1 Overview
This chapter describes the meaning, indicator status, category, range, and impact of the alarms
of four levels. It also describes the meaning and category of performance events, and provides
the suppression relation of alarms and performance event suppression by alarms.
The alarm level is used to identify the severity, importance, and urgency of the alarms. The
alarms can be classified into the following four levels in the sequence of decreasing severity:
critical alarm, major alarm, minor alarm, and warning alarm.
l Critical alarm: The alarm needs to be handled immediately; otherwise, the system will be
down.
l Major alarm: The alarm needs to be handled in time; otherwise, some important functions
will not be performed.
l Minor alarm: The alarm is used to inform the maintenance personnel of locating the alarm
causes and removing the incipient fault.
l Warning alarm: The alarm need not be handled. The maintenance personnel only need to
know the running status of the equipment.
For the meaning and corresponding indicator status on the board of the alarms of the four levels,
see Table 1-1.
Critical alarm Global fault alarms and event alarms that The SRV indicator is on
cause system down (red).
Major alarm Faulty alarms and event alarms of certain The SRV indicator is on
boards or lines (red).
Minor alarm General fault alarms and event alarms that are The SRV is on (yellow).
used to indicate whether the board or line is
normally working such as board reset and
failure or timeout of occupation of common
resources.
Warning Fault alarms and event alarms for warning The alarm indicator is off.
alarm
The alarms can be classified into the following six categories. For details, see Table 1-2.
Process alarm Alarms related to the software The alarm is generated when the
processing and anomalies database is in error or the NE is in
the installing state.
Equipment alarm Alarms related to the hardware of The alarm is generated when the
the equipment laser is faulty or the optical
interface is looped back.
Service alarm Alarms related to the service status The alarm is generated when the
and network service quality signals at the line layer are
degraded.
Environment Alarms related to the power supply The alarm is generated when the
alarm system and environment of the temperature of the power module is
equipment room excessively high.
Security alarm Alarms related to the network The alarm is generated when the
management and the NE security NE user is not logged in.
The performance events are important parameters that reflect the working performance of the
equipment. Knowledge of the generation principle, related boards, and alarms of the
performance events is helpful to find incipient faults in routine maintenance and analyze the
fault. The categories of the performance events are listed in Table 1-3.
The performance events and alarms are related. When the number of performance events exceeds
the pre-set threshold, the related alarm is triggered. Hence, when a performance event is
generated, check whether the related alarm is generated and handle the performance event
according to the handling procedure of the related alarm.
The OptiX OSN 8800 I provides the remote monitoring function through which the network can
monitor the transmission of data in different network segments. Remote monitoring (RMON)
provides flexible detection modes and control mechanisms to cater for the needs of different
types of networks. The RMON defines a serial of statistic formats and functions to realize the
data exchange among the control stations and detection stations in compliance with the RMON
standard. The RMON also provides error diagnosis, planning, and information receiving of the
performance events of the entire network.
Performance event related to bit The performance event is generated when bit errors occur
errors of the regenerator section at the regenerator section in the SDH frames of the signals
on the WDM side or the client side of the board.
Performance event related to bit The performance event is generated when bit errors occur
errors of the multiplex section at the multiplex section in the SDH frames of the signals
on the WDM side or the client side of the board.
Performance event related to bit The performance event is generated when bit errors occur
errors of the higher order path in the higher order path.
Performance event related to bit The performance event is generated when bit errors occur
errors of the lower order path in the lower order path.
Performance event of pointer The performance event is generated when the board
justification performs the pointer justification
Performance event related to the The performance event is generated when the board
verification and error correction performs the service verification or bit error correction.
Performance event related to the The performance event is generated when the optical
equipment function power, working current of the laser, or other factors about
the running environment exceed the threshold.
OTN performance event The performance event is generated when bit errors occur
in the PM, TCM, or SM segment of the OTN service.
TCM Performance Event The TCM performance events are used to monitor the
transmission performance in the tandem connection.
RMON performance event The performance event is related to the mode in which the
board transmits or receives the data packets and the
number and quality of transmitted or received packets in
different lengths.
1.4.1 Overview
This section describes the seven types of scenarios of the alarm signal flow, SF, SD, and basic
concepts in the alarm signal flow diagram.
Classification
For a WDM product, the detection and transmission of alarms vary according to the type of the
signals that are accessed into the OTU. The OTU is classified into the following types:
l Non-convergent OTU
It refers to an OTU that converts one channel of client service signals.
l Convergent OTU
It refers to an OTU that converges and converts multiple channels of client service signals.
l Regenerating OTU
It refers to an OTU that regenerates the corresponding service signals at an intermediate
station.
According to the type of the OTU and the type of the signals accessed by the OTU, the following
seven situations are defined in this section:
SF and SD
SF is a signal failure event, and SD is a signal degrade event. The SF and SD events are trigger
conditions of a protection switching. Whether the SD event is used as a trigger condition,
however, it can be set by the user.
The SF and SD events are marked in the alarm signal flow diagrams in this section. These events
are generated when the equipment configured with network protection detects a certain alarm.
If the equipment is not configured with the network protection, The SF and SD events are not
detected or reported.
Concepts
The following concepts are used in the diagrams in this section:
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the alarm signal flows when the non-convergent OTU processes
standard SDH signals.
NOTE
The ALS function of the OTU shown in the figures in this section is not enabled.

