Alarm Reporting Control - Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6130 Planning Manual

Viewing/provisioning alarm severities
The Alarm severity application in the Faults menu of the local craft access
terminal provides the ability for users to view or edit the severity of an alarm
for the OME6130 network element. The severity changes are applied to the
alarm type, but is not provisionable on an entity basis.
For more information about the alarm severities and detailed procedures on
managing alarm severities, refer to Local Craft Access User Guide,
323-1855-195 and Trouble Clearing and Module Replacement Procedures,
323-1855-543.

Alarm Reporting Control

The ARC feature provides a toolset to control the declaration of alarms from
the network element to the EMS/NMS applications. There are three
components of this feature:
• port profiles
• path alarm profiles
• facility alarm reporting
Viewing/editing port profiles
The STM Port Profile application in the Profiles menu of the local craft
access terminal provides the ability for users to define the appropriate port
profiles for the STM interfaces. The following are the two default port profiles:
• internal-NNI - use within an EMS domain
• external-NNI - use between management domains
The port profile is a global setting and allows the user to assign the appropriate
path alarm profile to each of the eight individual connection types:
• terminating and unprotected TU
• terminating and protected TU
• passthrough and unprotected TU
• passthrough and protected TU
• terminating and unprotected AU
• terminating and protected AU
• passthrough and unprotected AU
• passthrough and protected AU
The provisioned path alarm profile is automatically assigned to any
cross-connect that is created using the STM interface.
For detailed procedures on managing port profiles, refer to Trouble Clearing
and Module Replacement Procedures, 323-1855-543.
