State management

1.1  Entity management


The state of a managed entity represents the current condition of availability of the resource or
service in the network element. It is important for the BTI 7000 Series to manage and report on
the state of various system components.
The purpose of a state model is to indicate the availability of an entity in providing its functions,
and if an entity is not available, to indicate the cause of the unavailability and what kind of
activity can be taken by the operator to make the entity available.
For example the operator can choose to take an optical amplifier out of service. In this case, the
optical amplifier reports that it is in the out-of-service state due to a maintenance action. In other
cases, the amplifier might be out of service due to a fault.

1-2 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
State management

1.2  Telcordia state model


The Telcordia state model is used for network element state management when TL1 is used as a
management interface. The BTI 7000 Series employs the Telcordia state model as defined in
GR-1093-CORE Generic State Requirements for Network Elements’ to provide a simple
mapping.

1.2.7  Protection Switching Group Transition Table

The protection switching state transition table is based on the assumption that there are two SFP
transceiver ports, A and B, where B is protecting A. The following command is assumed to have
provisioned the protection switching group:
ENT-FFP-XCVR:BTI7000:WR-1-2-1,WR-1-2-3:::;
The following table describes the state transitions of both A and B due to various events. In each
state row, the top state is for A whereas the bottom state is for B. The event columns indicate the
following:

1.3  Telcordia state attributes

The Telcordia state model is based on the concept of the service condition of an entity. In the
model, the state information of an entity is represented by the following attributes:
Primary State (PST)—This attribute indicates the overall service condition of the entity. The
service condition can be either in service (IS) or out of service (OOS).
Primary State Qualifier (PSTQ)—This attribute qualifies the PST. If the entity is in service,
the PSTQ indicates whether it is totally or partially in service. If the entity is out of service, the
PSTQ indicates whether this is due to an external management command or is determined by the
network element based on an internal event or situation.
Secondary State (SST) attributes—This parameter provides additional information pertaining
to the PST and PSTQ.

1.3.1  PST and PSTQ values

The following table lists the PST and PSTQ values that the system can use.
Table 1-15 Primary state and primary state qualifier values

Value Description
IS-NR In service, normal
IS-ANR In service, abnormal
OOS-AU Out of service, autonomous
OOS-MA Out of service, management
OOS-MAANR Out of service, management and abnormal
OOS-AUMA Out of service, autonomous and management

1.3.2  IS — In service

The entity is available for providing its provisioned functions. That is, the entity is operationally
capable and at the same time administratively allowed to provide its provisioned functions.
If the entity is partially available for providing its provisioned functions, whether partially
capable, partially allowed, or both, it is still considered to be in service. However, the fact that it
is partially available is qualified by a value of the PSTQ parameter.
For a usage-sensitive entity, as long as the entity is available for providing its provisioned
functions, whether it is currently in use or not, it is still considered in service.

1-24 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
State management

1.3.3  OOS — Out of service

The entity is not available for providing any of its provisioned functions. The PSTQ parameter
will qualify the unavailability of the entity. That is, whether it is operationally incapable or
administratively inhibited from providing its provisioned functions, or both.

1.3.4  NR — Normal

This value implies that the entity is normally in service. That is, it is capable and allowed to
provide all of its provisioned functions.
While the entity is in this state, updates of provisioning data and maintenance activity that affect
service are not permitted. Physical actions (such as, unplugging a circuit pack) performed in this
state can generate alarms. Fault detection continues in this state.

1.3.5  ANR — Abnormal

The entity is allowed to perform all of its provisioned functions, but it is capable of performing
only part of (but not none of) these functions, or of performing these functions at a degraded
level.
While the entity is in this state, updates of provisioning data and maintenance activities that
affect service are not permitted. Physical actions (such as unplugging a circuit pack) performed
in this state can generate alarms. Fault detection is continued to determine if the operational
problem has been corrected. Before a maintenance activity to cure the operational problem can
be performed, the entity must be explicitly removed from service by using the REMOVE or
EDIT commands (the entity transitions into the MAANR state that is discussed later). Otherwise,
the maintenance activity can trigger unnecessary notifications.

1.3.6  AU — Autonomous

The entity is incapable of performing any of its provisioned functions, and there is no external
administrative restriction inhibiting the entity from performing these functions.
In general, the cause of incapability is an unsolicited event occurrence on the NE or in the
associated network. Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, a defect developed
in the entity, or its supporting entity is OOS. The transition between “PST=IS” and “PST=OOS,
PSTQ=AU” is determined by the NE, based on the event that occurred in the entity (or in the
entity’s supporting entity). Such a transition should not be achieved by simply applying a state
change command to the entity.
While the entity is in this state, updates of provisioning data and maintenance activities are not
permitted. Physical actions (such as unplugging a circuit pack) performed in this state can
generate an alarm. Fault detection continues to determine if the operational problem has been
corrected or whether additional operational problems have occurred. Before maintenance
activities to cure the operational problem can be performed, the entity should be explicitly
removed from service by using the REMOVE or EDIT commands (the entity transitions into the

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 1-25


State management

AUMA state that is discussed later). Otherwise, the maintenance activity can trigger unnecessary
notifications.

1.3.7  MA — Management

The entity is intentionally suspended by the external management command from performing all
of its provisioned functions. In this state, the entity itself is still operationally capable of, even
though it is currently being suspended from performing its provisioned functions. Such
suspension is temporary in nature. Otherwise, the permanent suspended functions should be
excluded from the domain of the entity’s provisioned functions.
It should be noted that if some functions are not included in the provisioned functions of the
entity, then any change of operational capability of the non-provisioned functions should be
outside the scope of the state of the entity. For example, if a bidirectional termination point is
provisioned for receiving only, then any change to its operational capability regarding transmit
should not be reflected in the state of this termination point. That is, the termination point
behaves like a receive-only termination point and shows the state information that is relevant to
receive only.
The “PST=OOS, PSTQ=MA” state is also called “Manual Out-Of-Service”. In other words, the
transition between “PST=IS” and “PST=OOS, PSTQ=MA” is caused by a management
command external to the NE (for example, by a command from an OS or a craft directed to the
entity). Examples of such a command are the TL1 commands REMOVE, RESTORE, and EDIT.
When equipment is put into the OOS&MA state, alarms against the equipment are not raised.

1.3.8  MAANR — Management and abnormal

The entity is operationally capable of performing only part of its provisioned functions or at a
degraded level, and at the same time is intentionally suspended from performing all of its
provisioned functions.
To transition from “PST=OOS, PSTQ=MAANR” to the in-service state, the cause of “being
intentionally suspended” is released completely (that is, it transitions to “PST=IS,
PSTQ=ANR”). The transition from “PST=OOS, PSTQ=MAANR” to “PST=IS, PSTQ=ANR” is
done by editing the service from OOS to IS.
When equipment is put into the OOS&MAANR state, alarms against the equipment are not
raised.

1.3.9  AUMA — Autonomous and management

The entity is incapable of performing any of its provisioned functions, and at the same time has
been intentionally suspended from performing all of its provisioned functions.
To transition from “PST=OOS, PSTQ=AUMA” to the in-service state, both the causes of “being
operationally incapable” and of “being intentionally suspended” must be corrected (either
completely or partially).

1-26 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
State management

While the entity is in this state, updates of provisioning data and maintenance activities are
permitted. Physical actions (such as unplugging a circuit pack) performed in this state do not
generate alarms. Fault detection continues to determine if an operational problem has been
corrected or an additional operational problem has occurred.

1.3.10  SST values

This parameter provides additional information, called secondary state (SST) values, pertaining
to the PST and PSTQ. For example, it can indicate the type and/or reason of the external
command, or the event that occurred in the NE. Multiple SST values can be applied to an entity
at any given moment.
The following table lists the SST values that the system can use.
Table 1-16 Secondary state values

Value Description
AINS Automatic in service
COMM Communication error
FLT Fault
FRCD Forced
LKDO Locked out
LPBK Loopback
MEA Mismatch of equipment and attributes
MT Maintenance
PWR Loss of shelf power
SGEO Supporting entity outage
STDBY Standby
SWDL Software download
UEQ Unequipped
WRK Working

1.3.11  AINS — Automatic in service

The entity is in a delay transition (to IS) state. The transition to IS is pending on the correction of
off-normal conditions on the entity (such as, UEQ for equipment). Alarms and threshold crossing
alerts (TCA) are not generated for the entity if AINS is present. Once the off-normal conditions
clear, the entity transitions to IS according to the autonomous rules of the OOS-AU state.
When the ENT command is used to provision an entity, if the requested state in the command is
IS and the required resource is not present (such as circuit pack is not present for the equipment,
or valid signal is not present for the termination point), then the entity enters the OOS-AU,AINS
state and alarms are not generated.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 1-27


State management

1.3.12  COMM — Communication error

The entity is OOS because the SCP cannot communicate with the affected circuit pack, SFP, or
XFP.