This section describes the alarm signal flow by analyzing how the OTU processes the R_LOS
alarm and PM BIP8 errors. The alarm signal flows of other alarms are similar.
l R_LOS
The client side of the OTU at station A receives R_LOS signals. The R_LOS signals are
processed on the WDM side of the OTU and then are sent to station B. The client side of
the OTU at station B detects the REM_SF alarm. The alarm is then sent to the downstream
client device of station B, and the OTU reports the R_LOF alarm to the client device.
l PM BIP8 errors
The OTU at station B detects PM BIP 8 errors on the WDM side. When the PM BIP 8
errors exceed the threshold, the ODUk_PM_DEG or ODUk_PM_EXC alarm is generated.
The number of errors determines which alarm is generated. In addition, the performance
events indicting ODUk PM remote bit errors are sent to the WDM side of upstream station
A. The bit errors are then sent to the client device (The bit errors cannot be sent to the
downstream station except that the PM BIP 8 errors are from the data inside). The alarms
related to bit errors are detected in the client device.

This section describes the alarm signal flow by analyzing how the OTU processes the
OTUk_LOF alarm. The alarm signal flows of other alarms are similar.
The WDM side of the OTU at station B detects the OTUk_LOF alarm. Then, the OTU sends
the ODUk_PM_BDI and OTUk_BDI alarms to the WDM side of upstream station A. In addition,
the alarm is then sent to the client side of station B. After the alarm is processed on the client
side, the R_LOF alarm is detected in the client device.
Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 show the alarm signal flows when the non-convergent OTU processes
standard OTN signals.
NOTE
The ALS function of the OTU shown in the figures in this section is not enabled.
The non-intrusive monitoring of the board shown in the figures in this section is enabled.

This section describes the alarm signal flow by analyzing how the OTU unit processes the
R_LOS and OTUk_LOF alarms. The alarm signal flow of other alarms is similar.
l R_LOS
The client side of the OTU at station A receives R_LOS signals. The R_LOS signals are
processed on the WDM side of the OTU and then are sent to station B. The WDM side of
the OTU at station B detects the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm, and then an SF event is generated.
The event triggers a protection switching. The alarm is then sent to the downstream client
equipment of station B, and the OTU reports the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm to the client
equipment.
l OTUk_LOF
The OTUk_LOF alarm is detected on the WDM side of the OTU board at station B, and
station B sends the OTUk_BDI alarm to the WDM side of the OTU at the upstream station
A. At the same time, the alarm is then sent to the downstream station of station B, where
it is processed on the client side of the OTU. In this case, the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm is
detected in the client equipment. An SF event is generated on the WDM side of the OTU
at station B, and a service channel protection switching is triggered.
The client side of the OTU at station A receives OTUk_LOF signals. The OTU sends the
OTUk_BDI alarm to the upstream client equipment of station A. In addition, the LOF alarm
is processed on the WDM side of the OTU and then is sent to station B. The WDM side of
the OTU at station B detects the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm, and then an SF event is generated.
The event triggers a protection switching. The alarm is then sent to the downstream client
equipment of station B, and the OTU reports the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm to the client
equipment.

