Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.163 LWBATVG

Note Performing a loopback on an in-service circuit is Service-Affecting (SA). If you did not perform a lockout or Force switch to protect traffic, the LPBKTERMINAL condition can also be accompanied by a more serious alarm such as LOS.

For information about troubleshooting electrical circuits with loopbacks, refer to the “1.2 Identify Points of Failure on an Electrical Circuit Path” section on page 1-3; for optical circuits, refer to the “1.3 Identify Points of Failure on an OC-N Circuit Path” section on page 1-14. Terminal loopbacks are described in the “1.1.2 Terminal Loopback” section on page 1-3.

Clear the LPBKTERMINAL (OCN) Condition

Step 1 Complete the “Clear an OC-N Port Facility or Terminal Loopback Circuit” procedure on page 2-156.

Step 2 If the condition 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).

2.7.163 LWBATVG

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: PWR

The Low Voltage Battery alarm occurs in a –48 VDC environment for an ONS 15310-CL or

ONS 15310-MA when a battery lead input voltage falls below the low power threshold. This threshold has a preset value of –44 VDC and is not user-provisionable. The alarm remains raised until the voltage remains above the threshold for 120 seconds. (For information about changing this threshold, refer to the “Turn Up Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Procedure Guide.)

Clear the LWBATVG Alarm

Step 1 The problem is external to the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA. Troubleshoot the power source supplying the battery leads.

Step 2 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.

2.7.164 MAN-REQ

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: STSMON, VT-MON

The Manual Switch Request condition occurs when a user initiates a Manual switch request on an OC-N port. Clearing the Manual switch clears the MAN-REQ condition. You do not need to clear the switch if you want the manual switch to remain.

ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