1.3.13  FLT — Fault

The entity is OOS because of a hardware fault.

1.3.14  FRCD — Forced

The entity is FRCD because a user-invoked FRCD protection switch was applied to the entity.

1.3.15  LKDO — Locked out

The entity is LKDO because a user-invoked LKDO protection switch was applied to the entity.

1.3.16  LPBK — Loopback

The entity is LPBK because the equipment is in the loopback test mode.

1.3.17  MEA — Mismatch of equipment and attributes


The equipment provisioned is different from the equipment that is inserted. The system compares
the provisioned product equipment code (PEC) to the inserted equipment PEC.
For SFP and XFP transceivers, the system checks the provisioned protocol bit rate and the
provisioned wavelength against the actual SFP transceiver that is inserted into the circuit pack.

1.3.18  MT — Maintenance

The entity has been manually removed from service for maintenance activity. This value must be
accompanied with the PSTQ value MA or AUMA.

1.3.19  SGEO — Supporting entity outage

The associated facility is in an outage state because its supporting entity is in an out-of-service
state due to equipment missing, an equipment mismatch, or an equipment failure. The SGEO
value is for qualifying the OOS-AU state of an entity when its supporting entity is OOS-AU,
OOS-MA, or OOS-AUMA.

1-28 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
State management

1.3.20  STDBY — Standby

The entity is in standby because it backs up another entity and it is synchronized with the backed
up entity. An entity in STDBY can immediately take over the role of the backed up entity
without the need for initialization activity. This is conditional on the absence of other faults and
the current switching state associated with the entity. This state is only applicable when
protection switching is provisioned.

1.3.21  SWDL — Software download

The associated entity is in a software download process.

1.3.22  UEQ — Unequipped

The equipment entity is not equipped with the necessary hardware. This value is used for
clarifying the PSTQ value AU.

1.3.23  WRK — Working

The entity is working because it is currently the active entity in a redundant object pair. This
state is only applicable when protection switching is provisioned.

State management

1.5  State management behavior interactions

When equipment is taken out of service, any subordinate entities must be in the out-of-service
state as a prerequisite. Any state change attempted by the operator when this prerequisite is not
satisfied will result in a command failure.

1-34 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
State management

1.6  State management provisioning interactions

Certain provisioning operations can cause an interruption in service. For example, the ability to
turn off the laser in an amplifier is an important safety feature. However, if performed by
mistake, this operation potentially places terabits of data at risk of an outage.
If potential service-affecting changes are attempted while the affected component is providing
service, then the provisioning request is rejected with an error.
For further information, see 1.2, “Telcordia state model” in this document.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 1-35


State management

1.7  State change reporting

Whenever the state of an entity changes, the change is reported autonomously through all active
management interfaces. Some state changes are initiated by the operator, while others are caused
by system faults or network conditions.

Example

1-36 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
State management

1.8  Supporting and supported physical entities

BTI 7000 Series modules have a supporting/supported relationship with the devices that reside
on them. In this relationship, the supported entity’s operational capability is affected by the
service availability of the supporting entity. That is, the state of the supported entity is affected
by the state of the supporting entity. However, the state of the supporting entity is not affected by
the state of the supported entity.
An example of this relationship is an optical amplifier and its supporting equipment. If the
supporting equipment is out of service, the supported optical amplifier is out of service
autonomously. In this case, the secondary state of the optical amplifier indicates “supporting
entity outage” (that is, SST=SGEO).
As a result, if a module goes out of service, all devices present on it autonomously transition to
the out-of-service state with the SGEO secondary state qualifier.
For more information about the Telcordia state model, see 1.2, “Telcordia state model”.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 1-37


State management

1.9  Fault reporting interactions

When an entity is placed in the OOS-MA state, updates of provisioning data and maintenance
activities are permitted. Fault detection continues in this state but does not generate any alarms.
An alarm is generated if the system is in service. Otherwise, faults are reported as conditions that
can be retrieved.
The primary state of the entity determines, in part, the alarm forwarding characteristics when
conditions are raised against the entity. If the entity is in service, then a condition might be raised
as an alarm. If the entity is in service and goes out of service, then any active alarms are cleared.
If the entity is out of service and goes in service, then any active conditions are raised as alarms.

2.0  Clearing alarms


This chapter explains the BTI 7000 Series events, conditions, alarms and how to clear alarms,
and is organized as follows:
•  2.1, “Events, conditions and alarms”

• 2.2, “Alarms ”
With no audible alarm present, press the alarm cutoff/lamp test button continuously to turn all of
the management shelf interface (MSI) LEDs on and all of the circuit pack LEDs on. If an LED
does not turn on, the LED needs to be replaced.
Failure of either the MSI or SCP circuit packs disables the alarm cutoff/lamp test button.
Important If you are unsure about whether an LED is actually working, use the alarm cutoff/
lamp test button to check if the LED is functioning correctly.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 2-1


Clearing alarms

2.1  Events, conditions and alarms


2.1.1  Events
An event is an autonomous message that is reported from a network element across its
management interfaces. An event can indicate status, a periodic report of information, or
asynchronous command completion information. There are no raise or clear semantics associated
with events.
The information that is typically reported with an event includes the AID of the entity reporting
the event, the event type, whether the event is service affecting, the date and time of the event
and a text description of the event being reported.
General events are reported using the REPT-EVT message as well as other specific autonomous
messages. The common types of autonomous events issued by the BTI 7000 Series include
•  Database change events contain all provisioning change events
•  State change events contain the other events not included in the database changes category,
including removals from service and restores to service
•  Circuit pack insertion and removal events

• Threshold crossing alerts for SFP and XFP transceivers
These event messages are used to keep the operator informed of the state of the system and are
also used by the proNX 900 Node Controller to remain synchronized with the system.

2.1.2  Conditions
When a fault is detected on a network element (NE) and continues to exist for a minimum time
period, it raises a fault condition, to indicate whether or not this particular fault currently exists
on the NE. When the fault is resolved, the fault condition is cleared--removed from the system.
Using SNMP, the following conditions can be modified to provision a severity level to minor,
major or critical, or back to not alarmed:
Table 2-1 Conditions that can be modified

Acronym Name
AIS-L-OCN OCn Line Alarm Indication Signal
AIS-L-PVX PVX Line Alarm Indication Signal
AIS-L_XCVR XCVR Line Alarm Indication Signal
AIS-P-STSN STS Path Alarm Indication Signal
BDI-PVX PVX Backward Defect Indicator
RFI-XCVR XCVR Remote Fault Indication
RPF-FC FC Remote Path Failure
RPF-GE GE Remote Path Failure
OTUTTI-PVX PVX OTU trail trace mismatch

If the severity level is provisioned, a change of state for the provisioned conditioon includes a
corresponding, autonomous message, indicating the raise or clear of the condition.

2-2 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Clearing alarms

2.1.3  Alarms
Depending on the state of the system or equipment at the time, fault conditions can be reported
as alarms. (For additional information, see 2.1.11, “Alarm codes” and 2.1.10, “Alarm masking
and alarm hierarchy” in this document.) An alarm is an autonomous message that corresponds to
the act of raising and clearing the underlying fault condition.
If equipment is in-service or out-of-service autonomous, then any fault conditions pertaining to
that equipment are reported autonomously as alarms. Each alarm is sent with the AID of the
entity that has the alarmed condition, the notification code of the alarmed condition (one of
critical, major or minor), the condition type, whether the alarmed condition is service affecting or
not, the date and time when the alarmed condition was raised and a text description of the
alarmed condition. A list of the active alarms can also be retrieved by the TL1 command RTRV-
ALM.
If equipment is out-of-service maintenance, then autonomous alarm reporting is suppressed for
the entity. If the entity transitions from in-service to out-of-service maintenance, then any raised
alarms are cleared. However, in both cases, the conditions still exist and can be retrieved by the
TL1 command RTRV-COND. Each condition is listed with the AID of the entity that has the
condition, the notification code of the condition (that is, critical, major or minor), the condition
type, whether the condition is service affecting or not, the date and time when the condition
occurred and a text description of the condition.

