About This Chapter
Alarm Clearing
Alarm handling is essential for the maintenance of the OptiX OSN 9500. An effective analysis of alarms is the key to clear them. Therefore, you need to locate the causes of the alarms first and then clear them. Based on the generation and handling methods, the alarms are classified into equipment alarm, communication alarm, QoS alarm, processing alarm, environment alarm and security alarm. This chapter describes the causes and handling methods of common alarms.
The alarm level is the default one.

3.1 ALM_ALS
Description
The ALM_ALS is an alarm of automatic laser shutdown (ALS). If the ALS function is enabled, the system automatically shuts down the laser in the transmit direction of the optical interface that receives an R_LOS alarm, and at the same time reports the ALM_AIS alarm. When the R_LOS alarm is cleared, the system automatically turns on the laser in the transmit direction of the optical interface, and at the same time the ALM_ALS alarm is cleared.
Attribute
Alarm Severity Minor Alarm Type Equipment alarm
Parameters
When you view an alarm on the T2000, select the alarm. In the Alarm Details field display the related parameters of the alarm. The alarm parameters are in the following format: Alarm Parameters (hex): parameter1 parameter2...parameterN, for example, Alarm Parameters (hex): 0x01 0x08. For details about each parameter, refer to the following table. Name Parameter 1 Meaning Indicates the optical interface number.
Impact on System
For the optical interface that reports the ALM_ALS alarm, the laser in the transmit direction is shut down, and the services in this direction fail.
Possible Causes
When the ALS function is enabled, an R_LOS alarm occurs in the receive direction of the optical interface.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Confirm the relevant optical interface according to the alarm parameters. Step 2 Confirm whether the ALS function should be enabled for the optical interface. If the ALS function need not be enabled for the optical interface, manually disable the ALS function. In this case, the laser in the transmit direction of the optical interface is automatically turned on, and the ALM_ALS alarm is cleared.

3 Alarm Clearing
Impact on System
The APS_INDI alarm indicates the occurrence of a fiber cut or a terminal node failure, which triggers the MSP switching. For a two-fiber ring MSP or a linear MSP, if a fiber cut or another fault occurs after the occurrence of this alarm, the services are interrupted.
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the APS_INDI alarm are as follows: An external command, including manual switching, forced switching, and exercise switching, is issued. After the R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, B2_EXC, or B2_SD alarm occurs, the MSP group changes to the switching state. The service board is faulty. The cross-connect board is faulty.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 On the T2000, view Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 of this alarm to confirm the type and ID of the protection group in which this alarm is generated. Step 2 Check whether the MSP is in a state of manual switching, forced switching, or lockout of switching. If the MSP is in a switching state, clear the switching and then observe whether the alarm is cleared. Step 3 To check whether the MSP is in the automatic switching state, do as follows: Handle the R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, B2_EXC or B2_SD alarm reported by the equipment. When these alarms are cleared, wait for the MSP switching to be automatically restored to the normal state, and then check whether the APS_INDI alarm is cleared. Make sure that the service board of the MSP is not faulty. Replace the relevant service board and then check whether the alarm is cleared. Make sure that the cross-connect board of the MSP is not faulty. Replace the relevant cross-connect board and then check whether the alarm is cleared. ----End
Related Information
For the 1+1 single-ended non-revertive linear MSP, the APS_INDI alarm is generated when the protection switching occurs. When the optical path returns to normal, the service is not automatically switched back to the working path, and the APS_INDI alarm persists. In this case, manually switch the service from the protection path to the working path. After successful manual switching, the APS_INDI alarm is cleared.

3.5 AU_AIS
Description
The AU_AIS is the administrative unit (AU) alarm indication. When the pointer value received on the receive side of the local optical interface is all "1"s, the AU_AIS alarm is reported.
Attribute
Parameters
When you view an alarm on the T2000, select the alarm. In the Alarm Details field display the related parameters of the alarm. The alarm parameters are in the following format: Alarm Parameters (hex): parameter1 parameter2...parameterN, for example, Alarm Parameters (hex): 0x01 0x08. For details about each parameter, refer to the following table. Name Parameter 1 Parameter 2, Parameter 3 Meaning Indicates the actual optical interface number of the board. Indicates the AU-4 path number. Parameter 2 is the higher byte, and Parameter 3 is the lower byte. For example, Parameter 1 = 0x01, Parameter 2 = 0x00, Parameter 3 = 0x01. In this case, the AU_AIS alarm is reported from AU-4 path 1 of optical interface 1 on the board.
Impact on System
When the AU_AIS alarm occurs, the path-level services are interrupted if the network is not protected. In this case, the AU-AIS alarm occurs at the downstream station.
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the AU_AIS alarm are as follows: A higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_EXC or B2_EXC, occurs in the system. The alarms shown in Table 3-1 occur at the upstream station. The AIS signal is transmitted at the opposite station. The transmit unit (such as cross-connect boards or line boards) at the opposite station is faulty. The receive unit at the local station is faulty.

