2.5 Trouble Notifications
The ONS 15454 system reports trouble by utilizing standard alarm and condition characteristics,
standard severities following the rules in Telcordia GR-253-CORE, and graphical user interface (GUI)
state indicators.These notifications are described in the following paragraphs.
The ONS 15454 uses standard Telcordia categories to characterize levels of trouble. The system reports
trouble notifications as alarms and status or descriptive notifications (if configured to do so) as
conditions in the CTC Alarms window. Alarms typically signify a problem that the user needs to remedy,
such as a loss of signal. Conditions do not necessarily require troubleshooting.
2.5.1 Alarm Characteristics
The ONS 15454 uses standard alarm entities to identify what is causing trouble. All alarms stem from
hardware, software, environment, or operator-originated problems whether or not they affect service.
Current alarms for the network, CTC session, node, or card are listed in the Alarms tab. (In addition,
cleared alarms are also found in the History tab.)
