11.2.1 Alarm Window

Software Releases 7.0 and later have TL1 port-based alarm numbering that identifies an alarmed synchronous transport signal (STS) by its STS on a port rather than the STS on the optical card. The numbering is present in the STS alarm TL1 AID. The numbering scheme is described in Table 11-3.

Table 11-3 TL1 Port-Based Alarm Numbering Scheme

MON Object
(Optical)	Syntax and Examples
OC3/12/48/192	Syntax: STS-<Slot>-<Pim>-<Ppm>-<Port>-<STS>
STS	Ranges: STS-{1-4,11-14}-{1-4}-{1-4}-{1-n1}-{1-n2}
	Example: STS-1-1-1-1-6

1.Port number range varies by card type with a maximum of four.

2.Maximum STS number depends on the rate and size of the STS.

11.2.1Alarm Window

Table 11-4shows the actions you can perform in the Alarms window.

Table 11-4	Alarm Window
Button		Action
Filter		Allows you to change the display on the Alarms window to show only
		alarms that meet a certain severity level, occur in a specified time frame,
		and/or reflect specific conditions. For example, you can set the filter so that
		only Critical alarms appear on the window.
		If you enable the Filter feature by clicking the Filter icon button in one CTC
		view, such as node view, it is enabled in the others as well (card view and
		network view).
Synchronize		Updates the alarm display. Although CTC displays alarms in real time, the
		Synchronize button verifies that CTC and the ONS 15600 agree on current
		alarms. This is particularly useful during provisioning or troubleshooting.
Delete Cleared Alarms		Deletes alarms that have been cleared.
AutoDelete Cleared		If checked, CTC automatically deletes cleared alarms.

11.2.2 Alarm-Affected Circuits

You can determine which ONS 15600 circuits are affected by a specific alarm by positioning the cursor over the alarm in the Alarm window and right-clicking. A shortcut menu appears (Figure 11-2).
