This chapter describes the Fault Management system on the CDM used to view alarms generated by the physical entities containing the chassis, slots, modules and ports. The agent sends notifications, which are recognized by CEMF, and alarms are raised on the objects. Tables list the alarms associated with objects.
To view the objects that propagated the alarm, select the Severity On option from the Severity menu.
An alarm will generate a fault. To view a fault:
Step 1 Right click on the object that generated the alarm, a drop down list appears.
Step 2 Place the cursor on the Open Event Browser option and release the mouse button. The Event Browser screen appears:

The following information appears:
Displays the name of the object/physical entity that generated the alarm.
Displays the system time when the alarm was generated.
Each alarm type defined by a vendor type employed by the system has an associated severity. This object specifies the severity of the alarm generated.
A colored square appears to the left-hand-side of the Object Name. The color of the square depends on the severity of the alarm.
Displays the description that is associated with the alarm.
| Severity | Description | Notes |
Minor | A module was inserted in the slot that did not match the type that was pre-provisioned for the slot |
|
Major | Card missing from a provisioned slot |
|
Major | A module has been detected but it is not communicating with the system control processor | >R1 |
Minor | A module is detected in this slot but it is not a valid module for this slot or is invalid for the system configuration |
|
| Severity | Description | Notes |
Major | An over temperature conditions has been detected. This is measured on the NI-2 card |
|
TBD | An alarm has been detected on the station alarm 1 input | >R1 |
TBD | An alarm has been detected on the station alarm 2 input | >R1 |
TBD | An alarm has been detected on the station alarm 3 input | >R1 |
Minor | A single fan has failed | The power module will force the fan fans to full speed upon seeing one or more fan faults. This will occur independent of SW. |
Major | Multiple fans have failed | The power module will force the fan fans to full speed upon seeing one or more fan faults. This will occur independent of SW. |
Major | One or both of the fan trays have been removed or are missing |
|
Minor | The power module is not detected by the NI-2. This will only occur if the Power Module has been provisioned. | >R1 |
Minor | The power module installed does not match the provisioned type | >R1 |
Major | The two power units installed are not compatible | >R1 |
NA | The circuit breaker on the power module has tripped due to an over-current fault | this condition triggers a separate (from critical/major/minor) relay contact closure. It will not be signalled through any other means (no SNMP or LED indicators) |
Major | The input voltage to one or both of the power modules is outside of its acceptable range |
|
Major | The current through one or both of the power modules is excessive. |
|
Major | The fan output voltage from one or both of the power modules is outside of its acceptable range |
|
Major | One or both of the power units are reporting a fault condition. The fault is either over temp, output failure or input failure. |
|
Major | The power supply is over its temperature limit |
|
| Severity | Description | Notes |
Info | Module was detected (Module software was loaded) |
|
Minor | Module reset unexpectedly |
|
| Severity | Description | Notes |
Minor | ATU-C port failure |
|
Minor | Upstream Rate not above Min_rate |
|
Minor | Downstream Rate not above Min_rate |
|
Minor | The modem is reporting an near end LOS, LOF, or LOCD or a far end LPR failure. | This only occurs if the line is enabled to alarm on failures. |
| Severity | Description | Notes |
Major | Loss of timing reference |
|
| Various buffer overflows | >R1 |
| Severity | Description | Notes |
Critical | SONET: Loss of Cell Delineation |
|
Minor | SONET: Incorrect Payload type Signal Label Mismatch |
|
Critical | SONET: Path RDI received. This is equivalent to Path FERF |
|
Critical | SONET: Path AIS received |
|
Critical | SONET: Loss of Pointer condition |
|
Critical | SONET: Line RDI received. This is equivalent to Line FERF |
|
Critical | SONET: Line AIS received |
|
Critical | SONET: Loss of Frame condition |
|
Critical | SONET: Loss of Signal detected by SONET device |
|
Critical | The OC3 (if this is a OC3 module) or STM1 (if this is an STM1 module) port has failed. | >R1 |
