Default Severity: NotAlarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

The Fail to Switch to Protection Path condition occurs when the circuit does not switch from the working
path to the protect path on a path protection. Common causes of the FAILTOSW-PATH condition include
a missing or defective protect port, a lockout set on one of the path protection nodes, or path-level alarms
that would cause a path protection switch to fail including the “AIS-P” condition on page2-19, the
“LOP-P” alarm on page 2-91, the “SD-P” condition on page 2-124, the “SF-P” condition on page 2-126,
and the “UNEQ-P” alarm on page 2-142.
The “LOF (OCN)” alarm on page 2-88, the “LOS (OCN)” alarm on page 2-98, the “SD-L” condition on
page 2-123, or the “SF-L” condition on page 2-126 can also occur on the failed path.

Step1 Look up and clear the higher priority alarm. If the “AIS-P” condition on page2-19, the “LOP-P” alarm
on page 2-91, the “UNEQ-P” alarm on page2-142, the “SF-P” condition on pa ge 2-126, the “SD-P”
condition on page 2-124, the “LOF (OCN)” alarm on page 2-88, the “LOS (OCN)” alarm on page 2-98,
the “SD-L” condition on page2-123, or the “SF-L” condit ion on page 2-126 are also occurring on the

The Partial Fan Failure Speed Control Degradation alarm occurs if fan speed for one of the fans in the
ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA shelf falls under 500 RPM when read by a tachometry counter.
For an ONS15310-CL, this alarm is not user-serviceable. For an ONS 15310-MA, refer to the fan tray
