b. Position the cursor over the slot reporting the alarm.
c. Right-click and choose RESET CARD.
Step 6 If this fails to clear the alarm, physically reseat the TCC+ card.
Step 7 If the reset fails to clear the alarm, 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.
1.3.118 SYSBOOT
• Major, Service affecting
This alarm indicates that new software is booting on the TCC+ card. This is an informational alarm. No
action is required. The alarm clears when all cards finish rebooting the new software. The reboot takes
up to 30 minutes.
1.3.119 TIM-P
• Minor, Service affecting
The STS Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path alarm occurs when the expected path trace string does not
match the received path trace string. Path Trace Mode must be set to manual or Auto for this alarm to
occur.
In manual mode at the Path Trace screen, the user types the expected string into the New Expected String
field for the receiving port. This string must match the string typed into the New Transmit String field
for the sending port. If these fields do not match, the TIM-P alarm will occur. In Auto mode on the
receiving port, the card sets the expected string to the value of the received string. If the alarm occurs on
a port that has been operating with no alarms, this means the circuit path changed or someone typed and
entered a new incorrect value into the New Transmit String field. Follow the procedure below to clear
either instance.
This alarm also occurs on a port that has previously been operating without alarms if someone switches
or removes the DS-3 cables or optical fibers that connect the ports. This TIM-P occurrence is usually
accompanied by other alarms, such as LOS, UNEQ-P, or PLM-P. In this case, reattach or replace the
original cables/fibers to clear the alarm.
Procedure: Clear the TIM-P Alarm
Step 1 Log into the circuit source node and select the Circuits tab.
Step 2 Select the circuit reporting the alarm, then click Edit.
Step 3 At the bottom of the Edit Circuit window, check the Show Detailed Map box.
Step 4 On the detailed circuit map, right-click the source circuit port and select Edit Path Trace from the
shortcut menu.