l OTUk_TIM
After the OTU at station A receives the OTUk_TIM alarm on the client side, it sends the
OTUk_BDI alarm to the upstream station, but it does not send the OTUk_TIM alarm to
the downstream station. If the TIM is enabled in the subsequent action, an SF event is
generated and the WDM side of the OTU at station B reports the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm.
The ODUk_PM_AIS alarm is sent to the downstream and the client device reports this
alarm.
After the OTU at station B receives the OTUk_TIM alarm on the WDM side, this alarm is
not sent to the downstream if the TIM is not enabled in the subsequent action. If the TIM
is enabled in the subsequent action, an SF event is generated. After the client side of station
B processes the event, the client device reports the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm.
l OTUk_BDI
The OTU detects the OTUk_BDI alarm from the upstream station. This alarm is not sent
to the downstream station.
l ODUk_PM_TIM/ODUk_PM_BDI
The OTU transparently transmits all PM alarms.
l ODUk_PM_AIS/ODUk_PM_LCK/ODUk_PM_OCI
The client side of the OTU at station A receives ODUk_PM_AIS, ODUk_PM_LCK, or
ODUk_PM_OCI signals. The signals are not processed and reported at the local station.
After the signals are sent to station B, the WDM side of the OTU at station B detects the
ODUk_PM_AIS, ODUk_PM_LCK, or ODUk_PM_OCI alarm. Then, an SF event is
generated. The event triggers a protection switching. The alarm is then sent to the
downstream client equipment of station B, and the OTU reports the ODUk_PM_AIS,
ODUk_PM_LCK, or ODUk_PM_OCI alarm to the client equipment.
l R_LOS
The WDM side of the OTU at station B detects the R_LOS alarm. The OTU sends the
OTUk_BDI alarm to the WDM side of upstream station A. In addition, the alarm is then
sent to the client side of station B. After the alarm is processed on the client side, the
ODUk_PM_AIS alarm is detected in the client equipment.
An SF event is generated on the WDM side of the OTU at station B, and a protection
switching is triggered.
Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6 show the alarm signal flows when the convergent OTU processes
standard SDH signals.
NOTE
In Figure 1-5, N#1 indicates channel 1 at optical interface N of the OTU. For example, the client-side
optical interfaces of the LQMD are numbered 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the WDM-side optical interface of the
LQMD is numbered 1. Hence, 3#1 indicates channel 1 at client-side optical interface 3. 1#N indicates
channel N at WDM-side optical interface 1 on the OTU. For example, 1#3 indicates channel 3 at WDM-
side optical interface 1.
Middle part is the middle part between the WDM side and the client side. It is a virtual concept, and thus
is not displayed on the U2000. This concept is introduced to describe the alarm detection mechanism. In
the middle part of the convergent OTU, the optical interface numbers and channel numbers of signals are
reallocated.

NOTE
In Figure 1-7, N#1 indicates channel 1 at optical interface N of the OTU. For example, the client-side

The value of k on the WDM-side is different from that of the client device.
This section describes the alarm signal flow through an example in which four client-side
services are accessed on the convergent OTU.
The WDM side of the OTU at station B accesses and processes the alarm signals. The OTU
sends the ODUk_PM_BDI or OTUk_BDI alarm to the WDM side of upstream station A.
In addition, the alarm is then sent to the client side of station B. After the alarm is processed
on the client side, the ODUk_PM_AIS alarm is detected in the client device.
An SF event is generated on the WDM side of the OTU at station B, and a protection
switching is triggered.
l There are bit error alarms on the WDM side.
The WDM side of the OTU at station B accesses and processes the bit error alarm signals.
The OTU sends the remote bit error performance events to the WDM side of upstream
station A. The alarm is then sent to the client side of the downstream station B. The error-
dependent alarm is detected in the client device.
An SD event is generated on the WDM side of the OTU at station B, and a protection
switching is triggered.

