BDIEGR

BDIEGR (Egress Backward Defect Indication - ODU)

The OT port has detected a Backward Defect Indication at the OTUk Section layer

transmitting out of the client port. This defect indicates that the peer OTUk port has

detected a condition that is treated as Server Signal Failure (conditions such as LOS, LOF

or LOM would contribute to SSF).

This may be caused by the following reasons:

• A misconnected, damaged or dirty fiber on the trail between the local OTUk port

transmitter and the far end receiver

• OTS/OMS layer failure on the OCh trail

• The received power may not be within the acceptable range on the Far end input

Applicability

Corrective Action

This procedure details the corrective action for a BDIEGR against the OT port. At the end

of each step wait to see if the fault clears. If not, continue with the next step.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Check the alarms/conditions along the OCh trail.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Identify the farthest upstream alarm/condition relative to the far end OTUk port.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Follow the procedure for clearing the identified alarm/condition.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

If the peer OTUk port is in a client domain (this would be the case when BDI is detected

on a client OT port provisioned as OTU2), request corrective action by client operators.