2.1.4  Alarm severity codes


Alarms codes indicate the severity of an alarm. Table 2-2 lists the valid values for alarm codes in
decreasing order of severity of those being reported.
Table 2-2 Alarm Code Severity

Alarm Code Description
“*C” Critical alarm is a severe, service affecting condition that requires
immediate corrective action.
“**” Major alarm is a serious disruption of service, malfunctioning or failure of
important circuits that usually is not service affecting.
“* “ Minor alarm is for troubles that do not have a serious effect on service to
customers or that indicate troubles in circuits that are not essential to
network element operation.

2.1.5  Configuring alarm severity


Alarm severities can be modified from the default value by specifying the condition type and
changing the notification code using the TL1 command SET-ATTR-ALL. The notification codes
are:
•  CR: Critical
•  MN: Minor
•  MJ: Major
•  NA: Not alarmed (default)

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 2-3


Clearing alarms

For example, an LOS alarm raised against a transceiver is set by default to critical (CR). To
change the severity to Major, specify the condition type of LOS, and change the notification
code to MJ.
This guide lists the default settings for the alarms. To reset all alarm severities to the default
setting, specify a condition type of ALL in the TL1 command SET-ATTR-ALL.

2.1.6  Alarm thresholds


The BTI 7000 Series supports the ability to set the threshold value (for example, the case
temperature threshold) at which an alarm is raised. All EDFA optical amplifiers are shipped with
default thresholds that can be modified.

2.1.7  Setting thresholds


Thresholds are set when provisioning the optical amplifiers.
For detailed information on the range of values and the default value for all thresholds, see the
Solutions Guide for the equipment with which you working.
The following figure shows a generic example of typical thresholds for a monitored value and
how the normal operating range is within the designated thresholds.
Figure 2-1 Example of Typical Alarm Thresholds

In addition, threshold crossing alerts (TCA) can be set for SFP and XFP transceivers. For further
information about TCAs, see the Solutions Guide for the equipment with which you working..

2.1.8  Autoshutdown
Autoshutdown of the optical amplifiers occurs when a preset shutdown threshold has been
exceeded. The shutdown thresholds are set at the factory and are not configurable by the system
operator. By default, autoshutdown is always on.

2-4 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Clearing alarms

2.1.9  Laser on/off


Pump lasers are normally on all of the time. However, on the detection of excessive input signal
power (that is, the signal power is greater than the maximum shutdown threshold), the pump
lasers power down in three seconds.

2.1.10  Alarm masking and alarm hierarchy


Alarm masking occurs when an alarm with a high priority level takes precedence over an alarm
of less importance. The purpose of establishing an alarm hierarchy is to draw the operator’s
attention to the most serious alarm condition.
Any alarm that resides above another alarm can mask a lower level alarm.
Clearing a higher level alarm can solve the lower level alarm. However, it is possible for lower
level alarms to become unmasked after a higher level alarm is cleared. As a result, the operator
then needs to clear any lower level alarms that appear.

Maintenance state alarm masking


When a unit is placed in the out-of-service maintenance state, all alarms at that level and below
are masked for the unit that is out-of-service. As a result, alarms can exist for out-of-service units
but they are not flagged as being active since the unit is out-of-service. Instead the alarms are
reported as conditions.
Once a unit is brought back into service, existing alarms are unmasked and are identified as such.

2.1.11  Alarm codes


The following table lists the alarm codes, a brief description, directions to alarm clearing
procedures, alarm severity level, whether the alarm is service affecting, and whether equipment
or amplifiers are affected.

2.2  Alarms
This section describes the alarms and clearing procedures for the BTI 7000 Series.

2.2.1  AIS-O (Alarm Indication Signal, Optical Level)


Problem Description
The far-end NE has signaled the local NE that the signal payload for the indicated wavelength
channel is in a failed state and has not been transmitted within the WDM composite signal.
This fault applies to ROADM Terminal,Line Equalizing Node and ROADM Node
configurations and only to channels on the Line port of the ROB module.

LED behavior for BTI 7060/BTI 7200

Shelf LEDs System LEDs


Location Trouble Power Critical Major Minor
MSI ON ON OFF OFF OFF

LED behavior
There is no Fault LED for WCH alarms on the Line port.

Impact
Not reported. The upstream NE has a critical channel alarm, and service is affected on that
channel.

Affected AIDs
ROB-(1,11,21,31)-(1,3,5...19)-(L1)
Note Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture ports of various optical
circuit packs when no fiber cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare
into open apertures to avoid permanent eye damage.
Caution Failure to reroute traffic can result in lost data. Select an alternate route for the
traffic that passes through the optical amplifier, SFP transceiver, or mux/demux.
Transfer traffic to this alternate route before proceeding with this procedure.
Use an ESD wrist strap whenever you open the equipment, particularly when you
are handling circuit packs as well as SFP and XFP transceivers. To work
properly, the wrist strap must make good contact at both ends (that is, with your
Caution
skin at one end and with the chassis at the other).

2.2.1.1  Clearing an AIS-O alarm indication signal, optical level alarm


Use this procedure to clear an AIS-O alarm.

2-32 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Clearing alarms


Step 1 Look for and clear all "LOLIGHT-RX" alarms against wavelengths channels on
upstream NEs.


Step 2 Ensure that all fibers are correctly connected.


Step 3 Check for excessive loss on the receive span fiber. Check and clean all upstream fiber
connections.
•  If the alarm clears, you have completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.

2.2.2  APSD (Automatic Power Shutdown)


Problem Description
The transmitting amplifier has been automatically shutdown. A LOLIGHT-RX alarm is active
against both the OSC and the WDM composite signal. The far-end NE has signaled the local NE
to transition to APSD state.

Step 1 Check the PM OPR value for the Line port on the alarmed module. Using the proNX
900, right-click on the alarmed port, and choose View Port PM.
The PM Statistics window is displayed, in which you can view the port's PMs.


Step 2 Check for and resolve the following possible problems:
•  A LOLIGHT-RX alarm is active against both the OSC and the WDM, possibly
caused by Line fiber disconnect or fiber cut.
•  The far-end NE has signaled the local NE to transition to the APSD state.


Step 3 Check and clean the upstream fiber connections.
•  If the alarm clears, you have completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.

2.2.3  AMPCOND (Amplifier Conditioning)


Problem Description
There is an amplifier conditioning alarm.
When an amplifier is initially plugged in, the thermo-electric coolers (TEC) work to control the
pump laser temperature to between 16o and 34o C. Until the pump laser temperature is within
range, the amplifier conditioning alarm is present.
If the amplifier conditioning alarm persists for more than 15 minutes, the alarm is cleared and a
T-LTEMP-LTS or T-LTEMP-HTS alarm is raised.

•  If the alarm clears, you have successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.

2.2.4  BDI (Backward Defect Indication)


Problem Description
This alarm applies to ROB, DLA, and TPR modules.
For ROB and DLA modules, the far-end NE has signaled the local NE that a downstream APSD
condition is active and as a result, no WDM composite signal is being transmitted to the local NE.
For TPR modules, the far-end NE has signaled the local NE that a signal fail status was detected
by the far-end NE in its upstream direction.

Clearing alarms

Caution Failure to reroute traffic can result in lost data. Select an alternate route for the
traffic that passes through the optical amplifier, SFP transceiver, or mux/demux.
Transfer traffic to this alternate route before proceeding with this procedure.
Use an ESD wrist strap whenever you open the equipment, particularly when you
are handling circuit packs as well as SFP and XFP transceivers. To work
properly, the wrist strap must make good contact at both ends (that is, with your
Caution
skin at one end and with the chassis at the other).

2.2.4.1  Clearing a BDI backward defect indication alarm


Use this procedure to clear a BDI alarm for ROB and DLA modules.


Step 1 Check for and resolve all “LOLIGHT-RX” alarms on downstream Line ports on the
DLA or ROB modules.


Step 2 Check for and resolve the following:
•  A downstream NE within the same equalization section as the local NE has detected
a WDM composite signal “LOLIGHT-RX” alarm and an OSC “LOLIGHT-RX”
alarm on its line port, and has initiated an APSD. The detected “LOLIGHT-RX”
alarms are in the direction of the local NE that raised the BDI fault.


