New Features and Functionality
If alarms are suppressed, they do not appear on the CTC Alarm screen. On the History and Conditions
screens a message states that the alarm or alarms are suppressed. The node sends out autonomous
messages to clear any raised alarms. When alarm suppression is turned off, the node sends out
autonomous messages to raise any suppressed alarms.
Alarm Profiles
The ONS 15327 includes an alarm profile feature. This allows you to change the default alarm severities
(for example, change an alarm severity from minor to major) and apply the new severities at the card,
port, node, or network level.
Default Reporting of AIS and RFI
To improve compliance with Telcordia GR-253, Release 3.0.x reports AIS and RFI failures as not
alarmed (NA). These will appear on the conditions pane only. Users can change this default with the
Alarm Profile feature described in the
Figure 2
Every alarm has a default profile. To create a new profile, clone the default profile in CTC, rename it, and
choose the severity settings for the new profile. Activating and changing profiles are simple procedures in
CTC.
