Alarms & troubleshooting

R_LOS (Rx Optical Signal Loss)
STAT steady red, SRV steady red
Fiber link disconnection, excessive optical line attenuation exceeding Rx sensitivity threshold, or remote transmitter shutdown/failure.
1. Measure Rx optical power at IN port using an optical power meter; verify it is within range (-18 dBm to 0 dBm). 2. Inspect and clean optical patch cords and LC connectors using a fiber scope to eliminate contamination or micro-bends. 3. Log in to the NMS (NCE) and verify the remote board's OUT port laser state and output power.
OTU_LOF (OTU Loss of Frame)
STAT steady red, SRV blinking red
Severe optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) degradation, mismatched FEC mode configuration between endpoints, or coherent receiver framer synchronization failure.
1. Verify in NCE that the FEC mode (e.g., SDFEC vs HFEC) matches identically on both line endpoints. 2. Query the MCA/OSC spectrum data to check OSNR; re-tune OA gain and channel flattening if below threshold. 3. Perform a warm reset on the board; if the alarm persists despite normal optical performance, replace the TN56NS3 board.
BIAS_HIGH (Laser Bias Current High)
STAT steady green, SRV steady amber
Aging of the coherent transmitter laser diode, causing the internal driver circuit to elevate bias current to maintain target optical output power.
1. Retrieve DDM parameters via NCE and compare current Laser Bias Current against historical baseline data. 2. Verify board operating temperature and subrack fan status to rule out high-temperature thermal compensation. 3. Since this indicates hardware aging, schedule a maintenance window and replace the TN56NS3 optical board.
OTU_FEC_EXC (OTU Pre-FEC Bit Error Rate Excessive)
STAT steady green, SRV blinking amber
Accumulated chromatic dispersion exceeding compensation limits, PMD transient bursts, optical non-linear effects, or borderline OSNR degradation.
1. Review Pre-FEC BER performance curves in NCE to see if error surges correlate with optical power drops. 2. Verify multiplexer/demultiplexer (M40/D40) and WSS channel attenuation settings; re-equalize channel optical power. 3. Execute OTDR testing along the fiber span to pinpoint high-loss splices or severe bend points and resplice.
TEMP_OVER (Board and Optical Module Over-Temperature)
STAT blinking amber slowly, SRV steady amber
Chassis fan tray failure, severely clogged air filters restricting cooling airflow, or equipment room HVAC failure causing ambient intake air to exceed 50°C.
1. Check the chassis FAN tray LED status to confirm all fans run properly; replace fan assembly if stalled. 2. Inspect and clean the chassis dust filters to restore unobstructed airflow across slots. 3. Measure data center cold aisle temperature; if ambient is normal but board DSP/optical module exceeds 75°C, replace the TN56NS3 board.