Step 3 Check for a possible fiber break in the downstream Line fiber span.
A break in the input fiber cable can cause a loss of signal. Contact your next level of
support to determine if there is a break in the fiber span.


Step 4 Check and clean all upstream fiber connections.
•  If the alarm clears, you have completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.

2.2.5  BWMISM (Bandwidth Mismatch)

properly, the wrist strap must make good contact at both ends (that is, with your
Caution
skin at one end and with the chassis at the other).

2.2.6.1  Clearing a CHNDFC channel count deficiency alarm


Use this procedure to clear a CHNDFC alarm.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 2-39


Clearing alarms


Step 1 Check the PM Span Loss value for the Line port on the alarmed module. Using the
proNX 900, right-click on the alarmed port, and choose View Port PM.
The PM Statistics window is displayed, in which you can view the port's PMs.


Step 2 Check the number of channels provisioned at each end of the span. Perform the
following steps at each end of the span. The number of channels counted for this fault is
the number of received channels actually present on the receive fiber, and not the
number of locally provisioned channels.
  a) In the proNX 900, click the Optical Layer icon.
  b) In the hierarchy window, right-click on the Group, and choose Provision Cross
Connects.
The Optical Cross Connects window is displayed.
  c) Using the Optical Cross Connects windows, compare the optical cross connects at
both ends of the span to determine if there are inconsistencies with the number of
provisioned cross connects, or with the channels that have been provisioned. Resolve
any problems that you find.


Step 3 Check for and resolve all upstream alarms on Client In ports.


Step 4 Check for and resolve all other channel-related alarms on this span.


Step 5 Check for and resolve the following possible problems:
•  The span loss of the Line port receive fiber has reached the specification maximum.
A minimum number of lit channels must be present on the receive fiber to ensure that
stable optical control can be maintained.
•  The minimum channel count requirement is enforced for a span loss that exceeds
30dB.
•  For a span loss between 30-33dB, the minimum number of channels is 2.
•  For a span loss between 33-34dB, the minimum number of channels is 3.
•  For a span loss between 34-35dB, the minimum number of channels is 4.
•  Beyond 35dB, the Channel Count Deficiency alarm no longer applies as the
LOSPEC-RX (Received Loss Out of Specification) alarm takes precedence at that
span loss level.
Consult your network engineering group to determine the minimum channel count
required for the span loss.

2.2.7  CNXMEA (Connection Mismatch)


Problem Description

circuit packs when no fiber cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare
into open apertures to avoid permanent eye damage.
Caution Failure to reroute traffic can result in lost data. Select an alternate route for the
traffic that passes through the optical amplifier, SFP transceiver, or mux/demux.
Transfer traffic to this alternate route before proceeding with this procedure.
Use an ESD wrist strap whenever you open the equipment, particularly when you
are handling circuit packs as well as SFP and XFP transceivers. To work

2.2.26.1  Clearing a FEIM far-end node identification mismatch alarm


Use this procedure to clear a FEIM alarm.


Step 1 Retrieve the far-end node attributes of the OSC entity that raised the FEIM alarm. Refer
to the topic "Validate fiber connections" in the BTI 7000 Series Dynamic Optical Layer
Engineer Guidelines, or in the online help for the proNX 900 Node Controller.


Step 2 Compare each of the following pairs of attributes:
•  Expected and Actual Far End System Identifier
•  Expected and Actual Far End NMS IP Address
•  Expected and Actual Far End Group Number
•  Expected and Actual Far End Degree Number


Step 3 For any of the above-listed pair of values, if the expected value is not correct, and, the
actual value is the correct value, modify the expected value to match the actual value.
This procedure clears the alarm.


Step 4 If any actual value of the far-end node is not correct, and, the expected value is correct,
this means the line fiber, on which the OSC is carried, is not connected to the expected
far end node.
You must resolve the misconnection between the local and far-end nodes.

Important There are two LOF alarm clearing procedures. This procedure is for clearing a
loss of frame for transceiver on a circuit pack.
The other LOF procedure is

• 2.2.40, “LOF (Loss of Frame for line port)”

Problem Description
An SFP transceiver detects a loss of frame (LOF) alarm when a severely errored framing (SEF)
defect on the incoming SONET/SDH signal is detected and persists for 2.5 seconds (±0.5 sec.).
When the LOF defect is absent for 10 seconds (±0.5 sec.), the LOF alarm clears.
An XFP transceiver detects a LOF alarm when an OC192 or STM64 32-bit A1-A1-A2-A2
framing bytes sequence cannot be locked onto for 3 ms. When the LOF defect is absent for two
consecutive frames, the LOF alarm clears.
Note An SEF defect is detected when the SEF persists for 3 milliseconds. When an
SEF defect is absent for 1 millisecond, or optionally 3 milliseconds, the SEF
defect clears.
This alarm applies to the protocols: OC3, OC12, OC48, OC192, STM16 and STM64.

2.2.53.1  Clearing an LOS WT/WR/TPR Loss of Signal alarm


Use this procedure to clear an LOS alarm. See the Product Guide for information about
transceiver specifications.


Step 1 Measure the OPR at the transceiver
To measure the optical power received (OPR) value for the transceiver, connect a power
meter to the transceiver.
Note A Loss of Signal (LOS) alarm can occur when no coherent modulated signal is
connected to an SFP, XFP or MSA transceiver.
•  If the OPR level is greater than the specified value for the transceiver, adjust the
input optical power and go to step 2.
•  If the OPR level less than the specified value for the transceiver, go to step 3.


Step 2 Replace the Transceiver
To replace the SFP or XFP transceiver, refer to section 3.13, “Replacing optical
transceivers”.


Step 3 Check all optical connectors and connections
There may be a problem with the optical connectors on the circuit pack:
•  If the alarm clears, you have completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, go to the next step.


Step 4 Check upstream equipment
There may be a problem with the upstream equipment. Resolve any upstream problem:
•  If the alarm clears, you have completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, go to the next step.


Step 5 Possible fiber break in input fiber span.
A break in the fiber cable can cause a loss of signal. Contact your next level of support
to determine if there is a break in the fiber span.

2.2.54  LOS (WM Loss of Signal)


Important There are several LOS alarm clearing procedures. This procedure is for clearing
a loss of signal (LOS) alarm for a wavelength manager.
The other LOS procedures are:

• 2.2.51, “LOS (Loss of Signal for FC or GE client-side port)”
•  2.2.52, “LOS (Loss of Signal for OCn line-side port)”
•  2.2.53, “LOS (WT/WR/TPR Loss of Signal)”

2-152 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Clearing alarms

Problem Description
This alarm indicates that a loss of signal (LOS) alarm has occurred. This is a result of link
signals being outside the required values for proper operation. Generally, the LOS alarm
indicates that either an input power drop or an input power rise beyond the preset thresholds has
occurred. Refer to the Product Guide for SFP transceiver specifications.
For an LOS alarm to occur to a wavelength manager, the following LOS defect criteria must be
met.

Protocol Criteria for raising an LOS defect on a wavelength manager


OC3 OC12 - LOS indication from SFP, or - All zeros pattern lasts for 100 microseconds or
OC48 STM16 longer, or - If the zero pattern lasts for less than 2.5 microseconds then the
LOS defect is not reported.
- LOS can also be triggered by a low input power threshold. The threshold
must be set such that a LOS is not detected if the BER is still acceptable.

LOS defects clear when the following criteria are met.

Protocol Criteria for clearing an LOS defect on a wavelength manager


OC3 OC12 - Defect clears when the signal with a valid pulse density lasts for 125 to 150
OC48 STM16 microseconds, or - LOS indication clears from the SFP.

The LOS alarm occurs to a wavelength manager for the reasons listed in the following table.

Protocol Criteria for raising an LOS alarm on a wavelength manager


OC3 OC12 - LOS defect persists for 1.5 seconds, or - LOS defect is present when an
OC48 STM16 LOF failure is raised.

The LOS alarm clears when the LOS defect is absent for 10 seconds.