In the case of the regenerating OTU, all alarms in the SM section are terminated at the local
station and are not sent to the downstream station (except that the OTUk_LOF alarm is inserted
with an ODUk_PM_AIS alarm to the downstream station). Other alarms are then sent to the
downstream station, and are reported on the WDM side of the OTU (except that the R_LOS
alarm is inserted with an ODUk_PM_AIS alarm to the downstream station).
Straight-Through Mode
Figure 1-10 shows the unidirectional signal flow in the straight-through mode.
NOTE
The optical interface number and channel number shown in Figure 1-10 are the numbers that are displayed
on the U2000.

As shown in Figure 1-10, the four channels of optical signals accessed from RX1-RX4 on unit
A at the upstream station are sent to channels 3-6 that correspond to the OUT port in the straight-
through mode. One channel of optical signals that are input from the IN port on unit B at the
downstream station is demultiplexed into four channels of optical signals, which are then directly
sent to TX1-TX4.
Hence, in the straight-through mode, the REM_SF and REM_SD alarms at the downstream
station indicate that the signals at the corresponding port on the client side at the upstream station
fail or bit errors at this port exceed the threshold. For example, when the services in channel 1
at optical interface 3 on unit A at the upstream station fail, channel 1 at optical interface 3 on
unit B at the downstream station reports the REM_SF alarm.
Cross-Connect Mode
The cross-connect mode is classified into intra-unit cross-connection and inter-unit cross-
connection.
l Intra-unit cross-connection
In Figure 1-11, the cross-connection from RX3 (channel 1 at optical interface 5) on unit
A to OUT (channel 3 at optical interface 1) on unit A is defined as the intra-unit cross-
connection.
l Inter-unit cross-connection
In Figure 1-11, the cross-connection from RX1 (channel 1 at optical interface 3) on unit
C to OUT (channel 6 at optical interface 1) on unit A is defined as the inter-unit cross-
connection. The inter-unit cross-connection is realized by using the backplane.
Figure 1-11 shows the unidirectional signal flow in the cross-connect mode.

The signals that are received from RX3 (channel 1 at optical interface 5) on unit A at the upstream
station are sent to IN (channel 3 at optical interface 1) on unit B at the downstream station. The
signals received from RX1 (channel 1 at optical interface 3) on unit C at the upstream station
are sent to IN (channel 6 at optical interface 1) on unit B at the downstream station.
The meaning of optical channels regarding the REM_SF and REM_SD alarms in the cross-
connect mode is different from that in the straight-through mode. For example, when the services
in channel 1 at optical interface 4 on unit A at the upstream station fail, unit B at the downstream
station reports the REM_SF alarm in channel 1 at optical interface 3; when the services in channel
1 at optical interface 3 on unit C at the upstream station fail, unit B at the downstream station
reports the REM_SF alarm in channel 1 at optical interface 6.
Hence, when a unit reports the REM_SF or REM_SD alarm, query the cross-connections of the
unit at the upstream station to locate the alarm signal source. Then, check whether the client
signal status such as the optical power, fibers and optical modules in the channel at the
corresponding optical interface is normal. If not, take the corresponding maintenance measures.
NOTICE
In any mode, proper configuration must be made on the U2000.
The GE services are encapsulated into OTN signals or SDH signals after they are accessed on
the client side of the OTU on an Ethernet network. The alarm signal processing when the GE
services are encapsulated into OTN signals differs slightly from the alarm signal processing
when the GE services are encapsulated into SDH signals.
Figure 1-12 and Figure 1-13 show the signal flow when the GE services are encapsulated into
OTN signals and the signal flow when the GE services are encapsulated into SDH signals
respectively.

