Step 6 If the reporting traffic card is the active card in the protection group, complete the “Initiate an

ONS 15310-MA 1:1 Card Switch Command” procedure on page 2-150. After you move traffic off the active card, or if the reporting card is standby, continue with the following steps.

Step 7 Complete the “Soft- or Hard-Reset an Ethernet or Electrical Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-153for the reporting card.

Caution Avoid soft-resetting multiple ONS 15310-MA cards at one time; doing so might cause an unexpected traffic hit.

For the LED behavior, see the “2.9.2 Typical Card LED Activity During Reset” section on page 2-147.

Step 8 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. A green

ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card.

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear, complete the “Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) a Card” procedure on page 2-154procedure for the standby Ethernet card.

Step 10 Complete the “Initiate an ONS 15310-MA 1:1 Card Switch Command” procedure on page 2-150to switch traffic back.

Step 11 If the alarm does not clear, complete the “Physically Replace a Card” section on page 2-154procedure for the reporting traffic card.

Step 12 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.45 CTNEQPT-PBWORK

Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: EQPT

The Interconnection Equipment Failure Working 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card Payload Bus alarm indicates a failure in the main payload bus between the 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card and the reporting Ethernet card. The controller card and the Ethernet or electrical card are no longer communicating.

Clear the CTNEQPT-PBWORK Alarm

Step 1 If the alarm is reported against the 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card, go to Step 4. If the Ethernet or electrical traffic card shows the CTNEEQPT-PBWORK alarm, complete the “Soft- or Hard-Reset an Ethernet or Electrical Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-153for the card.

Step 2 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. A green ACT LED indicates an active card.

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, complete the “Physically Replace a Card” procedure on page 2-154.

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA.
