Resetting the active control card switches control to the standby control card. If the alarm clears when the node switches
to the standby control card, the user can assume that the previously active card is the cause of the alarm.
Step 9 If the control card reset does not clear the alarm, delete the problematic RS-DCC termination by completing the following
steps:
a) From card view, click View > Go to Previous View if you have not already done so.
b) Click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > RS-DCC tabs.
c) Highlight the problematic DCC termination.
d) Click Delete.
e) Click Yes in the Confirmation Dialog box.
Step 10 Recreate the RS-DCC termination. Refer to the Turn Up Network chapter in the Configuration guide for procedures.
Step 11 Verify that both ends of the DCC have been recreated at the optical ports.

If the Technical Support technician tells you to reseat the card, complete the Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card
, on page 452 procedure. If the Technical Support technician tells you to remove the card and reinstall a new one, follow
the Physically Replace a Card, on page 453 procedure.
