Note
Caution If a CARLOSS alarm repeatedly appears and clears on an Ethernet manual cross -connect, the two
Ethernet circuits may have a circuit-size mismatch. For example, a circuit size of STS-1 might have been
configured on the first ONS 15327 and circuit size of STS-3c might have been configured on the second
ONS 15327. To troubleshoot this occurrence of the CARLOSS alarm, refer to
