inc. STSN sig. failed (BER)

Description

For STS-N path switched ring applications, the bit error ratio (BER) of the specified STS-N signal exceeds the provisioned soft error threshold of 10-3 (default).

Alarm Data

Value/Meaning

Severity Levels

Critical (CR), Major (MJ), Minor (MN), Not Alarmed (NA), Not Reported (NR)

SA Default: Critical (CR)

NSA Default: Minor (MN)

ASAP Type

STS Ring Channel

AID Type

STS-1, STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-48c, or STS-192c Ring Channel

Date

Month/day/year that the condition was detected

Time

Hour:minute:second that the condition was detected

Probable Cause

T-BERP (incoming ring path signal BER thresholds exceeded)

Effect on Service

SA or NSA

Alarm Entity Type

STS1, STS3C, STS12C, STS48C, or STS192C

Description

inc. STS1 sig. failed (BER),

inc. STS3C sig. failed (BER),

inc. STS12C sig. failed (BER),

inc. STS48C sig. failed (BER), or

inc. STS192C sig. failed (BER)

Likely Cause

The near-end OC-N OLIU circuit pack failed, the far-end OLIU failed, the receive fiber failed if the OC-N is also reporting a failure, or a nonadjacent fiber failed in the receive path.

An unprotected circuit pack failed - SA. A protected circuit pack failed - NSA.

Visible Indication

Lighted CR, MJ, or MN LED on the SYSCTL faceplate (when the severity level is provisioned to Critical, Major, or Minor, respectively)

Action

Proceed to Procedure 5-74: Clear "inc. STSN" conditions/alarms.