2.2.76  REPLUNITIDMEA (Replaceable Unit Identifier Mismatch)


Problem Description
An expansion shelf is connected to an expansion shelf port on the SCP of the BTI 7000 Series
that does not belong to that port. This mismatch can occur due to one of the following two
scenarios:

1 The expansion shelf cables are swapped and reconnected to the wrong expansion shelf port on
the SCP of the BTI 7060.

2 The expansion shelf from another network element (NE) is connected to an expansion shelf
port on the SCP of the first system.
Figure 2-37 Scenario 1: The expansion shelf cables are swapped

In this scenario, the expansion shelf cables that are connected to the SCP circuit pack in the main
shelf acquire expansion shelf IDs that are based on the order in which they are originally
provisioned. Subsequently, the expansion shelf cables from expansion shelves 11 and 21 are
reconnected in a reverse sequence. As a result, the BTI 7060 expects shelf IDs that are different
from the discovered shelf IDs. This causes the REPLUNITIDMEA alarm to be triggered.

Shelf IDs
Expansion shelf IDs are assigned to the expansion when first connected to the main shelf SC
port. The shelf ID is a function of the main shelf interface (MSI) circuit pack serial number and

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 2-199


Clearing alarms

the expansion shelf port number (11, 21, or 31) on the SCP to which the expansion shelf is
attached.
If the MSI circuit pack number, the expansion shelf port number, or both numbers are different
than expected, then the REPLUNITIDMEA alarm is triggered.

2.2.76.1  Clearing a REPLUNITIDMEA replaceable unit identifier mismatch alarm


Use this procedure to clear a replaceable unit identifier mismatch alarm.


Step 1 Review the expected and discovered parameters that are generated by the alarm
notification:
Expected Discovered
---------- -----------
TID TID
NMS IP NMS IP
Shelf ID Shelf ID
MSI Serial Number MSI Serial Number
where:
•  TID is the target identifier
•  NMS IP is the network management system IP address
•  Shelf ID is the shelf identifier
•  MSI Serial Number is the main shelf interface serial number
Note: TL1 displays the Craft port IP address instead of the NMS port IP address when
there is a REPLUNITIDMEA alarm.


Step 2 Compare the expected MSI serial number with the discovered MSI serial number.
•  If the expected MSI serial number matches the discovered MSI serial number, go to
the next step.

2-202 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Clearing alarms

•  If the expected MSI serial number does not match the discovered MSI serial number,
go to step 4.


Step 3 Compare the expected shelf identifier with the discovered shelf identifier.
•  If the expected shelf identifier matches the discovered shelf identifier, contact your
next level of support.
•  If the expected shelf identifier does not match the discovered shelf identifier, go to
the next step.


Step 4 You can either reconnect the expansion shelf to its original SCP expansion shelf port, or
you can accept the current configuration.
If you choose to reconnect the expansion shelf to its original SCP expansion shelf port,
check the alarm status after the expansion shelf is reconnected to its original SCP
expansion shelf port:
•  If the alarm clears, you have successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.
If you choose not to reconnect the expansion shelf to its original SCP expansion shelf
port and would rather accept the current configuration, go to the next step.


Step 5 Power-down the affected expansion shelf and then power it back up.
•  If the alarm clears, you have successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.

2.2.77.1  Clearing a REPLUNITHTAS Circuit Pack High Temperature Automatic


Shutdown alarm
Use this procedure to clear a REPLUNITHTAS alarm.


Step 1 Determine whether the cooling unit has failed
Check the LEDs on the front of the Cooling Unit:
•  If the red failure LED is lit on the Cooling Unit, there has been a failure. Obtain a
new Cooling Unit circuit pack. Go to the Cooling Unit replacement procedure
(Chapter 3, “Replacing modules”) in this document and replace the circuit pack.
•  If the green active LED is lit on the Cooling Unit, the circuit pack is functioning
correctly. Go to the next step.


Step 2 Determine whether the ambient room temperature is excessive
Check the ambient room temperature where the shelf is located:
•  If the ambient room temperature is greater than 50oC (122oF), you must lower the
ambient room temperature. Once the ambient room temperature is back to the normal
operating range, the alarm should clear.
•  If the ambient room temperature is in the normal operating temperature range, go to
the next step.


Step 3 Determine whether there are any empty slots in the shelf
Check the BTI 7000 Series shelf for any empty slots.

2-204 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Clearing alarms

•  If empty slots exist, insert filler circuit packs into those slots.
•  If no empty slots exist, go to the next step.


Step 4 Determine whether anything is obstructing the shelf ventilation
Check the BTI 7000 Series shelf to determine if there is anything obstructing the
ventilation openings.
•  If there are any obstructions, clear the obstructions from around the BTI 7000 Series
shelf.
•  Check the filter and clean it if necessary.


Step 5 If no problems are found, contact your next level of support.


Step 6 Once operating temperatures are back within specification, reset the circuit pack using
the following command (or remove and reseat the circuit pack). If the circuit pack does
not come back into service, replace it.
INIT-SYS:[TID]:[<aid>]:<CTAG>::phase;
For example:
INIT-SYS:BTI7000:TPR-1-3:100::2;
Note the use of phase parameter "2", which must be used to recover from a

As seen in the example output, SFP-1-1-1 is physically present on shelf 1, slot 1, port 1.


Step 2 Determine whether the provisioned transceiver port is correct
Check the office records or engineering specifications to determine whether the
provisioned transceiver data and the physical SFP or XFP transceiver inserted in the
port of the circuit pack is correct. The following conditions must be met:
If the PEC is provisioned, then the SFP or XFP in the slot must match the PEC.
The provisioned wavelength and the actual SFP or XFP transceiver wavelength must
match.
The wavelength provisioned for a tunable XFP must fall within the defined fixed grid.
The provisioned protocol must support the SFP installed in the port.
The bit rate of the provisioned protocol for the SFP or XFP must fall between the
minimum and maximum bit rates for the SFP or XFP transceiver.
If the FPSD parameter is set to ON, the TXDISABLEIMP parameter of the SFP
inventory item must be set to Y.
If the PHYPMMON parameter is set to ON, the DDIAGIMP parameter of the SFP
inventory must be set to Y.
If the VENDORPN is provisioned, it must match the SFP or XFP transceiver’s vendor
part number.
Action
•  If the provisioned parameters of the transceiver port are correct, obtain a correct SFP
or XFP transceiver and go to Step 3.
•  If the physical SFP or XFP transceiver is correct, go to Step 4 to change the
provisioned parameters.

for clearing a missing circuit pack.
The other REPLUNITMISS procedures are
•  2.2.82, “REPLUNITMISS (Expansion Shelf Missing)”
•  2.2.83, “REPLUNITMISS (SFP or XFP Missing)”

Problem Description
Circuit pack is missing in the BTI 7000 Series.
The alarm is triggered for one of the following reasons:

• the provisioned circuit pack is missing from its associated slot
•  a filler circuit pack is missing from an unprovisioned single-width or double-width slot
•  a single-width circuit pack is provisioned in a double-width slot
To clear this alarm, insert an appropriate single-width or double-width circuit pack or filler
circuit pack in the associated single-width or double-width slot.
Note When pre-provisioning a circuit pack against an empty slot in the shelf, the
severity of the circuit pack missing (REPLUNITMISS) alarm is major instead of
critical.
A filler circuit pack is required in all empty slots of the BTI 7060 main shelf for proper air flow.

2.2.95  STKLINKNOTPRESENT (Stacking Link Not Present)


Problem Description
This alarm is raised when the primary packetVX cannot communicate with the secondary
packetVX in a stacking configuration. When this occurs, the primary packetVX is unable to
synchronize with the secondary packetVX, and therefore, failover does not function properly and
the traffic on the secondary packetVX is dropped:
•  This alarm applies to the following packetVX modules: packetVX 12/2, packetVX 24/2, and
packetVX 24/4.
•  This alarm does not apply to a stacked packetVX 80 configuration, since stacking connectivity
is over the backplane.
The following are some scenarios that trigger this alarm:

• Stacking is configured, but the stacking ports are not configured.
•  Stacking is configured, the stacking ports are configured, but none of the stacking links is up.
•  Stacking is configured, the stacking ports are configured, but an intermittent problem is causing
the stacking ports to flap.

Examples
The show alarm all command displays the alarm:

procedures in this guide.
•  If the alarm clears, you successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, go to step 3.


Step 3 Reboot both the primary and the secondary packetVX modules.
In some situations, such as, when the primary fails before the connection to the
secondary can be established, the primary and secondary may require simultaneous
rebooting to re-synchronize.
•  If the alarm clears, you successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, go to step 4.


Step 4 In a stacking configuration, the secondary reboots when stacking connectivity is lost. If
the secondary reboots, autonomously, in an intermittent manner, this may indicate a
stacking port is flapping— a link is going up and down repeatedly.

