On the ONS 15454 ETSI, the colors of the FMEC cards reflect the real-time status of the physical FMEC 
cards. Table 12-5 lists the FMEC card colors. The FMEC ports shown in CTC do not change color.
Note You cannot preprovision FMECs. 
The wording on a card in node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode) shows the status 
of a card (Active, Standby, Loading, or Not Provisioned). Table 12-6 lists the card statuses.
Port color in card view, node view (single-shelf mode), and shelf view (multishelf mode) indicates the 
port service state. Table 12-7 lists the port colors and their service states. For more information about 
port service states, see Appendix B, “Administrative and Service States.”
Yellow Slot is provisioned; a Minor alarm condition exists.
Orange Slot is provisioned; a Major alarm condition exists.
