SQUELCHED
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Objects: 2R, ESCON, FC, GE, ISC, OCN/STMN, TRUNK
The Client Signal Squelched condition is raised by a TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_C,
TXP_MR_10E_L, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, MXP_2.5G_10G, MXP_2.5G_10E, MXP_2.5G_10E_C,
MXP_2.5G_10E_L, MXP_MR_2.5G, MXPP_MR_2.5G, GE-XP, 10GE-XP, AR_MXP, AR_XP, AR_XPE,
ADM-10G, and OTU2_XP card.
The condition can be raised in the following situations:
• An MXP or TXP client facility detects that an upstream receive facility has experienced a loss of signal
(such as an Ethernet CARLOSS, DWDM SIGLOSS, or optical LOS). In response, the facility transmit
is turned off (SQUELCHED). The upstream receive facilities are the trunk receive on the same card as
the client, as well as the client receive on the card at the other end of the trunk span.
• The client will squelch if the upstream trunk receive (on the same card) experiences a SIGLOSS, Ethernet
CARLOSS, LOS, or LOS (TRUNK) alarm. In some transparent modes, the client is squelched if the
trunk detects an AIS condition or a TIM alarm.
• The client will squelch if the upstream client receive (on the card at the other end of the DWDM span)
experiences CARLOSS, SIGLOSS, or LOS.
In an example situation, an upstream MXP_2.5G_10G client port receive experiences a loss of light, and this
port raises CARLOSS, SIGLOSS, or LOS (determined by the payload type) locally.
The local client raises SQUELCHED if it also raises one of the following alarms for the client, all of which
are signalled by the upstream node:
•
•
•
•
On the MXP_MR_10G, the local client raises a SQUELCHED condition if the upstream client detects one
of the following alarms. Note that no corresponding local alarm is raised to indicate which of these conditions
is present upstream.
• LOS for the clients including the
alarm, the
alarm,
and the
alarm
• CARLOSS for the clients including the
alarm, the
alarm, and the
alarm
The local client raises a SQUELCHED condition if the local trunk raises one of the following alarms:
