Clear the RLS Condition

Step 1

To clear the RLS condition on

OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE

cards, perform the following steps:

a) Disconnect the LINE-RX port cable.
b) Clean all the optical connectors from LINE RX to the customer fiber distribution panel through all the patch panels.

To do this, perform the task "NTP-G115 Clean Fiber Connectors" in the Hardware Installation Guide.

c) Reconnect the LINE-RX port cable. Wait five minutes for the Raman link restart procedure to be completed on

OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE cards.

If the RLS condition does not clear, replace the optical cable connected to the LINE-RX port. Repeat Step 1b . If the RLS
condition persists, call the Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447) to open a Return Material Authorization (RMA) case.

Step 2

To clear the RLS condition on
