2.7.193 RFI-V
2.7.193 RFI-V
Default Severity: NotReported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
SONET Logical Objects: VT-MON, VT-TERM
An RFI VT Layer condition occurs when the ONS15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA detects an RFI in the
SONET overhead because of a fault in another node. Resolving the fault in the adjoining node clears the
RFI-V condition in the reporting node. RFI-V indicates that an upstream failure has occurred at the VT
layer.

Clear the RFI-V Condition

Step1 Verify that the fiber connectors are securely fastened and connected to the correct slot. For more
information, refer to the “Install Hardware” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and
Cisco ONS 15310-MA Procedure Guide.
Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS15310-CL
or ONS 15310-MA.
Step2 If connectors are correctly connected, verify that the port is active and in service (IS-NR) by completing
the following steps:
a. Confirm that the green ACT LED is on.
b. Double-click the 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card in CTC to display the card view.
c. Click the Provisioning > Optical > Line tabs.
d. Verify that the Admin State column lists the port as IS.
e. If the Admin State column lists the port as OOS,MT or OOS,DSBLD, click the column and choose
IS. Click Apply.
Note If ports managed into IS administrative state are not receiving signals, the LOS alarm is
either raised or remains, and the port service state transitions to OOS-AU,FLT.
Step3 If the ports are active and in service, use an optical test set to verify that the signal source does not have
errors. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.
Step4 If the signal is valid, log into the node at the far-end of the reporting ONS15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA.
Step5 Clear alarms in the far-end node, especially the “UNEQ-P” alarm on page2-142 or the “UNEQ-V” alarm
on page 2-144.
Step6 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).
