Clear "unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module" alarm

Procedure 5-65: Clear "unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module" alarm

Overview

This procedure is used to clear the following alarms:

unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module
underlying resources unavailable, optical module. Alarm is declared coincident with the unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module alarm. It clears when the unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module alarm clears.

Before you begin

Prior to performing this procedure:

Refer to Before you begin and Required equipment in this chapter.
Refer to Laser safety and Electrostatic discharge in Chapter 1, Safety.

Steps

Complete the following steps to clear an unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module/underlying resources unavailable, optical module alarm.

From the WaveStar^® CIT System View, click the Alarm List button and locate the unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module/underlying resources unavailable, optical module alarm in the resulting alarm list.

Determine the alarm level(s) for the active unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module/underlying resources unavailable, optical module alarm(s). Clear the alarms in order of severity.

Refer to the Probable Cause column in your alarm list, and determine the pluggable transmission module affected and note the corresponding socket AID.

Was the affected pluggable transmission module just installed in the socket?

If...

Then...

Yes

Continue with Step 5.

The pluggable transmission module has failed. Replace the affected pluggable transmission module. (Refer to Procedure 6-6: Replace pluggable transmission module.)

STOP! End of Procedure.

Select Reports → Status Lists → Pluggable Transmission Module to obtain the Pluggable Module Status showing the expected pluggable transmission module for the affected circuit pack/socket.

Use the Pluggable Module Status and office records to verify that the correct pluggable transmission module was installed in the correct socket/circuit pack.

If...

Then...

correct pluggable transmission module was installed in the correct socket/circuit pack,

Perform the following:

Select View → Equipment to access the required port and verify that the Signal Type parameter matches the pluggable transmission module signal rate.

If required, select Configure → Equipment to access the required port and change the value of the Signal Type parameter to match the pluggable transmission module signal rate.
From the System View, click the Alarm List button and click Refresh. If the unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module alarm is still present, replace the affected pluggable transmission module. (Refer to Procedure 6-6: Replace pluggable transmission module.)

STOP! End of Procedure.

correct pluggable transmission module was installed in the wrong socket/circuit pack,

Perform the following:

Remove the pluggable transmission module from the wrong socket/circuit pack and install the pluggable transmission module in the correct socket/circuit pack. (Refer to Procedure 6-6: Replace pluggable transmission module.)
Select Configuration → Update System → Update Inventory to update the system equipment list.

STOP! End of Procedure.

wrong pluggable transmission module was installed in the correct socket/circuit pack,

Perform the following:

Replace the wrong pluggable transmission module with the correct pluggable transmission module. (Refer to Procedure 6-6: Replace pluggable transmission module.)
Select Configuration → Update System → Update Inventory to update the system equipment list.

STOP! End of Procedure.
