1.11.2 DS3i-N-12 Card Does Not Report MS-AIS From External Equipment
Symptom A DS3i-N-12 card does not report MS-AIS from the external equipment/line side.
Possible Cause The card is functioning as designed.
Recommended Action This card terminates the port signal at the backplane, so VC MS-AIS is not
reported from the external equipment/line side. DS3i-N-12 cards have DS3 header monitoring
functionality, which allows you to view PMs on the DS3 path. Nevertheless, you cannot view
MS-AIS on the VC path. For more information on the PM capabilities of the DS3i-N-12 cards, refer
to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual Chapter 3, “Electrical Cards.”
1.11.3 STM-1 and DCC Limitations
Symptom Limitations to STM-1 and DCC usage.
Possible Cause STM-1 and DCC have limitations for the ONS 15454 SDH.
Recommended Action For an explanation of STM-1 and DCC limitations, refer to the DCC Tunnels
section of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide Chapter 5, “Turn Up Network.”
