TAP-143
Address ‘Extra Traffic Preempted’
NOTE:
This condition indicates that the extra traffic routed over the protection
tributaries (9 through 16) has been preempted by a line protection switch. This
condition (extra traffic preempted) is normally cleared by correcting the
associated condition(s) that caused the automatic line protection switch.
1. At the CIT, select FAULT-Retrieve-Alarms (and Status) to obtain the
Active Alarms and Status Report.
2. Referring to the report obtained in Step 1, are there any conditions other than
extra traffic preempted listed?
If YES, then continue with Step 3.
If NO, then initiate a Trouble Report to the remote FT-2000 network
element (or source of failure) stating the extra traffic preempted condi-
tion.
3. Is the line auto switch condition reported?
If YES, then go to TAP-115 to clear this condition that was caused by an
automatic line switch.
If NO, then continue with Step 4.
4. Referring to the report obtained in Step 1, identify the topmost condition other
than the extra traffic preempted and line auto switch conditions.
5. Find the condition identified in Step 4 in Table A of TAP-102 and go to the indi-
cated TAP to clear that condition.
