5.3.3 Alarms
5.3.3.1 Optical Link Alarms
Optical Link alarms at the FIU will occur for various reasons:
1. Remote Node not in service: The Remote Node connected to the specific FIU link is not yet powered
up
2. Remote Node malfunctioning: connected to the specific FIU link is in an error state
3. Fiber issue: The fiber link between the specific FIU and the Remote Node has excessive loss
(possibly due to breakage or to dirty optical connectors)
4. No Remote Node: there is no plan to connect a Remote Node to the FIU (an FIU card supports two
links and one link is not used in this system).
In Figure 41- Main Page Expanded Topology the FIU in slot 3 is indicating an alarm state. Note the following
in Figure 49 Optical Link Alarms:
1. The LED indicator for the FIU in slot 3 is not solid Green
a. A flashing red state indicates an alarm
2. There is a red “balloon” extending from the FIU in slot 3