This section describes the alarm signal flow when the OTU processes the R_LOS and
LINK_ERR alarms. The signal flow for processing other alarms is similar.
l R_LOS
The client sides of the OTUs at station A and station B work in the non-auto-negotiation
mode. The R_LOS alarm signal is received on the client side of the OTU at station A. The
alarm signal is sent to station B after it is processed on the WDM side of the OTU. In this
case, the REM_SF alarm is generated on the client side of the OTU at station B, and the
client equipment at station B reports the LINK_ERR alarm.
The client sides of the OTUs at station A and station B work in the auto-negotiation mode.
The R_LOS alarm signal is received on the client side of the OTU at station A. The alarm
signal is sent to station B after it is processed on the WDM side of the OTU. In this case,
the REM_SF and LINK_ERR alarms are generated on the client side of the OTU at station
B, and the client equipment at station B reports the LINK_ERR alarm.
l LINK_ERR
The client sides of the OTUs at station A and station B work in the non-auto-negotiation
mode. The client signals at station A contain LINK_ERR alarms, and the client signals are
transmitted transparently from station A to the WDM side of the OTU at station B.
The client sides of the OTUs at station A and station B work in the auto-negotiation mode.
In the case of the Ethernet board that supports the LPT function, when the LPT enabling
status is set to Disable, the LINK_ERR alarm is not generated on the client side of the OTU
at station B; when the LPT enabling status is set to Enable, the LINK_ERR alarm is
generated on the client side of the OTU at station B.

This section describes the alarm signal flow when the R_LOS alarm is received on the WDM
side of the OTU at station B. The signal flow for processing other alarms is similar to Figure
1-12.
After the R_LOS alarm is received on the WDM side of the OTU at station B, the SF event is
generated. In addition, station B sends the MS_BDI alarm to the WDM side of the OTU at station
A, and the client equipment at station B reports the LINK_ERR alarm.
Certain alarms are specific to the OCh, OMS, or OTS optical layer. This section mainly describes
the association relations between the optical-layer alarms generated by each NE.
The following part describes the alarm association relations in three network scenarios, as shown
in Figure 1-14, Figure 1-15, and Figure 1-16.

In this scenario, there are two stations. Station A and station B are OTM stations.

by station A.
The FIU board at station B reports the OTS_TIM alarm and the FIU board at station A
reports the OTS_BDI alarm.

In this scenario, there are three stations. Station A and station C are OTM stations, and station
B is an OLA station.
In this scenario, station OLA only amplifies signals and terminates the OTS layer. The OMS
and OCh trails are between station A and station C.
In case of the following faults, the association relations of alarms are as follows:
l The fiber from station A to station B is cut.
The FIU board at station B reports the OTS_LOS alarm and the OD unit at station C reports
the OMS_FDI or OMS_SSF alarm. The FIU board and OM unit at station A report the
OTS_BDI alarm and OMS_BDI alarm respectively.
l At station A, the optical amplifier unit in direction A-to-B is faulty.
The FIU board at station B reports the OTS_LOS-P alarm. The OD unit at station C reports
the OMS_FDI-P or OMS_SSF-P alarm. The FIU board and OM unit at station A report the
OTS_BDI-P alarm and OMS_BDI-P alarm respectively.
l At station A, the optical amplifier in direction A-to-B loses input light.
The FIU board at station A inserts the OTS_PMI signal and the FIU board at station B does
not report the OTS_LOS-P alarm.
l At station A, the fiber in direction SC1-to-FIU is cut.
The FIU board at station B reports the OTS_LOS-O alarm. The OD unit at station C reports
the OMS_FDI-O or OMS_SSF-O alarm. The FIU board and OM unit at station A report
the OTS_BDI-O alarm and OMS_BDI-O alarm respectively.
l The configuration of TTI to be received at station B is inconsistent with TTI transmitted
by station A.
The FIU board at station B reports the OTS_TIM alarm. The OD unit at station C reports
the OMS_FDI or OMS_SSF alarm. The FIU board and OM unit at station A report the
OTS_BDI alarm and OMS_BDI alarm respectively.

In this scenario, there are three stations. Station A and station C are OTM stations, and station
B is an ROADM station.
In this scenario, station ROADM adds and drops certain wavelengths. That is, certain
wavelengths are between stations A and B, or stations B and C, and the other wavelengths are
between stations A and C. Hence, certain OCh trails are between stations A and B, or B and C,
and the other OCh trails are between stations A and C.
In case of the following faults, the association relations of alarms are as follows:
l The fiber from station A to station B is cut.
The FIU board at station B reports the OTS_LOS alarm and the FIU board at station A
reports the OTS_BDI alarm. Station C reports the OCh_FDI or OCh_SSF alarm (for
wavelengths between stations A and C).
The OTU board at station C reports the OCh_LOS-P alarm (for wavelengths from station
B to station C).
When the equipment is faulty, several alarms may be generated by the same optical interface.
However, some alarms are not important for the maintenance engineer. For example, when the
signal is lost, the optical interface generates the R_LOS alarm accompanied with the alarm
indicating that the B1/B2 bit errors cross the threshold. However, the alarm indicating that the
B1/B2 bit errors cross the threshold is not important for the maintenance engineer. In this case,
the equipment suppresses the alarm indicating that the B1/B2 bit errors cross the threshold
through the R_LOS alarm. Only the R_LOS alarm is reported by the optical interface.
Some alarms for the optical module are exceptional. For example, the R_LOS alarm suppresses the
IN_PWR_LOW alarm.
l There is no alarm suppression relation for the alarms that cannot be generated at the same
time.
The alarm above the arrow suppresses the alarm below the arrow. For example, the OTUk_LOM
alarm suppresses the OTUk_TIM alarm.

When the equipment is faulty, several alarms and performance events may be generated by the
same optical interface. However, some alarms and performance events are not important for the
maintenance engineer. For example, when the signal is lost, the optical interface generates the
R_LOS alarm accompanied with the B1/B2 bit error performance event. However, the B1/B2
bit error performance event is not important for the maintenance engineer. In this case, the
equipment suppresses the B1/B2 bit error performance event through the R_LOS alarm. Only
the R_LOS alarm is reported by the optical interface.
Table 1-4 lists the performance events suppressed by the R_LOS alarm.

This chapter describes common information relevant to alarm handling, including alarm
descriptions, alarm parameters, impacts of alarms on the system, alarm causes, and alarm
handling procedures.
NOTE
In the case of an alarm, see its handling procedure to clear it; if the alarm persists, contact Huawei engineers
for troubleshooting.
The alarm handling involves board reset, either cold or warm. Cold reset and warm reset have
different impacts on services.
l Reset of the SCC board: A warm reset of the SCC is a restart of the upper-layer software,
neither the FPGA file nor hardware data is updated and so a warm reset does not interrupt
services. A cold reset of the SCC might result in re-setting of the key hardware, such as
FPGA reloading; the upper-layer software need be restarted.
l Reset of other boards: A warm reset on other boards does not affect running services while
a cold reset on other boards does. If such a board is reset improperly, the communication
between the board and the SCC is affected and even the services are interrupted.
Certain alarms listed in this chapter are handled in different ways, because the board types are
different. This chapter describes how to handle alarms in the OCS and OTN systems separately
according to the system where the board is located.

Description
The CHAN_LOS alarm indicates the single wavelength signal loss. The alarm is generated when
the MCA (optical spectrum analyzer) board detects that the original channel is lost after it scans
the optical spectrum.
Attribute
Parameters
None
Possible Causes
l Cause 1: The wavelength that needs to be monitored is not accessed. For example, in the
following figure, wavelength λ1 needs to be monitored, but actually λ1 is not accessed. The
possible cause is that the fiber to the client or WDM side of OTU1 is disconnected.