3 Alarm Clearing
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Check whether any higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_EXC or B2_EXC, is detected on the T2000 at the local station. If yes, take priority to clear it, and then check whether the AU_AIS alarm is cleared. Step 2 If the alarm persists, check whether any alarm shown in Table 3-1 occurs at the upstream station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the AU_AIS alarm is cleared. Step 3 Perform optical interface inloop on the relevant line board at the opposite station. Step 4 After the inloop operation, if the AU_AIS alarm occurs at the opposite station, the AU_AIS alarm at the local station comes from the opposite station. Repeat step 3 to locate the upstream station that first generates and transmits the AU-AIS alarm. Check whether any alarm shown in Table 3-1 occurs on the service source board of the local station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the AU-AIS alarm is cleared at the local station. If the alarm persists, replace the transmit board at the station that first generates the AU_AIS alarm. Step 5 After the inloop operation, if the AU-AIS alarm does not occurs at the opposite station, the receive board at the local station is faulty. In this case, replace the receive board at the local station. ----End

Parameter 2 is the higher byte, and Parameter 3 is the lower byte. For example, Parameter 1 = 0x01, Parameter 2 = 0x00, Parameter 3 = 0x01. In this case, the AU_CMM alarm is reported from AU-4 path 1 of optical interface 1 on the board.
Impact on System
If the configured services are concatenation services and the actually transmitted services are non-concatenation services, performance of paths except path 1 cannot be monitored. The services, however, are not affected. If the configured services are non-concatenation services and the actually transmitted services are concatenation services, the services are interrupted.
Possible Causes
The type of services transmitted from the opposite station is incorrect. The type of services configured at the local station is incorrect. Fibers are incorrectly connected.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 According to the alarm parameters, confirm the optical interface that reports the AU_CMM alarm and the corresponding AU-4 path. Step 2 Check whether the service type configured in the AU-4 path is consistent with the planned service type. If not, reconfigure the services at the local station. Step 3 Modify the type of services transmitted from the upstream, and then check whether the AU_CMM alarm is cleared. Step 4 If the alarm persists, check whether the corresponding fibers are incorrectly connected. ----End

If the SNCP is provided, the AU_LOP alarm triggers the SNCP switching. If the SNCP is not provided, the payload position cannot be determined, and as a result the services are interrupted.
Possible Causes
The local station receives too many bit errors. The transmit part of the opposite station is faulty. The alarmed board itself is faulty. The configuration of services at the local or opposite station is incorrect.

The handling method for the AU_LOP alarm of the OptiX OSN 9500 is different from the handling method for the AU_LOP alarm of the OptiX OSN 1500/2500/3500/7500. Hence, handle the AU_LOP alarms separately for the OptiX OSN 9500 and the OptiX OSN 1500/2500/3500/7500. If the AU_LOP alarm occurs when the equipment runs in the existing network, you need to contact Huawei technical support engineers and report the alarm although you have cleared it by adopting the mentioned methods.

The signal identification overhead (C2 byte) to be received in the higher order path does not match the received signal identification overhead (C2 byte) at the local station. Moreover, the received C2 byte is not 0x00.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Trace back to the upstream station, and find the station at which lower order services are provided for the board. The source board at the station is the source of transmitting the C2 byte, and all the intermediate nodes transmit the C2 byte transparently. In this way, you can find the station from which the value of the C2 byte is received at the local station, and this station is regarded as the termination station. Step 2 Check whether the service types configured at the termination station map the value of the C2 byte to be transmitted. If not, modify the value of the C2 byte to be transmitted, check whether the HP_SLM alarm is cleared. Step 3 Check whether the service types configured at the local station map the value of the C2 byte to be received.

