A.5 Probable Cause Mapping

A.5.1 TMF-Defined Probable Cause

	The following report lists the probable causes defined by the TMF:
	"UNIDENTIFIED": for alarms that do not match any other string below. EMS shall in this
	case fill out the additional text field as much as possible.
	"AIS": alarm indication signal
	"AMS": Alternate modulation signal
	"AU-AIS": AU alarm indication signal
	"BER_SD": signal degrade (includes receiver degrade)
	"BER_SF": signal fail (includes receiver failure and excessive BER)
	"DCC_FAILURE": Data Communication Channel Failure
	"EMS": EMS system alarm
	"EMS_ALM_LOSS": The 1st notification that the EMS may supply after 1 or more notifications
	for protection switch, TCA, alarm, or file transfer status have been discarded by the EMS
	while other events have not been discarded
	"EMS_LIFECYCLE_LOSS": The 1st notification that an EMS may supply after 1 or more events
	of type OC/OD/AVC/SC/RC have been discarded by the EMS
	"EMS_ALM_AND_LIFECYCLE_LOSS": The 1st notification that an EMS may supply after 1 or more
	notifications for protection switch, TCA, alarm, or file transfer status, and 1 or more
	events of type OC/OD/AVC/SC/RC have been discarded by the EMS
	"EQPT": equipment alarm
	"ENV": Environmental/external cause
	"FOP_APS": failure of APS protocol
	"LCD": Loss of Cell Delineation (from TC Adaptor part of ATM NI)
	"LOF": loss of frame (when distinguished from LOS)
	"LOM": loss of multiframe (SDH only, since not an alarm in GR-253)
	"LOP": loss of pointer
	"LOS": loss of signal
	"MS-AIS": MS alarm indication signal
	"OSC-AIS": Optical Supervisory Channel alarm indication signal
	"OSC_BER_SF": Optical Supervisory Channel signal fail/RX fail/excessive BER
	"OSC_FERF": Optical Supervisory Channel Far End Receive Failure
	"OSC_LOF": Optical Supervisory Channel Loss of Frame
	"OSC_LOS": Optical Supervisory Channel Loss of Signal
	"OSC_SD": Optical Supervisory Channel signal degrade
	"PLM": payload label mismatch (when reported as an alarm)
	"RAI": remote alarm indication (sometimes reported as RDI)
	"SECURITY_VIOLATION": security violation
	"SSF": server signal fail
	"TCM-AIS": Tandem Connection Sink - Incoming Alarm Indication Signal
	"TCM-LOS": Tandem Connection Sink - Loss of Tandem Connection Signal
	"TCM-OAI": Tandem Connection Sink - Outgoing Defect Indication (same/similar to Alarm
	Indication)
	"TCM-RAI": Tandem Connection Sink - Remote Defect Indication (same/similar to Alarm
	Indication)
	"TCM-SD": Tandem Connection Sink - Signal Degrade
	"TCM-SSF": Tandem Connection Sink - Server Signal Fail
	"TCM-TIM": Connection Sink - Trace Identifier Mismatch
	"TCM-UNEQ": Tandem Connection Sink - Unequipped
	"TIM": trace identifier mismatch (when reported as an alarm)
	"TU-AIS": TU alarm indication signal
	"TX_DEGRADE": transmitter degrade, including laser degrade
	"TX_FAIL": transmitter failure, including laser failure
	"UAT": Unavailable Time
	"UNEQ": payload unequipped
	"VC-AIS": VCL/VCC TP Alarm Indication Signal
	"VC-RDI": VCL/VCC TP Remote Defect Indication
	"VP-AIS": VPL/VPC TP Alarm Indication Signal
