For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration
Guide.
Note
Clear the PDI-P Condition
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
Verify that all circuits terminating in the reporting card are DISCOVERED:
2.
After determining that the circuit is DISCOVERED, ensure that the signal source to the card reporting
the alarm is working.
3.
If traffic is affected, complete the
procedure.
4.
Recreate the circuit with the correct circuit size. Refer to the Create Circuits and VT Tunnels chapter in
the Configuration guide for detailed procedures to create circuits.
5.
If circuit deletion and re-creation does not clear the condition, verify that there is no problem stemming
from the far-end OC-N card providing STS payload to the reporting card.
6.
If the condition does not clear, confirm the cross-connect between the OC-N card and the reporting card.
7.
If the condition does not clear, clean the far-end optical fiber according to site practice. If no site practice
exists, complete the procedure in the Maintain the Node chapter of the Configuration guide.
8.
If the condition does not clear, complete the
Physically Replace a Card, on page 453
procedure for the
optical/electrical cards.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Verify that all circuits terminating in the reporting card are DISCOVERED:
a) Click the
Circuits
tab.
b) Verify that the
Status
column lists the circuit as active.
c) If the Status column lists the circuit as PARTIAL, wait 10 minutes for the NCS to initialize fully. If the PARTIAL
status does not change after full initialization, call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-247).
Step 2
After determining that the circuit is DISCOVERED, ensure that the signal source to the card reporting the alarm is
working.
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered NCS. Plug the wristband
cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.
Caution
Step 3
If traffic is affected, complete the
procedure.
Deleting a circuit can affect existing traffic.
Caution
Step 4
Recreate the circuit with the correct circuit size. Refer to the Create Circuits and VT Tunnels chapter in the Configuration
guide for detailed procedures to create circuits.
Step 5
If circuit deletion and re-creation does not clear the condition, verify that there is no problem stemming from the far-end
OC-N card providing STS payload to the reporting card.
Step 6
If the condition does not clear, confirm the cross-connect between the OC-N card and the reporting card.
