General Troubleshooting 1.1.2 Terminal Loopbacks FC_MR-4 card facility loopbacks behave differently from other ONS 15454 cards. With a client-side facility loopback, the client port service state is OOS-MA,LPBK & MT; however the remaining client and trunk ports can be in any other service state.

Page 195 The CTC default alarm profile in some cases contains two severities for one alarm (for example, Note MJ/MN). The ONS 15454 platform default severity comes first (in this example, MJ), but the alarm can be demoted to the second severity in the presence of a higher-ranking alarm. This is in accordance with Telcordia GR-474.
