The system has detected a virtual tributary (VT) path alarm indication signal (AIS) incoming from the active OC-N line. The system responds by transmitting DS1 AIS toward the DSX-1 and VT RFI-V back toward the fiber where the AIS is being received.

Description |
inc. VT AIS |
|
Likely Cause |
Incomplete or incorrect cross-connect provisioning in end-to-end network; unprotected removal or failure of a DS1 circuit pack at the far-end. In ring applications, a non-service affecting VT AIS alarm message may result from an upstream OLIU or fiber failure affecting only one ring direction. A VT RFI-V alarm message is not returned for a non-service affecting VT AIS. |
|
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 5-79: Clear "inc. VT" conditions/alarms. |
