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.
Step 2 Click the Inventory tab to reveal the provisioned type.
If the actual card type and the provisioned card type do not match, complete the “Clear the MEA Alarm
on a Cross-Connect or Line Card” procedure on page 1-59.
Step 3 Perform a software reset of the reporting traffic card:
a. Display the CTC node view.
b. Position the cursor over the slot reporting the alarm.
c. Right-click and choose RESET CARD.
Step 4 If the software reset does not clear the alarm, physically reseat the reporting traffic card.
Step 5 If physically reseating the reporting traffic card does not clear the alarm, replace the reporting traffic
card.
Note When you replace a card with an identical type of card, you do not need to make any changes
to the database.
Step 6 If troubleshooting the reporting traffic card did not clear the alarm, perform a switch of the cross-connect
card:
a. Determine the active cross-connect card. The ACT/STBY LED of the active card is green. The
ACT/STBY LED of the standby card is amber.
Note You can also place the cursor over the card graphic to display a popup identifying the
card as active or standby.
b. In the node view, select the Maintenance > XC Cards tabs.
c. From the Cross Connect Cards menu, choose Switch.
d. Click Yes on the Confirm Switch dialog box.
Note After the active cross-connect goes into standby, the original standby slot becomes
active. This causes the ACT/STBY LED to become green on the former standby card.
