Clear The Lof (Ec1) Alarm; Lof (Ocn); Clear The Lof (Ocn) Alarm; Lof (Ststrm) - Cisco ONS 15310-CL Troubleshooting Manual

Chapter 1 Alarm Troubleshooting
The EC1-1 LOF alarm occurs when a port on the reporting EC-1 port has an LOF condition. LOF
indicates that the receiving ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA has lost frame delineation in the
incoming data. LOF occurs when the SONET overhead loses a valid framing pattern for 3 milliseconds.
Receiving two consecutive valid A1/A2 framing patterns clears the alarm.

Verify cabling continuity to the port reporting the alarm. To verify cable continuity, follow site practices.

1.7.135 LOF (OCN)

The LOF alarm occurs when a port on the reporting port has an LOF condition. The alarm indicates that
the receiving ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA has lost frame delineation in the incoming data. LOF
occurs when the SONET overhead loses a valid framing pattern for 3 ms. Receiving two consecutive
valid A1/A2 framing patterns clears the alarm.
When the alarm is raised on an OC-3 or OC-12 port, it is sometimes an indication that the OC-3 or OC-12
port expects a specific line rate and the input line rate source does not match the input line rate of the
optical receiver.
