Chapter 14 Alarm Troubleshooting
Alarm Procedures
The far end idle (FE-IDLE) condition means a far-end node detects an idle DS-3 signal. The prefix FE
in an alarm/condition means that the main alarm is occurring at the far-end node, not the node reporting
this FE-IDLE alarm. Troubleshoot the FE alarm/condition by troubleshooting the main alarm at its
source. Both alarms clear when the main alarm clears.
Procedure: Clear the FE-IDLE Condition on the XTC28-3 Card in C-bit Format
Step 1
To troubleshoot the FE alarm/condition, determine which node and card link directly to the card
reporting the FE alarm.
Step 2
Login to the node that links directly to the card reporting the FE alarm/condition.
Step 3
Clear the main alarm.
