Step 8
Complete the following fields for each external device wired to the ONS 15454 SDH backplane:
• Enabled—Check the check box to activate the fields for the alarm input number.
• Alarm Type—Choose an alarm type from the drop-down list.
• Severity—Choose a severity from the drop-down list.
The severity determines the severity the alarm has in the Alarms and History tabs and determines
whether the LEDs are activated. Critical (CR), Major (MJ), and Minor (MN) alarms activate the
LEDs. Not Alarmed (NA) and Not Reported (NR) do not activate LEDs, but do report the
information in CTC.
• Virtual Wire—Choose the virtual wire number from the drop-down list to assign the external device
to a virtual wire. Otherwise, do not change the default (None). For information about the AIC-I
virtual wire, see the “Alarm Monitoring and Management” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Reference Manual.
• Raised When—From the drop-down list, choose the contact condition (open or closed) that triggers
the alarm.
• Description—A default description is provided; enter a different description if needed.
