2.7.7 APSB
Default Severity: Minor(MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
SONET Logical Object: OCN
The APS Channel Byte Failure alarm occurs when LTE detects protection switching byte failure or an
invalid switching code in the incoming APS signal. Some older SONET nodes not manufactured by
Cisco send invalid APS codes if they are configured in a 1+1 protection group with newer SONET nodes,
such as the ONS 15310-CL and ONS15310-MA. These invalid codes cause an APSB alarm on the
ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA.

Clear the APSB Alarm

Step1 Use an optical test set to examine the incoming SONET overhead to confirm inconsistent or invalid
K bytes. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer. If corrupted
K bytes are confirmed and the upstream equipment is functioning properly, the upstream equipment
might not interoperate effectively with the ONS15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA.
Step2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call CiscoTAC (1-800-553-2447).
