Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.214 SSM-OFF

Clear the SSM-FAIL Alarm

Step 1 Verify that SSM is enabled on the external timing source.

Step 2 If timing is enabled, use an optical test set to determine that the external timing source is delivering SSM. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

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

Step 3 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).

2.7.214 SSM-OFF

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

SONET Logical Objects: BITS, DS1, OCN

The SSM Off condition applies to references used for timing the node. It occurs when the SSM for the reference has been turned off. The condition is raised when the ONS system is set up to receive SSM, but the timing source is not delivering SSM messages.

Clear the SSM-OFF Condition

Step 1 Complete the “Clear the SSM-FAIL Alarm” procedure on page 2-130.

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).

2.7.215 SSM-PRS

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

SONET Logical Objects: BITS, DS1, NE-SREF, OCN

The SSM Primary Reference Source (PRS) Traceable condition occurs when the SSM transmission level is changed to Stratum 1 Traceable.

Note SSM-PRS is an informational condition. It does not require troubleshooting.

2.7.216 SSM-RES

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

SONET Logical Objects: BITS, DS1, NE-SREF, OCN
