Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting 1.2 Trouble Notifications The ONS 15454 uses standard Telcordia categories to characterize levels of trouble. The ONS 15454 reports both alarmed trouble notifications, under the Alarms tab, and non-alarmed (NA) trouble notifications, under the Conditions tab in CTC. Alarms signify a problem that the user needs to fix, such as a loss of signal (LOS).
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting 1.3 Alarm Procedures This section list alarms alphabetically and includes some conditions commonly encountered when troubleshooting alarms. The severity, description and troubleshooting procedure accompany each alarm and condition. 1.3.1 AIS • Not Reported (NR) The ONS 15454 detects an alarm indication signal (AIS) in the SONET overhead. This alarm is secondary to another alarm occurring simultaneously in an upstream node.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting 1.3.3 AIS-P • Not Reported (NR) (Condition) The ONS 15454 detects an alarm indication signal (AIS) in the SONET overhead. This alarm is secondary to another alarm occurring simultaneously in an upstream node. The AIS is caused by an incomplete circuit path, for example, when the port on the reporting node is in-service, but a node upstream on the circuit does not have its port in-service. The upstream node often reports a LOS or has an OC-N port out of service.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Procedure: Clear the AIS-V Condition on the DS-1/DS3XM-6 Card Step 1 Check upstream nodes and equipment for alarms, especially LOS and out-of-service ports. Step 2 Correct the upstream alarms. 1.3.5 APSB • Minor, Service affecting Line terminating equipment detects protection switching byte failure in the incoming automatic protection switching (APS) signal if an inconsistent APS byte or invalid code is detected.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting e. If two nodes have the same node ID number, change one node’s ID number so that each node has a unique node ID. f. Click Apply. Step 2 Verify correct configuration of east port and west port optical fibers (see the “E-W-MISMATCH” section on page 1-30). Step 3 Click Yes to accept the Ring Map. Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, check the ring map for each ONS 15454 in the network and verify that each node is visible to the other nodes. a.
Chapter 1 d. Alarm Troubleshooting Repeat steps a – c for all nodes in the ring. Step 4 If a node has a ring ID number that does not match the other nodes, change the ring ID number of that node to match the other nodes in the ring. Step 5 Click Apply. 1.3.8 APSCINCON • Minor, Service affecting An inconsistent automatic protection switching (APS) code is present.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Procedure: Clear the APSCM Alarm on an OC-N Card in 1+1 Mode Step 1 Verify that the working-card channel fibers connect directly to the adjoining node’s working-card channel fibers. Step 2 Verify that the protection-card channel fibers connect directly to the adjoining node’s protection-card channel fibers. 1.3.
Chapter 1 Step 3 Alarm Troubleshooting If the alarm does not clear, lockout a span on the ring and then clear the lockout: a. Click the Ring > Maintenance tabs. b. Click the table cell under the West Switch heading to reveal the pull-down menu. c. Select LOCKOUT SPAN and click Apply. d. Click OK on the BLSR Operations dialog box. e. Click the same table cell under the West Switch heading to reveal the pull-down menu. f. Select CLEAR and click Apply. g.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Note When replacing a card with an identical type of card, you do not need to change the CTC database. 1.3.12 APSMM • Minor, Non-service affecting An APS Mode Mismatch failure occurs when there is a mismatch of the protection switching schemes at the two ends of the span. If one node is provisioned for bidirectional switching, the node at the other end of the span must also be provisioned for bidirectional switching.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting The alarm raises when the OC-192 card temperature exceeds 90 degrees Centigrade. The internal equipment automatically shuts down the OC-192 laser when the card temperature rises to prevent the card from self-destructing. Procedure: Clear the AUTOLSROFF Alarm Step 1 Read the temperature displayed on the ONS 15454 LCD front panel. Step 2 If the temperature of the ONS 15454 exceeds 90 degrees Centigrade, complete the “Clear the HITEMP Alarm” procedure on page 1-43.