alarm can be raised against the optical signal (OC-N) or the optical transport layer overhead (OTN) as well
as other objects. Therefore, both OCN: LOS and OTN: LOS appear in the list (as well as the other objects).
Alarm profile list objects are defined in
Table 11: Alarm Logical Object Type Definitions, on page 110
Alarm logical object names can appear as abbreviated versions of standard terms used in the system and the
documentation. For example, the OCN logical object refers to the OC-N signal. Logical object names or
industry-standard terms are used within the entries as appropriate.
