Trouble Characterizations

The NCS DWDM system reports trouble by utilizing standard alarm and condition characteristics, standard
severities following the rules in Telcordia GR-253-CORE, and graphical user interface (GUI) state indicators.
These notifications are described in the following paragraphs.
The System uses standard Telcordia categories to characterize levels of trouble. The system reports trouble
notifications as alarms and status or descriptive notifications (if configured to do so) as conditions in the CTC
Alarms window. Alarms typically signify a problem that the user needs to remedy, such as a loss of signal.
Conditions do not necessarily require troubleshooting.