For example, Parameter 1 = 0x01, Parameter 2 = 0x00, Parameter 3 = 0x01. In this case, the HP_UNEQ alarm is reported from AU-4 path 1 of optical interface 1 on the board.
Impact on System
If the AU-AIS alarm is inserted when the HP_UNEQ alarm occurs, the path service is interrupted. Moreover, the HP-RDI alarm is returned to the opposite station.
Possible Causes
No services are configured at the opposite station. No services are configured at the upstream station. The received C2 byte is 0.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the relevant path is configured with services at the opposite station. Step 2 If the relevant path is not configured with services, the opposite station transmits the services that are not loaded. After configuring correct services, check whether the HP_UNEQ alarm is cleared. Step 3 If the opposite station is configured with services, check whether the HP_UNEQ alarm occurs in the relevant path of the upstream station. If yes, the upstream station transparently transmits the services that are not loaded to the local station. In this case, clear the HP_UNEQ alarm at the upstream station. Step 4 If the alarm persists, trace back to the upstream station, and find the station at which lower order services are provided. The source board at the station is the source of transmitting the C2 byte, and all the intermediate nodes transmit the C2 byte transparently. In this way, you can find the station from which the value of the C2 byte is received at the local station, and this station is regarded as the termination station.

3 Alarm Clearing
Impact on System
Every service board of the OptiX OSN 9500 can select its own cross-connect board, clock board, and SCC board. When the SLAVE_BAD alarm occurs, therefore, the active/standby protection of the cross-connect board, clock board, or SCC board is lost. If the alarmed board also reports the MASTER_ERR alarm, and the slot number parameters of the MASTER_ERR and SLAVE_BAD alarms are the same, the services on the alarmed board are interrupted. If the alarmed board does not report the MASTER_ERR alarm, or if the alarmed board does report the MASTER_ERR alarm at the same time but the slot number parameters of the MASTER_ERR and SLAVE_BAD alarms are different, the services are not affected. In this case, the alarmed board only loses the active/standby protection options of the cross-connect boards, clock boards, or SCC boards.
Possible Causes
Bit errors are generated in the signals that the alarmed board receives from the standby cross-connect board. The standby clock board, from which the alarmed board receives signals, has a bad clock quality. The alarmed board detects a fault of the standby SCC board. The alarmed board detects a fault of its own hardware.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Locate the faulty board according to the alarm parameters. Step 2 Replace the faulty board. Step 3 If the SLAVE_BAD alarm persists, contact Huawei technical support engineers. ----End

Impact on System
In case a line board reports the SLAVE_WORKING alarm and the working standby board is an SCC board according to the alarm parameters, the reconfiguration of services might cause bit errors in existing services and even interrupt the existing services. In other cases, the SLAVE_WORKING alarm does not affect services.
Possible Causes
Bit errors are generated in the signals that the alarmed board receives from the active cross-connect board. As a result, the alarmed board selects signals from the standby cross-connect board. The active clock board, from which the alarmed board receives signals, has a bad clock quality. As a result, the alarmed board selects signals from the standby clock board. The alarmed board detects a fault of the active SCC board.
Handling Procedure

Parameters
When you view an alarm on the T2000, select the alarm. In the Alarm Details field display the related parameters of the alarm. The alarm parameters are in the following format: Alarm Parameters (hex): parameter1 parameter2...parameterN, for example, Alarm Parameters (hex): 0x01 0x08. For details about each parameter, refer to the following table. Name Parameter 1 Parameter 2, Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Meaning Indicates the actual optical interface number of the board. Indicates the AU-4 path number. Indicates the number of the VC-3 lower order path. For example, Parameter 1 = 0x01, Parameter 2 = 0x00, Parameter 3 = 0x01, Parameter 4 = 0x01. In this case, the TU_AIS_VC3 alarm is reported from VC-3 lower order path 1 of AU-4 path 1 for optical interface 1 on the board.
Impact on System
When the TU_AIS_VC3 alarm occurs, the VC-3 path services are interrupted.
Possible Causes
Some higher-level alarms, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, HP_SLM or AU_AIS, occur in the system. A hardware fault alarm, such as the PLL_FAIL or CHIP_FAIL, occurs at the upstream station. The cross-connect and timing board is faulty. The relevant path at the opposite station is faulty.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Check whether any higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, HP_SLM or AU_AIS, is detected on the T2000. If yes, take priority to clear it, and then check whether the TU_AIS_VC3 alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, go to the next step. Step 2 Check whether any hardware fault alarm, such as the PLL_FAIL or CHIP_FAIL, occurs at the upstream station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the TU_AIS_VC3 alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, go to the next step. Step 3 Perform a cold reset on the board that reports the alarm. Then check whether the TU_AIS_VC3 alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, go to the next step.