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting AUTOSW-AIS indicates that automatic UPSR protection switching took place because of an AIS alarm. The UPSR is configured for revertive switching and will switch back to the working path after the fault clears. Troubleshoot with the “AIS” section on page 1-4. 1.3.16 AUTOSW-LOP • Minor, Non-service affecting AUTOSW-LOP indicates that automatic UPSR protection switching took place because of an LOP alarm.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting The BKUPMEMP alarm refers to a problem with the TCC+ card’s flash memory. The alarm occurs when the TCC+ card is in use and has one of four problems: the flash manager fails to format a flash partition, the flash manager fails to write a file to a flash partition, there is a problem at the driver level or the code volume fails cyclic redundancy checking (CRC). CRC is a method to check for errors in data transmitted to the TCC+.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Procedure: Clear the BLSROSYNC Alarm Step 1 Step 2 Prior to accepting a new mapping table, verify that each node has a unique node ID number: a. Log into a node on the ring. b. Click the Provisioning > Ring tabs. c. Record the Node ID number. d. Repeat steps a – c for all nodes in the ring. e. If two nodes have the same node ID number, change one node’s ring ID number. f. Click Apply. Verify that each node has a ring ID that matches the other node ring IDs: a.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting A carrier loss on the LAN is the data equivalent of an optical LOS. The Ethernet card has lost its link and is not receiving any signal, even an invalid one. The most common causes of this alarm are a disconnected cable or an improperly installed Ethernet card. CARLOSS also occurs after the restoration of a node’s database. In this instance, the alarm will clear in approximately 30 seconds after spanning tree protection reestablishes.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Procedure: Clear the CONCAT Alarm Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Check that the provisioned circuit size is correct: a. Click the Circuits tab. b. Find the appropriate row using the Circuit Name and record the size listed in the size column. c. Determine whether the size listed matches the original network design plan. If the circuit size listed does not match the original network design plan, delete the circuit: a. Click the circuit row to highlight it and click Delete.
Chapter 1 Step 6 b. Position the cursor over the active TCC+ card slot. c. Right click and choose RESET CARD. Alarm Troubleshooting If the alarm reappears after you perform the switch, replace the TCC+ card. a. Open the card ejectors. b. Slide the card out of the slot. c. Open the ejectors on the replacement card. d. Slide the replacement card into the slot along the guide rails. e. Close the ejectors.

Position the cursor over the slot reporting the alarm (slot X). c. Right-click and choose RESET CARD. Step 4 If the software reset does not clear the alarm, physically reseat the reporting card. Step 5 If all traffic cards report this alarm, perform a software reset of the active TCC+ card. a. Display the node view. b.
Chapter 1 Step 8 Alarm Troubleshooting If the alarm reappears when the TCC+ in Slot 7 reboots as the active TCC+, the TCC+ card in Slot 7 is defective and must be replaced. Note When you replace a card with an identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes to the database. 1.3.28 CONTBUS-B-X • Major, Non-service affecting The TCC+ card in Slot 11 lost communication with the card in Slot X.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Step 5 If the software reset does not clear the card, physically reseat the TCC+ card to perform a card pull. Step 6 If the alarm still does not clear, replace the TCC+ card. Note When you replace a card with an identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes to the database. 1.3.29 CONTBUS-B-18 • Major, Non-service affecting The main processor on the TCC+ card in Slot 11 lost communication with the coprocessor on the TCC+ card in Slot 7.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Caution All traffic on the reporting card is lost after this alarm is reported. Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly. Procedure: Clear the CTNEQPT-PB1PROT Alarm Step 1 Ensure that the reporting traffic card is physically present. Record the card type.
Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting Step 7 If the alarm does not clear after the cross-connect side switch, the problem may be located in the backplane. Call the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 1-877-323-7368 to discuss the case and possibly open a returned materials authorization (RMA). 1.3.

Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting 2.3.13 Calculate and Design IP Subnets Cisco provides a free online tool to calculate and design IP subnets. Go to http://www.cisco.com/techtools/ip_addr.html. For information about ONS 15454 IP capability, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide. 2.3.14 Ethernet Connections You can fix most connectivity problems in an Ethernet network by following a few guidelines. See Figure 2-12 when consulting the steps in the following procedure.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting e. Step 6 It is possible that the Ethernet port is functioning properly but the LNK LED itself is broken. Run the procedure in the “Lamp Test for Card LEDs” section on page 2-37. Verify connectivity between device A and device C by pinging between these locally-attached devices (see the “Verify PC Connection to ONS 15454 (ping)” section on page 2-23). If the ping is unsuccessful: a. Verify that device A and device C are on the same IP subnet. b.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting The solution is to set both ports in the VLAN to Tagged (detailed in the following procedure). Setting both ports in the VLAN to Tagged stops the stripping of the 4 bytes from the data packet and prevents the NIC card in the network access device from recognizing the packet as a runt and dropping it. Network devices with 802.1Q-compliant NIC cards will accept the tagged packets. Network devices with non-802.1Q compliant NIC cards will still drop these tagged packets.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting 2.4 Circuits and Timing This section provides solutions to circuit creation and reporting errors, as well as common timing reference errors and alarms. 2.4.1 AIS-V on DS3XM-6 Unused VT Circuits An incomplete circuit path causes an alarm indications signal (AIS); for example, when the port on the reporting node is in-service but a node upstream on the circuit does not have an OC-N port in-service.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting 2.4.3 Unable to Create Circuit From DS-3 Card to DS3XM-6 Card A circuit cannot be created from a DS-3 card to a DS3XM-6 card because the cards have different functions. DS3XM-6 converts each of its six DS-3 interfaces into 28 DS-1s for cross-connection through the network. Thus you can create a circuit from a DS3XM-6 card to a DS-1 card, but not from a DS3XM-6 card to a DS-3 card. These differences are evident in the STS path overhead.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting 2.4.7 Holdover Synchronization Alarm The clock is running at the frequency of the last known good reference input. This alarm is raised when the last reference input fails. See the “HLDOVERSYNC” section on page 1-43 for a detailed description of this alarm. Note The ONS 15454 supports holdover timing per Telcordia standard GR-4436 when provisioned for external (BITS) timing. 2.4.
Chapter 2 Warning General Troubleshooting Follow all directions and warning labels when working with optical fibers. To prevent eye damage, never look directly into a fiber or connector. Class IIIb laser. Danger, laser radiation when open. The OC-192 laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled 0). The laser is on when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The port does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. Avoid direct exposure to the beam.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting Step 5 Step 6 If no power level shows on the fiber, the fiber is bad or the transmitter on the optical card failed. a. Check that the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) fibers are not reversed. LOS and EOC alarms normally accompany reversed Tx and Rx fibers. Switching reversed Tx and Rx fibers clears the alarms and restores the signal. b. Clean or replace the fiber patch cords. If possible, do this for the OC-N card you are working on and the far-end card. c.
Chapter 2 General Troubleshooting Warning Class 1 laser product Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture ports of single-mode fiber optic modules when a cable is not connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures. Step 1 Disconnect the network interface fiber-optic cable from the GBIC SC connector and replace the protective plug. Step 2 Release the GBIC from the card-interface by simultaneously squeezing the two plastic tabs (one on each side of the GBIC).

Chapter 4 Card Reference Electrical Card Protection 4.2 Electrical Card Protection The ONS 15454 provides a variety of electrical card protection methods. This section describes the protection options. Figure 4-1 shows a 1:1 protection scheme and Figure 4-2 on page 4-13 shows a 1:N protection scheme. 4.2.1 Protection, 1:1 In 1:1 protection, a working card is paired with a protect card of the same type. If the working card fails, the traffic from the working card switches to the protect card.
Chapter 4 Card Reference Electrical Card Protection The physical DS-1 or DS-3 interfaces on the ONS 15454 backplane use the working card until the working card fails. When the node detects this failure, the protection card takes over the physical DS-1 or DS-3 electrical interfaces through the relays and signal bridging on the backplane. Figure 4-2 shows the ONS 15454 in a 1:N protection configuration. Each side of the shelf assembly has only one card protecting all of the cards on that side.
Chapter 4 Card Reference Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane For detailed procedures on setting up DS-1 and DS-3 protection groups, see the protection information in the Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide. 4.3 Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane Protection schemes for electrical cards differ slightly depending on the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) type used on the ONS 15454 backplane. The difference is due to the varying connector size.
