Note If a port in the IS admin state does not receive a signal, the LOS alarm is raised and the port
service state transitions to OOS-AU,FLT.
Step 3 Program the Credits Available value based on the buffers available on the connected equipment:
Note The NumCredits must be provisioned to a value smaller than or equal to the receive buffers or
credits available on the connected equipment.

2.7.112 FE-AIS
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
SONET Logical Object: DS3
The Far-End AIS condition occurs when an AIS has occurred at the far-end node. FE-AIS usually occurs
in conjunction with a downstream LOS alarm (see the “LOS (OCN)” alarm on page 2-164).
Generally, any AIS is a special SONET signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit
node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It is raised by the receiving node on
each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is raised,
an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it only raise
some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolved the problem on the upstream node.
Clear the FE-AIS Condition
Step 1 Complete the “Clear the AIS Condition” procedure on page 2-37.
Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.