Clearing alarms


Step 1 Check synchronization settings at originating and terminating network elements
Determine if the synchronization settings at the originating and terminating network
elements are correct based on the following scenarios:
  a) Default setting for two muxponders connected directly to each other
The default synchronization setting for two muxponders connected directly to each
other is to run both units on the internal timing mode.
If this is not the case, use the SET-TMG-Mode Tl1 command to set the timing mode..

  b) Master and slave configuration


The master and slave synchronization setting for two muxponders connected directly
to each other is to run one unit as the master using the internal timing mode, while
the other unit is run as the slave using the line timing mode.
If this is not the case, use the SET-TMG-Mode Tl1 command to set the timing mode..

  c) Synchronized to a SONET or SDH network


The default synchronization setting for two muxponders connected to each other
through either a SONET or SDH network is to run both units on the line timing mode
thereby acquiring synchronization from the network.
If this is not the case, use the SET-TMG-Mode Tl1 command to set the timing mode.

2.2.99.1  Clearing a SYNCSEC synchronization of secondary timing reference


alarm
Use this procedure to clear a SYNCSEC alarm.


Step 1 Check synchronization settings at originating and terminating network elements
Determine if the synchronization settings at the originating and terminating network
elements are correct based on the following scenarios:
  a) Default setting for two muxponders connected directly to each other
The default synchronization setting for two muxponders connected directly to each
other is to run both units on the internal timing mode.
If this is not the case, use the SET-TMG-Mode Tl1 command to set the timing mode.

  b) Master and slave configuration


The master and slave synchronization setting for two muxponders connected directly
to each other is to run one unit as the master using the internal timing mode, while
the other unit is run as the slave using the line timing mode.
If this is not the case, use the SET-TMG-Mode Tl1 command to set the timing mode.

  c) Synchronized to a SONET or SDH network


The default synchronization setting for two muxponders connected to each other
through either a SONET or SDH network is to run both units on the line timing mode
thereby acquiring synchronization from the network.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 2-265

2.2.108  T-OBR-HT (OBR - High Threshold)


Problem Description
An optical back reflection (OBR) high threshold alarm occurs when the back reflected power
exceeds a preset threshold value (that is, -7 dBm).
Note This alarm applies to first-generation EDFA optical amplifiers only (that is, OLA
and OLAM.)
The most likely causes of back reflection include:
•  The optical output path is not terminated (that is, the output port is not connected).
•  The optical output path is connected to a device that is not terminating the path (such as, an
optical power meter) and as a result is causing back reflection.
Note If you are using an optical power meter to terminate the output path, ensure the
power meter is actually terminating the output path. Otherwise, use an APC
connector to connect the output to the optical power meter.
•  The fibers are not connected correctly. This creates a gap or misalignment between the fiber
ends.
•  The coupler is faulty or the fibers are dirty.
The alarm clears when the back reflected power decreases to -8 dBm.

performance measurements of the amplifier as you proceed through this
procedure. For details about retrieving performance measurements, see the
Operations Solutions Guide.


Step 1 Check if the optical output path is terminated to optical terminating equipment.
Determine whether the optical output path is terminated to optical terminating
equipment:
•  If the optical output path is terminated correctly, go to step 3. (If you are using an
optical power meter to terminate the output path, ensure the power meter is actually
terminating the output path. Otherwise, use an APC connector to connect the output
to the optical power meter.)
•  If the optical output path is not terminated correctly, go to the next step.


Step 2 Connect the optical output path to optical terminating equipment
•  If the alarm clears, you have successfully completed this procedure.If the alarm does
not clear, go to the next step.


Step 3 Check all of the optical connections along the optical output path
Ensure the fibers are firmly and correctly connected through couplers and patch panels:
•  If the alarm clears, you have successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, go to the next step.


Step 4 Clean all the fiber connections along the optical output path
•  If the alarm clears, you have successfully completed this procedure.
•  If the alarm does not clear, contact your next level of support.

2.2.109  T-OBR-HTS (Optical Back Reflection High Threshold Safety)


Problem Description
An optical back reflection (OBR) high threshold shutdown occurs when the OBR value exceeds
a preset threshold value.
Note This alarm does not apply to the Optical Pre-Amplifier (OPA) or the Single-
Channel/Sub-Band Pre-Amplifier (SPA).
The most likely causes of back reflection include:
•  The optical output path is not terminated (that is, the output port is not connected).
•  The optical output path is connected to a device that is not terminating the path (such as, an
optical power meter) and as a result is causing back reflection.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 2-287


Clearing alarms

Note If you are using an optical power meter to terminate the output path, ensure the
power meter is actually terminating the output path. Otherwise, use an APC
connector to connect the output to the optical power meter.
•  The fibers are not connected correctly. This creates a gap or misalignment between the fiber
ends.
•  The coupler is faulty or the fibers are dirty.
The alarm clears when the optical back reflection decreases to about -20 dBm.

Impact
Critical alarm—service is affected. When the T-OBR-HTS alarm is triggered, only the first-stage
amplifier is shutdown.
Important The first-stage amplifier shuts down and the second-stage amplifier remains
active. This results in the output power being automatically reduced to a
maximum of 0 dBm when the threshold is crossed.
Note When the T-OBR-HTS alarm is triggered, the T-OPT-LT may be simultaneously
triggered depending on the minimum OPT threshold. This results in the major
system LED also being turned on.

Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series

4.1  Troubleshooting LED problems


Verify LED function with the alarm cutoff/lamp test button
Important If you are unsure about whether an LED is actually working, use the alarm cutoff/
lamp test button to check if the LED is functioning correctly.
With no audible alarm present, press the alarm cutoff/lamp test button continuously to turn all of
the management shelf interface (MSI) LEDs on and all of the circuit pack LEDs on. If an LED
does not turn on, the LED needs to be replaced.
Failure of either the MSI or SCP circuit packs disables the alarm cutoff/lamp test button.

4.1.1  LED state transitions during initialization


During initialization, the LEDs on a circuit pack transition through a series of states. By
watching the LED state transitions, you can understand where faults are being encountered.
The following figure illustrates the state transitions that the LEDs can indicate.

4-2 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series

Figure 4-1 LED state transitions

No power
As shown in the illustration, both the active and the fail LEDs are off when no power is available.

Circuit pack powered


When the circuit pack is inserted and power is applied, the LEDs change to show the red fail
LED is on and the green active LED is off.
If the hardware fails to load the software image, the green active LED does not go on and the
circuit pack goes to the circuit pack failure state.

Circuit pack initializing


When the software image is found and loading begins, both the green active LED and the red fail
LED are on.
If the software image fails to load correctly, the green active LED turns off, the red fail LED
remains on, and the circuit pack goes to the circuit pack failure state.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 4-3


Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series

Circuit pack operating


If the software image loads correctly and no hardware faults are found, the red Fail LED turns
off and the green active LED remains on. The circuit pack should now be operational.

Circuit pack failure


A circuit pack failure occurs when the software image cannot be loaded for some reason. The red
fail LED remains on and the green active LED is off.
Recommendations:
1) Unplug and then reinsert the circuit pack.
2) Replace the circuit pack.

Circuit pack operating with fault


If the software image loads correctly but hardware faults are found, both the green active LED
and the red fail LED remain on.
Recommendations:
1) Login and query alarms: - If you cannot login, wait 30 minutes for initialization to complete. -
If you still cannot login, verify that the LAN is operating correctly. See procedure
4.6, “Verifying the Ethernet LAN connections”
2) Check Chapter Chapter 2, “Clearing alarms” of this document.

4.1.2  Troubleshooting LED indicated circuit pack problems


Tracing circuit pack problems from the LED indications
Use this procedure to trace circuit pack problems from the LED indications.


Step 1 Determine the Likely Problem
Depending on what LEDs are on, use the following list to determine your next step:
•  If no circuit pack LED is on, go to step 2.
•  If the yellow circuit pack LED is on, go to step 3.
•  If the red circuit pack LED is on, go to step 4.
•  If the green and yellow circuit pack LEDs are on, go to step 5.
•  If the yellow and red circuit pack LEDs are on, go to step 6.
•  If the green and red circuit pack LEDs are on, go to step 7.
•  If the green, yellow and red circuit pack LEDs are on, go to step 8.


Step 2 No LEDs On
If no circuit pack LED is on, press the lamp test button on the MSI circuit pack. All of
the MSI LEDs and the circuit pack LEDs should turn on. If an LED fails to turn on,
replace the LED.