Chapter 4 Card Reference Optical Card Protection used for working and protect modules; the protection of the card is defined by the slot where it is housed). Each slot maps to a set of 12 or 14 SMB connectors on the EIA depending on the number of ports on the corresponding card. Any slot can be used without protection for unprotected DS-1, DS-3, or EC-1 access. The DS1N-14 card can be a working or protect card in 1:1 or 1:N protection schemes.
Chapter 4 Card Reference Unprotected Cards 4.5 Unprotected Cards Unprotected cards are not included in a protection scheme; therefore, a card failure or a signal error results in lost data. Because no bandwidth lies in reserve for protection, unprotected schemes maximize the available ONS 15454 bandwidth. Figure 4-3 shows the ONS 15454 in an unprotected configuration. All cards are in a working state.
Chapter 4 Card Reference Timing Communication and Control (TCC+) Card 4.6 Timing Communication and Control (TCC+) Card The TCC+ performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET Data Communications Channel (DCC) termination, and system fault detection for the ONS 15454. The TCC+ also ensures that the system maintains Telcordia timing requirements. Figure 4-4 shows the TCC+ faceplate and a block diagram of the card.
Chapter 4 Card Reference Timing Communication and Control (TCC+) Card Install TCC+ cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC+ fails, traffic switches to the protect TCC+. All TCC+ protection switches conform to protection switching standards of less than 50 ms. The TCC+ features an RJ-45 10Base-T LAN port and an RS-232 DB9 type craft interface for user interfaces. The TL1 craft port runs at 9600 bps. Caution Cisco does not recommend operating the ONS 15454 with only one TCC+ card.

Chapter 4 Card Reference XC Cross-Connect Card 4.7 XC Cross-Connect Card The cross-connect card is the central element for ONS 15454 switching. Available cross-connects are the XC, XCVT, and XC10G. The XC establishes connections and performs time division switching (TDS) at the STS-1 level between ONS 15454 traffic cards. The XC card faceplate and block diagram are shown in Figure 4-5. The cross-connect matrix is shown in Figure 4-6 on page 4-21.

A card without this symbol is C-Temp compliant. – Operating Humidity: 5 - 95%, non-condensing – Power Consumption: 13 W, 0.28 amps, 46 BTU/Hr.
Chapter 4 Card Reference XCVT Cross-Connect Card 4.8 XCVT Cross-Connect Card The XCVT card provides the same STS capability as a standard XC card and also provides VT cross-connection. The XCVT provides non-blocking STS-48 capacity to all of the high-speed slots and non-bidirectional blocking STS-12 capacity to all multispeed slots. Any STS-1 on any port can be connected to any other port, meaning that the STS cross-connections are non blocking. Figure 4-7 shows the XCVT faceplate and block diagram.
Chapter 4 Card Reference XCVT Cross-Connect Card Caution Do not operate the ONS 15454 with a single TCC+ card or a single XCVT/XC10G/XC card installed. Always operate the shelf with one working card and one protect card. Duplex cards must be the same type.

Chapter 4 Card Reference XCVT Cross-Connect Card 4.8.4 XC/XCVT Compatibility The XCVT card is compatible with the XC cards. The XCVT supports run-time compatibility with the XC cross-connect both within a single node and within a ring of mixed XCVT and XC nodes. However, working and protect cards within a single ONS 15454 must be either two XC cards or two XCVT cards. If an XC card or an XCVT card are used together as a working and protect pair, the XCVT acts as an XC card.
Chapter 4 Card Reference XC10G Cross-Connect Card 4.9 XC10G Cross-Connect Card New to Software R3.1 is the XC10G card (Figure 4-9), which cross-connects STS-12, STS-48, and STS-192 signal rates. The XC10G allows up to four times the bandwidth of current XC and XCVT cards. The XC10G provides a maximum of 1152 STS-1 cross-connections. Any STS-1 on any port can be connected to any other port, meaning that the STS cross-connections are non blocking. Figure 4-9 shows the XC10G faceplate and block diagram.
