LOS (Channel Absent)
Wavelength Tracker could not detect the provisioned channel. Possible reasons for this
alarm may be:
• the channel is missing
• the channel is outside the detectable range
• the Wavekeys are not being correctly applied at the source OT or SVAC
If the channel is missing it could be a provisioning error or fibering error.
At the end of each step wait for several seconds to see if the fault clears. If not, go to the
next step:
Note: It may take several seconds for channel power out of range and channel absent
alarms to clear when performing the corrective actions listed below.

Service-disruption hazard
A cold reset, reseat, or replacement of a card is service impacting if the card is currently
carrying services. To determine if any services are currently carried over a card, perform
the procedure “Reseating a Card” (p. 3-19).
If
there are services currently carried over the card, it may be best to wait for a
maintenance window before resetting, replacing, or reseating the card.
