SONET Logical Object: VCG
The VCAT Group Degraded alarm is a VCAT group alarm. (VCATs are groups of independent circuits
that are concatenated from different time slots into higher-rate signals.) The alarm occurs when one
member circuit carried by the ML-Series Ethernet card is down. This alarm is accompanied by the
“OOU-TPT” alarm on page 2-190. It only occurs when a Critical (CR) alarm, such as LOS, causes a
signal loss.

Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
