Enter/exit pluggable transmission module maintenance state

Procedure 6-27: Enter/exit pluggable transmission module maintenance state

Overview

Use this procedure to enter or exit the pluggable transmission module maintenance state.

Pluggable transmission module maintenance state

A pluggable transmission module enters the maintenance state when the pluggable transmission module Maintenance State parameter is provisioned to Maint.

When the Maintenance State parameter is provisioned to Maint, the system reports Pluggable transmission module maintenance IP and ABN condition. Any subsequent removal of the pluggable transmission module is reported with an alarm severity level no higher than a standing condition regardless of the assigned ASAP alarm severity level.

A pluggable transmission module remains in the maintenance state until the pluggable transmission module Maintenance State parameter is provisioned to Normal (default value). Any subsequent removal of the pluggable transmission module is reported using the applicable assigned ASAP alarm severity level.

Entering/exiting the Maintenance state does not affect the alarm severity level of any existing removal alarms.

Steps

Complete the following steps to enter or exit the pluggable transmission module maintenance state.


1	From the System View window, select Configuration → Equipment. Result: The Configure Equipment window opens.
2	Find the circuit pack with the required pluggable transmission module, then expand the equipment list by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to the required circuit pack. Select the required PTM and click Select. Result: The pluggable transmission module parameters appear.
3	Important! When the Maintenance State parameter is provisioned to Maint, the pluggable transmission module enters the maintenance state. When the Maintenance State parameter is provisioned to Normal, the pluggable transmission module exits the maintenance state. Provision the Maintenance State parameter according to the work instructions, then click Apply. Click Close to exit. End of steps
