14.4.86 MEA (EQPT)
•
Critical, Service-Affecting
The mismatch between entity/equipment type and provisioned attributes (MEA) alarm occurs when the
physical card inserted in a slot does not match the card type that is provisioned for that slot in CTC. The
alarm clears when the provisioned card type and the physical card type match.
Procedure: Clear the MEA Alarm
Step 1
Physically verify the type of card that sits in the slot reported in the object column of the MEA row on
the alarms window.
Step 2
Click the
Inventory
tab to reveal the provisioned card type.
Step 3
If you prefer the card type depicted by CTC, physically insert that type of card (provisioned for that slot).
Step 4
If you prefer the card that physically occupies the slot, put the cursor over the provisioned card in CTC
and right-click to choose
Delete Card
.
The card that physically occupies the slot reboots, and CTC automatically provisions the card type into
that slot.
Note
If the card is in service, has a circuit mapped to it, is paired in a working protection scheme, has
DCC communications turned on, or is used as a timing reference, then CTC does not allow you
to delete the card.

On the node view, click the
Circuits
tab.
b.