4-4 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series



Step 3 Yellow LED On
If the yellow circuit pack LED is on, this indicates that there is a non-equipment fault.
For single stage amplifiers this includes:
•  case temperature threshold
•  case temperature shutdown
•  optical power received minimum threshold
•  optical power received maximum threshold
•  optical power received maximum shutdown
•  back reflection threshold
•  back reflection shutdown
•  back reflection high threshold safety
•  optical power transmitted minimum threshold
•  optical power transmitted maximum threshold
•  optical power received minimum threshold
•  optical power received maximum threshold
Note The last two conditions are most likely non-equipment faults.
In addition, for mid-stage amplifiers the following faults are also possible:
•  second stage optical power received maximum shutdown
•  mid-stage insertion loss


Step 4 Red LED On
If the red LED is on, this indicates an equipment fault. The faults include:
•  communications failure
•  laser temperature minimum shutdown
•  laser maximum temperature shutdown
•  circuit pack communications failure
•  circuit pack failure
•  circuit pack mismatch
Reset the circuit pack. If the red LED turns off after the reset is complete, then the
circuit pack is operating normally. If the red LED does not turn off, then replace the
circuit pack by referring to the appropriate procedure. See Chapter 3, “Replacing
modules”.


Step 5 Green and Yellow LEDs On

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 4-5


Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series

If the green and yellow LEDs are on, this indicates that the circuit pack is okay and a
non-equipment fault is expected to clear.
No action is required.


Step 6 Yellow and Red LEDs On
If the yellow and red LEDs are on, this indicates that there is a circuit pack at fault and it
needs to be reseated or replaced.
Replace the circuit pack by referring to the appropriate procedure. See
Chapter 3, “Replacing modules”.


Step 7 Green and Red LEDs On
If the green and red LEDs are on, this indicates that the following potential faults are
present:
•  circuit pack mismatch
•  SCP/MSI or EDFA communications problem
•  other equipment problems
Replace the circuit pack by referring to the appropriate procedure. See
Chapter 3, “Replacing modules”.


Step 8 Green, Yellow, and Red LEDs On
If the green, yellow and red LEDs are on, this indicates that the circuit pack needs to be
replaced.
Replace the circuit pack by referring to the appropriate procedure. See
Chapter 3, “Replacing modules”.

4.1.3  Troubleshooting LED indicated SFP and XFP problems


Tracing SFP and XFP problems from the LED indications
Use this procedure to trace SFP and XFP problems from the LED indications.


Step 1 Determine the Likely Problem
Depending on what LEDs are on, use the following list to determine your next step:
•  If the yellow SFP or XFP LED is on, go to step 2.
•  If the red SFP or XFP LED is on, go to step 3.

4.5  Determining protection switch faults


Protection switching provisioning rules

Transponder circuit packs


Two transceiver ports (that is, ports 1 and 3 as well as ports 2 and 4) on a transponder circuit
pack can be provisioned as a protection pair, using the ENT-FFP-XCVR command:

1 The working and protecting transceivers must be provisioned with the same protocol.

2 Both the working and the protecting transceivers must be provisioned in an existing
transponder protection pair.

3 The protecting transceiver must not be involved in any provisioned cross-connects on the
circuit pack.

4 On a 2.5G Wavelength Regenerator, both the working and protecting transceivers must be
provisioned with the same Fault Propagation Shutdown setting; that is, the FPSD parameter
on both ports is either enabled or disabled.

5 On a Dual 10G and 10G Multiprotocol Transponder, only ports 1 and 3 can be provisioned as
a protection pair, and only for OC192 FEC, OC192 EFEC, STM64FEC, STM64EFEC,
10GELAN FEC, or 10GELAN EFEC protocols. FPSD restriction still applies.

Muxponder circuit packs


Two line ports (that is, line 1 and line 2) on a muxponder circuit pack can be provisioned as a
protection pair, using the ENT-CRS-VCG command:

1 Both the working and the protecting paths must be provisioned on the same muxponder circuit
pack.

2 Path protection is entered by provisioning a 2WAYPR logical connection type.

4.5.1  User invoked protection switching


Transponder
In addition to automatic protection switches, certain transponder circuit packs support user-
invoked protection switching and user-modified protection switching through the use of
protection switching commands. To apply a protection switch, enter the following command
syntax:

OPR-PROTNSW-XCVR:[<tid>]:<aid>:[CTAG]::<sc>;
To clear the applied protection switch, enter the following command syntax:

RLS-PROTNSW-XCVR:[<tid>]:<aid>:[CTAG];
where

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 4-23


Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series

aid is one of the transceivers in the provisioned protection pair. sc is for switch command and it
can be either - MAN for manual - FRCD for forced - LOCKOUT for lockout

Manual protection switch


A manual protection switch is invoked to cause the working and protecting ports to switch when
both ports are free of faults. The rules for performing a manual protection switch are as follows:
•  A manual protection switch can only operate on the working transceiver in a protection pair.
•  A manual protection switch is accepted only if no other user-invoked switch is active, and if
the protecting facility is free of faults.
•  When a manual protection switch is invoked, the working facility becomes the protecting
facility, and the protecting facility becomes the working facility. There are no further state
changes.

Forced protection switch


A forced protection switch is invoked to cause the working and protecting ports to switch even if
the protecting facility is in a signal degrade state. The rules for performing a forced protection
switch are as follows:
•  A forced protection switch targets the facility in a protection pair from which traffic is to be
switched away from.
•  A forced protection switch can be used to switch the working facility in a protection pair to a
facility with a signal degrade fault level. It may also be used to switch the working facility to
protecting, if the protecting facility is at the same fault severity level as the working facility
(that is, either in a fault-free state or a signal-degrade state).
•  A forced protection switch can be used to target the protecting facility in a signal degrade or
fault free state. This would not cause a protection switch, but can block an automatic
protection switch back to the protecting facility that might otherwise occur.

• A forced protection switch is accepted only if there is no forced or lockout switch active on
either port.

• When a forced protection switch is invoked, the target facility goes to the secondary state of
FRCD.

• To release a forced protection switch, the RLS-PROTNSW-XCVR command is used,
targeting the transceiver with the FRCD secondary state.

• If the working facility experiences a signal fail condition while the protecting facility is in the
forced state, and is not at the signal fail fault severity level, an automatic protection switch to
protecting occurs, and the forced switch on the protecting facility is automatically released.

Lockout protection switch


The lockout protection switch is invoked to cause the working or protecting ports to become
protecting, and to make the facility unavailable for protection. The rules for performing a lockout
protection switch are as follows:

4-24 BTI™ 7000 Series Alarm and Troubleshooting Guide – Document Version 01
Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series


• A lockout protection switch targets the facility in a protection pair from which traffic is to be
switched away from. It can be the working or protecting facility.

• When a lockout protection switch is applied to the working facility, a protection switch
immediately occurs, regardless of the state of the protecting facility.

• When a lockout protection switch is invoked, the target facility goes to a secondary state of
LKDO. In this state, the facility is no longer available for protection of the working facility.

• Protecting facilities can also be locked out.
•  A lockout protection switch is accepted only when no other lockout switch is active on the
protection pair.
•  A lockout protection switch can be cancelled only when the switch is released using the RLS-
PROTNSW-XCVR command that is targeted to the transceiver in the lockout secondary state.

Muxponder
Automatic protection switches take place on an STS1 or VC4 basis and not on an OC48 or
STM16 line-side port basis. In addition to automatic protection switches, the muxponder
supports user-invoked protection switching and user-modified protection switching through the
use of protection switching commands.
Note In the following commands, SONET networks use the STS1 commands and
SDH networks use the VC4 commands.
To apply a protection switch, enter one of the following commands:
•  OPR-PROTNSW-STSn/STSnC:[<tid>]:<aid>:[CTAG]::<sc>;
•  OPR-PROTNSW-VCn/VCnC:[<tid>]:<aid>:[CTAG]::<sc>;
To clear the applied protection switch, enter the following command syntax:
•  RLS-PROTNSW-STSn/STSnC:[<tid>]:<aid>:[CTAG];
•  RLS-PROTNSW-VCn/VCnC:[<tid>]:<aid>:[CTAG];
where
aid is the STS1 or VC4 path AID on line 1 or line 2 in the provisioned protection pair. sc is for
switch command and it can be either - MAN for manual - FRCD for forced - LOCKOUT for
lockout

Manual protection switch


A manual protection switch is invoked to cause the working and standby virtual concatenation
groups (STS1 or VC4) to switch when both line ports are free of faults. The rules for performing
a manual protection switch are as follows:

• A manual protection switch can only operate on the working path in a protection pair.
•  A manual protection switch is accepted only if no other user-invoked switch is active, and if
the standby path is free of faults.

