About This Chapter
Alarm handling is essential for the maintenance of the OptiX OSN 9500. An effective analysis
of alarms is the key to clear them. Therefore, you need to locate the causes of the alarms first
and then clear them.
Based on the generation and handling methods, the alarms are classified into equipment alarm,
communication alarm, QoS alarm, processing alarm, environment alarm and security alarm.
This chapter describes the causes and handling methods of common alarms.

The alarm level is the default one.

3.1 ALM_ALS
Description
The ALM_ALS is an alarm of automatic laser shutdown (ALS). If the ALS function is
enabled, the system automatically shuts down the laser in the transmit direction of the optical
interface that receives an R_LOS alarm, and at the same time reports the ALM_AIS alarm.
When the R_LOS alarm is cleared, the system automatically turns on the laser in the transmit
direction of the optical interface, and at the same time the ALM_ALS alarm is cleared.
Attribute
Alarm Severity Alarm Type
Minor Equipment alarm

Parameters
When you view an alarm on the T2000, select the alarm. In the Alarm Details field display the
related parameters of the alarm. The alarm parameters are in the following format: Alarm
Parameters (hex): parameter1 parameter2...parameterN, for example, Alarm Parameters (hex):
0x01 0x08. For details about each parameter, refer to the following table.
Name Meaning
Parameter 1 Indicates the optical interface number.

Impact on System
For the optical interface that reports the ALM_ALS alarm, the laser in the transmit direction is
shut down, and the services in this direction fail.
Possible Causes
When the ALS function is enabled, an R_LOS alarm occurs in the receive direction of the
optical interface.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Confirm the relevant optical interface according to the alarm parameters.
Step 2 Confirm whether the ALS function should be enabled for the optical interface. If the ALS
function need not be enabled for the optical interface, manually disable the ALS function. In
this case, the laser in the transmit direction of the optical interface is automatically turned on,
and the ALM_ALS alarm is cleared.
OptiX OSN 9500


Step 3 If the ALS function should be enabled for the optical interface, handle the R_LOS alarm first.
When the R_LOS alarm of the optical interface is cleared, the laser in the transmit direction of
the optical interface is automatically turned on, and the ALM_ALS alarm is cleared.
----End

the switching state.
Attribute

Parameters
Name Meaning
occurs.



OptiX OSN 9500


Impact on System

The APS_INDI alarm indicates the occurrence of a fiber cut or a terminal node failure,
which triggers the MSP switching.

For a two-fiber ring MSP or a linear MSP, if a fiber cut or another fault occurs after the
occurrence of this alarm, the services are interrupted.
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the APS_INDI alarm are as follows:

An external command, including manual switching, forced switching, and exercise
switching, is issued.

After the R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, B2_EXC, or B2_SD alarm occurs, the MSP group
changes to the switching state.

The service board is faulty.

The cross-connect board is faulty.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 On the T2000, view Parameter 1 and Parameter 2 of this alarm to confirm the type and ID of
the protection group in which this alarm is generated.
Step 2 Check whether the MSP is in a state of manual switching, forced switching, or lockout of
switching. If the MSP is in a switching state, clear the switching and then observe whether the
alarm is cleared.
Step 3 To check whether the MSP is in the automatic switching state, do as follows:

Handle the R_LOS, R_LOF, MS_AIS, B2_EXC or B2_SD alarm reported by the
equipment. When these alarms are cleared, wait for the MSP switching to be
automatically restored to the normal state, and then check whether the APS_INDI alarm
is cleared.

Make sure that the service board of the MSP is not faulty. Replace the relevant service
board and then check whether the alarm is cleared.

Make sure that the cross-connect board of the MSP is not faulty. Replace the relevant
cross-connect board and then check whether the alarm is cleared.
----End
Related Information
For the 1+1 single-ended non-revertive linear MSP, the APS_INDI alarm is generated when
the protection switching occurs. When the optical path returns to normal, the service is not
automatically switched back to the working path, and the APS_INDI alarm persists. In this
case, manually switch the service from the protection path to the working path. After
successful manual switching, the APS_INDI alarm is cleared.

received on the receive side of the local optical interface is all "1"s, the AU_AIS alarm is
reported.
Attribute

Parameters
Name Meaning
Parameter 1 Indicates the actual optical interface number of the board.
Parameter 2,
Parameter 3
Indicates the AU-4 path number. Parameter 2 is the higher byte, and
Parameter 3 is the lower byte.
For example, Parameter 1 = 0x01, Parameter 2 = 0x00, Parameter 3 =
0x01. In this case, the AU_AIS alarm is reported from AU-4 path 1 of
optical interface 1 on the board.

Impact on System

When the AU_AIS alarm occurs, the path-level services are interrupted if the network is
not protected.

In this case, the AU-AIS alarm occurs at the downstream station.
Possible Causes
The possible causes of the AU_AIS alarm are as follows:

A higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_EXC or B2_EXC,
occurs in the system.

The alarms shown in Table 3-1 occur at the upstream station.

The AIS signal is transmitted at the opposite station.

The transmit unit (such as cross-connect boards or line boards) at the opposite station is
faulty.

The receive unit at the local station is faulty.
3 Alarm Clearing
OptiX OSN 9500


Handling Procedure
Step 1 Check whether any higher-level alarm, such as the R_LOS, R_LOF, R_OOF, B1_EXC or
B2_EXC, is detected on the T2000 at the local station. If yes, take priority to clear it, and then
check whether the AU_AIS alarm is cleared.
Step 2 If the alarm persists, check whether any alarm shown in Table 3-1 occurs at the upstream
station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the AU_AIS alarm is cleared.
Step 3 Perform optical interface inloop on the relevant line board at the opposite station.
Step 4 After the inloop operation, if the AU_AIS alarm occurs at the opposite station, the AU_AIS
alarm at the local station comes from the opposite station.