Client side WDM side WDM side Client side
Station A Station B
l Cause 2: The laser of the board at the opposite station is shut down. For example, the laser
of OTU1 in the preceding figure is shut down.
l Cause 3: The attenuation of the multiplexer or OA unit in the upstream of the MCA is
excessively high.
l Cause 4: The OTU in the upstream of the MCA is faulty. For example, OTU1 in the
preceding figure is faulty.
l Cause 5: The MCA that reports the alarm is faulty.
Procedure
l Query the alarm on the U2000 and record the IDs of the port and channel where the alarm
is generated. Parameter 2 and parameter 3 indicate the number of wavelengths in which
the alarm is generated.
l Cause 1: The wavelengths that need to be monitored are not accessed.
1. Check whether the wavelength where the alarm is generated is required in the actual
network. If not, modify the wavelength monitoring configuration of the MCA so that
the monitoring of the wavelength is disabled.
2. If the wavelength needs to be accessed in the actual network, check the fiber
connection in the upstream stations along the signal flow and make sure that the fiber
connection is established properly.
l Cause 2: The laser of the board at the opposite station is shut down.
1. Check whether the laser of the OTU that transmits the wavelength is shut down. If the
laser is shut down, opening the Laser.
l Cause 3: The attenuation of the multiplexer or OA unit in the upstream of the MCA is
excessively high.
1. Query the output optical power of the upstream OTU connected to the multiplexer
unit. Make sure that the queried output optical power of the upstream OTU is within
the normal range.
2. Query the input optical power of the optical interface (on the MCA) that reports the
alarms, and then calculate the output optical power of the upstream multiplexer or OA
unit to determine whether the output optical power is within the normal range. For the
optical power specification of the specific board, refer to "Technical Specifications"
of the Product Description . If the optical power is excessively low or there is no light,
check the attenuation that is set for the input optical power on the multiplexer or OA
unit. If the attenuation is excessively high, decrease the attenuation of the multiplexer
or OA unit.
NOTE
Output optical power of the multiplexer or OA unit (dBm) = Input optical power at the IN port
on the MCA (dBm) - 10lg(MON/OUT) (dBm). MON/OUT represents the split ratio of the
MON port on the multiplexer or OA unit.
l Cause 4: The OTU in the upstream of the MCA is faulty.
1. Query the optical spectrum data at the optical interface where the alarm is generated
on the MCA. If the data is abnormal, replace the OTU that transmits the wavelength
to the MCA. For details, refer to "Replacing a Board" of the Supporting Tasks.
l Cause 5: The MCA that reports the alarm is faulty.
1. Use an optical spectrum analyzer to analyze the optical spectrum data of the
corresponding optical interface on the MCA. If the data is normal, perform a cold reset
on the MCA.
2. If the alarm persists, replace the MCA that reports the alarm. For details, refer to
"Replacing a Board" of the Supporting Tasks.

4 Alarm Processing
This chapter describes information relevant to alarm handling, including alarm descriptions,
alarm parameters, impacts of alarms on the system, alarm causes, and alarm handling procedures.
NOTE
If the fault of an alarm cannot be located, contact Huawei engineers for troubleshooting.
The alarm handling involves board reset, either of cold or warm. Warm reset and cold reset have
different impacts on services.
l Reset of the SCC board: A warm reset of the SCC is a restart of the upper-layer software,
which neither updates the FPGA or hardware data nor interrupts services. A cold reset of
the SCC may result in reconfiguration of the key hardware, such as FPGA reloading; the
upper-layer software need be restarted.
l Reset of other boards: a reset of software on other boards does not affect running services
while a reset of hardware on other boards does. A mis-reset of such a board affects the
communication between this board and the SCC and even interrupts services.
The handling measures of certain alarms in this chapter vary according to the boards that report
these alarms, and thus the handling measures of these alarms are described according to the
systems (OCS and OTN systems) that the boards belong to.

Cell Delimitation State Machine
The cell delimitation state machine has three states: HUNT, PRESYNC, and SYNC. In the
HUNT state, the state machine searches the position of delimiting cells in the BYTE BY BYTE
manner. After finding a correct HCS, the state machine changes to the PRESYNC state. In the
PRESYNC state, the state machines locks the position of delimiting cells. After consecutively
receiving DELTA correct HCS cells, the state machine changes to the SYNC state. In this case,
the cell boundary is found. In the PRESYNC state, after receiving an incorrect HCS cell, the
state machine returns to the HUNT state. In the SYNC state, after consecutively receiving
ALPHA incorrect HCS cells, the state machine changes to the HUNT state. Otherwise, it keeps
in the SYNC state, as shown in the following figure.

