Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide, R3.3

Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting
Alarm Procedures
Procedure: Clear the APSC-IMP Alarm
Step 1 To determine the validity of the K byte signal, examine the received signal. Use an optical test set
capable of viewing SDH overhead.
Step 2 If the K byte is invalid, the problem lies in upstream equipment and not in the reporting
ONS 15454 SDH. Troubleshoot the appropriate upstream equipment.
Step 3 If the K byte is valid, verify that each node has a ring ID that matches the other node ring IDs:
a. Using CTC, log into a node on the ring.
b. Click the Provisioning > Ring tabs.
c. Record the ring ID number.
d. 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.
1.5.4 APSCINCON
• Minor, Service-affecting
An inconsistent APS code is present. The SDH overhead contains K1/K2 APS bytes that notify receiving
equipment, such as the ONS 15454 SDH, to switch the SDH signal from a working to a protect path. An
inconsistent APS code occurs when three consecutive frames do not contain identical APS bytes.
Inconsistent APS bytes give the receiving equipment conflicting commands about switching.
Procedure: Clear the APSCINCON Alarm on an STM-N Card in an MS-SPRing
Step 1 Look for other alarms, especially LOS, loss of frame (LOF) or AIS. Clearing these alarms clears the
APSCINCON alarm.
Step 2 If an APSINCON alarm occurs with no other alarms, login to http://www.cisco.com/tac for more
information or login to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml to obtain a
directory of Cisco Technical Assistance Center toll-free numbers for your country.
1.5.5 APSCM
• Major, Service-affecting
The APS channel mismatch alarm occurs when the ONS 15454 SDH expects a working channel but
receives a protection channel. In many cases, the working and protection channels are crossed and the
protection channel is active. If the fibers are crossed and the working line is active, the alarm will not
occur. This alarm is raised in a 1+1 configuration. The APSCM alarm only occurs on the
ONS 15454 SDH when 1+1 bidirectional protection is used on STM-N cards in a 1+1 configuration.