Repeat step 3 to locate the upstream station that first generates and transmits the AU-AIS
alarm. Check whether any alarm shown in Table 3-1 occurs on the service source board
of the local station. If yes, clear it, and then check whether the AU-AIS alarm is cleared
at the local station.

If the alarm persists, replace the transmit board at the station that first generates the
AU_AIS alarm.
Step 5 After the inloop operation, if the AU-AIS alarm does not occurs at the opposite station, the
receive board at the local station is faulty. In this case, replace the receive board at the local
station.

If yes, clear the B1_EXC or B1_SD alarm.
Step 3 If the AU_LOP alarm persists after the B1_EXC or B1_SD alarm is cleared, check whether
the services in the relevant path of the local and opposite stations are consistent with the
service planning. If not, reconfigure the services.
Step 4 If the AU_LOP alarm persists, check whether the clock board and the cross-connect board of
the opposite station are working properly, according to the alarm information of the opposite
station. If any of the mentioned boards is faulty, replace the faulty board.
Step 5 If the alarm persists, contact Huawei technical support engineers to handle the problem.
----End
Related Information

The handling method for the AU_LOP alarm of the OptiX OSN 9500 is different from
the handling method for the AU_LOP alarm of the OptiX OSN 1500/2500/3500/7500.
Hence, handle the AU_LOP alarms separately for the OptiX OSN 9500 and the OptiX
OSN 1500/2500/3500/7500.

If the AU_LOP alarm occurs when the equipment runs in the existing network, you need
to contact Huawei technical support engineers and report the alarm although you have
cleared it by adopting the mentioned methods.

higher level alarms occur on other nodes in the network, the HP_TIM alarm triggers the
SNCP switching.
Possible Causes

The service cross-connections are incorrectly configured.

The J1 byte is incorrectly configured.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the service cross-connections are correctly configured. If not, configure the
correct service cross-connections, and then check whether the HP_TIM alarm is cleared.
Step 2 If the alarm persists, trace back to the upstream station, and find the station at which lower
order services are provided. The source board at the station is the source of transmitting the J1
byte, and all the intermediate nodes transmit the J1 byte transparently. In this way, you can
find the station from which the value of the J1 byte is received at the local station, and this
station is regarded as the termination station.
Step 3 Check whether the value of the J1 byte to be transmitted from the line board of the
termination station is consistent with that of the J1 byte to be received at the line board of the
local station. If not, modify the value of the J1 byte as required. After modification, the
HP_TIM alarm is automatically cleared.

Parameter 3 Indicates the slot number of the standby board.

OptiX OSN 9500


Impact on System
Every service board of the OptiX OSN 9500 can select its own cross-connect board, clock
board, and SCC board. When the SLAVE_BAD alarm occurs, therefore, the active/standby
protection of the cross-connect board, clock board, or SCC board is lost.
If the alarmed board also reports the MASTER_ERR alarm, and the slot number parameters
of the MASTER_ERR and SLAVE_BAD alarms are the same, the services on the alarmed
board are interrupted.
If the alarmed board does not report the MASTER_ERR alarm, or if the alarmed board does
report the MASTER_ERR alarm at the same time but the slot number parameters of the
MASTER_ERR and SLAVE_BAD alarms are different, the services are not affected. In this
case, the alarmed board only loses the active/standby protection options of the cross-connect
boards, clock boards, or SCC boards.
Possible Causes

Bit errors are generated in the signals that the alarmed board receives from the standby
cross-connect board.

The standby clock board, from which the alarmed board receives signals, has a bad clock
quality.

The alarmed board detects a fault of the standby SCC board.

The alarmed board detects a fault of its own hardware.
Handling Procedure

Parameter 3 Indicates the slot number of the working standby board.

Impact on System
In case a line board reports the SLAVE_WORKING alarm and the working standby board is
an SCC board according to the alarm parameters, the reconfiguration of services might cause
bit errors in existing services and even interrupt the existing services.
In other cases, the SLAVE_WORKING alarm does not affect services.
Possible Causes

Bit errors are generated in the signals that the alarmed board receives from the active
cross-connect board. As a result, the alarmed board selects signals from the standby
cross-connect board.

The active clock board, from which the alarmed board receives signals, has a bad clock
quality. As a result, the alarmed board selects signals from the standby clock board.

The alarmed board detects a fault of the active SCC board.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 If the SLAVE_WORKING alarm is generated during a new deployment, it need not be
handled.
Step 2 If the SLAVE_WORKING alarm is generated when the equipment is already in stable
operation, contact Huawei technical support engineers to handle the problem.

3.161 WRG_BD_TYPE
Description
The WRG_BD_TYPE is an alarm of wrong board type. This alarm occurs when the types of
the logical board and the physical board are different.
Attribute

Parameters
Name Meaning
Parameter 1 Indicates the number of the slot that generates this alarm.

Impact on System
The WRG_BD_TYPE alarm does not affect the existing services and the operation of the
system. The slot that generates this alarm, however, cannot be configured with services.
Possible Causes

The original board is replaced by one that supports multiple board IDs.

The types of the logical board and the physical board are different.
Handling Procedure
Step 1 View the WRG_BD_TYPE alarm on the T2000, and then confirm the slot number according
to Parameter 1.
Step 2 Check whether the physical board in this slot supports multiple board IDs and whether the
physical board can alternate with one of the logical board type. If yes, wait for several
minutes. Then the WRG_BD_TYPE alarm is automatically cleared.
Step 3 If the WRG_BD_TYPE alarm persists, check whether the logical board in this slot is correct.
If yes, replace the corresponding physical boards. Then check whether this alarm is cleared.