Attribute
Parameters
None
Possible Causes
l The attenuation of the received signals is overlarge; the fiber or connector is dirty.
l The transmit part of the opposite station is faulty.
l The receive part of the local station is faulty.
Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the receive optical power of the interface is within the normal range by using
the U2000. For optical power specifications of specific boards, see the Product Description. If
the receive optical power of the board at the local station is excessively low, clear the alarm
according to the handling procedure of the IN_PWR_LOW alarm.
Step 2 If the alarm persists, check whether the transmit optical power of the corresponding interface
on the upstream board is within the normal range by using the U2000. For theoptical power
specifications of specific boards, see the Product Description. If the transmit optical power of
the board at the upstream station is excessively low, clear the alarm according to the handling
procedure of the OUT_PWR_LOW alarm.
Step 3 If the alarm persists, check whether the bit error alarm exists at the upstream station by using
the U2000 and loop back the transmit optical interface and receive optical interface on the
WDM side of the OTU board at the upstream station. If bit errors exist, clear the bit error fault
of the upstream station.
Step 4 If the alarm persists and the faulty board supports the pluggable optical module, replace the
pluggable optical module. For details, see the Parts Replacement.
Step 5 If the alarm persists, replace the faulty board at the local station. For details, see the Parts

4.31 CLK_NO_TRACE_MODE
Description
The CLK_NO_TRACE_MODE is an alarm indicating that the clock enters the non-tracing
mode. This alarm is generated when the current clock does not trace any line clock source,
tributary clock source, or external clock source.
Attribute
Alarm Severity Alarm Type
Parameters
None
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the CLK_NO_TRACE_MODE alarm are as follows:
l Cause 1: A priority table is not manually set for the system, and NEs use their own default
priority tables.
l Cause 2: A priority table is set, but only the internal clock source in the priority table can
be traced.
Procedure
l Cause 1: A priority table is not manually set for the system, and NEs use their own default
priority tables.
1. Query the current priority table of the system. If there is only the internal clock source
in the priority table, set the clock source priority table to include other available clock
sources. After the setting, the alarm is automatically cleared. For details, see
Configuring the System Clock Source Priority Table in the Feature Description.
l Cause 2: A priority table is set, but only the internal clock source in the priority table can
be traced.
1. In the current priority table, if the internal clock source is not the only available source,
find out why other clock sources cannot be traced. Common causes are as follows:
– The existence status of the clock source is lost. In this case, the system generates
the SYNC_C_LOS alarm. After the SYNC_C_LOS alarm is cleared, the system
clock traces any clock source other than the internal clock source, and then check
whether the CLK_NO_TRACE_MODE alarm is cleared.
– The synchronous source is degraded. In this case, the system generates the
SYN_BAD alarm. After the SYN_BAD alarm is cleared, the system clock traces
any clock source other than the internal clock source, and then check whether the
CLK_NO_TRACE_MODE alarm is cleared.
– The local station enables the SSM protocol, while the upstream station does not
enable the SSM protocol. In this case, enable the SSM protocol at the upstream
station. When the system clock traces any clock source other than the internal clock
source, the CLK_NO_TRACE_MODE alarm is automatically cleared. For details,
see Configuring the Clock Source Protection in the Feature Description.

Description
Administrative unit pointer justification count high
It indicates the positive justification count of the AU pointer when the rate of VC frame is
adjusted.
Impact on System
A small number of pointer justification counts bring no impact on the services. A large number
of pointer justification counts, however, cause bit errors in the services. In this case, determine
the cause and solve the problem in a timely manner to avoid any alarm, and thus to ensure the
signal transmission quality.

Procedure
Step 1 Check whether clock alarms, such as the SYN_BAD, LTI, S1_SYN_CHANGE and
EXT_SYNC_LOS, are generated in the whole network. If yes, take priority to clear them.
Step 2 For the network-wide pointer justification, check whether the clock configurations are consistent
with those specified in the plan, including clock ID, SSM protocol, and clock tracing level.
Step 3 For the non-network-wide pointer justification, check whether the optical fibers are connected
correctly, and whether the ambient temperature of the equipment is within the normal range. If
the AU pointer justification event occurs continuously, contact the technical support engineers
of Huawei.
