Trouble may be in optical and/or fiber connections. Trouble may also be in the circuit packs. If report indicated trouble when the report was obtained from the near end of the span, trouble may be in the receive direction. If the report indicated trouble when the report was obtained from the far end of the span, trouble may be in the transmit direction. Check optical fiber and connections. Clean optical fiber connections. Reference: Procedure 14-3: Clean optical fibers, dual LC adapters and LC lightguide buildouts (LBOs) If no trouble was found in the optical fiber, click the Alarm List button to obtain the NE Alarm List. Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) Alarm Messages and Trouble Clearing Guide, 365-372-302 to clear/isolate the trouble. | ||||||||
