Alarm
A human observable indication that draws attention to a failure usually giving an
Anomaly
The smallest discrepancy which can be observed between the actual and desired
Defect
The density of anomalies has reached a level where the ability to perform a required
function has been interrupted. Defects are used as input for PM, the control of
consequent actions, and the determination of faults cause
The persistent or repeated occurrence of an anomaly for a pre-defined
duration or number of repetitions
11
www.mapyourtech.com
Defect naming
TU is used for TU-3s, TU-2s and TU-12s. Defect types beginning TU are not distinguishable.
When distinguishing LP and LPOM remember that LPs will be present when traffic is terminated and
function point. The category of the defect is "EXC" - EXCessive bit errors.
Excessive bit errors in a VC-3 will give an LP-EXC defect, as will excessive bit errors in a
VC-12. The two defects share their type but they have distinct instances. When the corresponding alarm is
reported to the user the type and instance will be reported.
12
www.mapyourtech.com
Defect Correlation
If a defect is subject to correlation
it will NOT be raised if another alarm is present.
Aim of defect correlation
The aim of correlation is to present to the operator only the alarm closest to the
source cause of a set of related defects. This reduces the amount of fault
analysis required of the operator and the traffic on communication channels.
Example:
If EXC is present it will hide the presentation of TIM, PLM, UNEQ etc.
More specifically EXC will mask TIM, PLM and UNEQ alarms.

What is a path?
A path is an end to end circuit
The ends of a LO path are where traffic is brought into SDH or removed from SDH
Paths carry VCs
LO VCs are
generated where traffic is brought into SDH
and terminated where it is removed
HO VCs are
Generated / terminated where traffic is brought into SDH or when LO VCs are brought

There are four sections Regenerator Section (RS), Multiplex Section (MS), Higher
Order Path Section (HP), and Lower Order Path Section (LP)
RS is a part (section) of the optical fibre network, within which RSOH part of SDH frame
is NOT opened
MS is a part (section) of the optical fibre network, within which MSOH part of SDH frame
is NOT opened
HP is a part (section) of the optical fibre network, within which higher order VC part of
SDH frame is NOT opened (it may be opened only for interpreting HOPOH)
LP is a part (section) of the optical fibre network, within which lower order VC part of
SDH frame is NOT opened (it may be opened only for interpreting LOPOH)
