Manage Alarms
This chapter contains the procedures for viewing and managing the alarms and conditions on a
Cisco ONS 15454.
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) detects and reports alarms generated by the Cisco ONS 15454 and the
Optical Networking System (ONS) network. You can use CTC to monitor and manage alarms at card,
node, or network level. You can also view alarm counts on the LCD front panel.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
