B.2 Administrative States
Administrative states are used to manage service states. Administrative states consist of a PST and an 
SST. Table B-3 lists the ANSI and ETSI administrative states supported by the ONS 15454. See 
Table B-2 for SST definitions. 
Note A change in the administrative state of an entity does not change the service state of supporting or 
supported entities. 
Table B-2 ONS 15454 Secondary States 
ANSI Secondary 
State ETSI Secondary State Definition
AINS  automaticInService The entity is delayed before transitioning to the 
IS-NR (ANSI)/Unlocked-enabled (ETSI) service state. The transition to 
IS-NR/Unlocked-enabled depends on correction of conditions. Alarm 
reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, 
whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the Cisco 
Transport Controller (CTC) Conditions tab or by using the TL1 
RTRV-COND command.
DSBLD  disabled The entity was manually removed from service and does not provide its 
provisioned functions. All services are disrupted; unable to carry traffic.
FLT failed The entity has a raised alarm or condition. 
MEA  mismatchOfEquipment An improper card is installed. For example, an installed card is not 
compatible with the card preprovisioning or the slot. This SST applies 
only to cards.
MT  maintenance The entity has been manually removed from service for a maintenance 
activity but still performs its provisioned functions. Alarm reporting is 
suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, whether or not 
their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or 
by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.
SWDL  softwareDownload The card is involved in a software and database download. This SST 
applies only to cards.
UAS  unassigned The card is not provisioned in the database. This SST applies only to cards.
UEQ
