1.7.73 FE-AIS
The Far-End AIS condition occurs when an AIS has occurred at the far-end node. FE-AIS usually occurs
in conjunction with a downstream LOS alarm (see the
Generally, an AIS is a special SONET signal that tells the receiving node that the sending node has no
valid signal available to send. AIS is not considered an error. The AIS condition is raised by the receiving
node on each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is
raised, an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it
only raise some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolve the problem on the upstream node.

1.7.74 FE-DS1-MULTLOS
The Far-End Multiple DS-1 LOS Detected condition occurs when multiple DS-1 signals are lost on a
far-end 15310-CL-CTX, ONS 15310-MA DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3, or ONS 15310-MA DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3
DS-1 port.
The prefix FE means the main alarm is occurring at the far-end node and not at the node reporting the
FE-DS1-MULTLOS condition. Troubleshoot the FE alarm or condition by troubleshooting the main
alarm at its source. The secondary alarms or conditions clear when the main alarm clears.
Clear the FE-DS1-MULTLOS Condition
To troubleshoot an FE condition, determine which node and card link directly to the port reporting the