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 4-25


Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series


• When a manual protection switch is invoked, the working path becomes the standby path, and
the standby path becomes the working path. There are no further state changes.

Forced protection switch


A forced protection switch is invoked to cause the working and standby paths to switch even if
the standby path is in a signal degrade state. The rules for performing a forced protection switch
are as follows:
•  A forced protection switch targets the path in a protection pair from which traffic is to be
switched away from.
•  A forced protection switch can be used to switch the working path in a protection pair to a
path with a signal degrade fault level. It may also be used to switch the working path to
standby, if the standby path is at the same fault severity level as the working path (that is,
either in a fault-free state or a signal-degrade state).
•  A forced protection switch can be used to target the standby path in a signal degrade or fault
free state. This would not cause a protection switch, but can block an automatic protection
switch back to the standby path that might otherwise occur.
•  A forced protection switch is accepted only if there is no forced or lockout switch active on
either STS1 or VC4.
•  When a forced protection switch is invoked, the target path goes to the secondary state of
FRCD.
•  To release a forced protection switch, either the RLS-PROTNSW-STSn/STSnC or RLS-
PROTNSW-VCn/VCnC command is used, targeting the transceiver with the FRCD
secondary state.
•  If the working path experiences a signal fail condition while the standby path is in the forced
state, and is not at the signal fail fault severity level, an automatic protection switch to standby
occurs, and the forced switch on the standby facility is automatically released.

Lockout protection switch


The lockout protection switch is invoked to cause the working or standby VCGs to become
standby, and to make the facility unavailable for protection. The rules for performing a lockout
protection switch are as follows:
•  A lockout protection switch targets the path in a protection pair from which traffic is to be
switched away from. It can be the working or standby path.
•  When a lockout protection switch is invoked, the target path goes to a secondary state of
LKDO. In this state, the path is no longer available for protection of the working path.
•  A lockout protection switch can be cancelled only when the switch is released using either the
RLS-PROTNSW-STS1 or RLS-PROTNSW-VC4 command that is targeted to the path in the
lockout secondary state.

LOSYNC, or LOL.


Step 3 Check the SFP/XFP transceiver state and laser status
To check the SFP/XFP transceiver state and laser status, enter the following syntax at
the TL1 command line interface:

RTRV-XCVR::[<aid>]:<CTAG>;
SFP/XFP transceiver primary states
•  IS - The SFP/XFP transceiver is in-service.
•  OOS - The SFP/XFP transceiver is out-of-service.
SFP/XFP transceiver secondary states
•  FRCD - The SFP/XFP transceiver is forced.
•  LKDO - The SFP/XFP transceiver is locked out.
•  STDBY - The SFP/XFP transceiver is in standby.
•  WRK - The SFP/XFP transceiver is working.
If the SFP/XFP transceiver state is incorrect, change the state of the SFP/XFP
transceiver.
Laser status
The laser status can be any of the following:
•  IDLE - DWDM SFP/XFPs take about 90 seconds to reach a stable operating
temperature. As a result, the laser status indicates IDLE even though the laser is OFF
during the first 90 seconds.
•  OFF - The laser is off.
•  ON - The laser is on.
•  AIS-L - The laser is transmitting SONET AIS.
•  ODU2-AIS - The laser is transmitting OTN G.709-compliant ODU2-AIS.
•  MS-AIS - The laser is transmitting SDH AIS.
If the laser status is incorrect, change the laser status.
Note The laser status AIS-L applies to OC-192 only. The laser status MS-AIS applies
to STM-64 only.


Step 4 Check for protection conditions

4.7  Performing loopback tests


4.7.1  Transponder loopback tests
Use this procedure to perform a loopback tests through either a small form factor package (SFP)
or a 10 Gbps small form factor pluggable (XFP) transceiver in transponder circuit packs.


Step 1 Lockout a working protection port
If the port is the working port of a protection switching group, lockout the port by
entering the following command syntax at the TL1 command line interface:

OPR-PROTNSW-XCVR:[<tid>]:<aid>:<CTAG>::<sc>;
where
<sc> is the switch command that is to be initiated on the line(s) or path(s) identified in
the AID (that is, LOCKOUT).


Step 2 Remove the SFP or XFP Transceiver from Service
To remove the SFP or XFP transceiver from service, enter the following syntax at the
TL1 command line interface:

RMV-XCVR:[TID]:<aid>:<CTAG>;
where
<aid> is the selected SFP or XFP transceiver port of a transponder circuit pack in the
form:
WM-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>
WR-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>
WT-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>
TPR-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>


Step 3 Initiate the Remote Loopback Test
To initiate the remote loopback test, enter the following syntax at the TL1 command
line interface:

OPR-LPBK-XCVR:[TID]:<aid>:<CTAG>::[<locn>],,,[<lpbktype>];
where
<aid> is the selected SFP or XFP transceiver port of a transponder circuit pack in the
form:
WM-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>
WR-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>

Product Release 11.1 STANDARD 4-33


Troubleshooting the BTI 7000 Series

WT-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>
TPR-<shelf#>-<slot#>-<port#>
<locn> is the location NEND.
<lpbktype> is the loopback type FACILITY
The following illustration shows the path that is established when an SFP transceiver is
setup in the loopback mode.



Step 4 Send a Test Signal Through the Loopback Link
Send a test signal through the loopback link using a bit error rate test (BERT) or packet
generator test to check for error or problems on the link.
•  If the transmitted test signal returns without a problem, the link is functioning
properly.
•  If the transmitted test signal encounters errors or problems, troubleshoot what may be

4.9  Overriding optical back reflection safety alarms

When the optical back reflection of an amplifier exceeds -4 dBm (that is, 4% of 10 dBm), the
optical back reflection high threshold safety (OBR-HTS) alarm is triggered and the amplifier
transitions to the EYESAFE mode by shutting down the first pump laser.
Note The OBR-HTS alarm does not apply to the Optical Pre-Amplifier (OPA) or the
Single-channel/Sub-band Pre-Amplifier (SPA).
To troubleshoot the cause of the excessive optical back reflection, an optical back reflection high
threshold override feature is available through the TL1 command OPR-OBR-HTSO. This
command overrides the OBR-HTS alarm by powering up the first pump laser and re-establishing
the preset output power of the amplifier.
Using the OPR-OBR-HTSO command, it is possible to measure the output power of the
amplifier using a hand-held power meter.
Look for the most likely causes of the optical back reflection, these include
•  The output port is disconnected at the amplifier or at the patch panel.
•  The output port is connected to a device that is causing back reflection, such as a hand-held
optical power meter.
•  The fibers are not connected correctly creating a gap or misalignment between the fiber ends.

• A coupler is dirty or the fibers are dirty.
•  Downstream fiber is cut along its span.
For details about using the OPR-OBR-HTSO command, see the TL1 Reference Guide.
Additionally, the override functionality is also available through the proNX 900 Node Controller
through the Provision Amplifier > Alarm Thresholds menus. For more information, users can see
the Online Help for the proNX 900.

4.10  Troubleshooting file transfers

When performing a software upgrade, database backup, or database restore, the message
“Database Load Failed” can appear. Review the following list to correct the problem and
complete the file transfer successfully:
•  Check that the filename is correct.

• Check that the correct IP address is entered.
•  Check that the FTP server is running.
•  Check that the gateway on the FTP server is correct.
•  Check that the FTP server can communicate with the BTI 7000 Series by pinging the BTI
7000 Series from the FTP server.
•  Check that the path is set correctly. (Note: Some UNIX FTP servers require the user to
specify the complete directory path to the location of the file.)
•  Check that the UNIX permissions are set to global read-write access.

• Check that there was no network interruptions during the system upgrade or database restore.
•  If you have the Windows XP Firewall enabled, a firewall exception must be configured to
allow the proNX 900’s FTP server to function. The firewall exception should be configured
with the javaw executable found in the proNX 900’s Installation directory ("<installation
directory>\jre\bin\javaw.exe).
Note If no apparent reason can be found for the file transfer failure, contact your next
level of support.
