2.6.149 MS-DEG
Generally, any AIS is a special SDH signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit
node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It 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 resolved the problem on the upstream node.

The Multiplex Section Signal Degrade condition occurs when the multiplex section overhead of the
STMN object falls within the degrade threshold set on the node.
Clear the MS-DEG Condition
Determine the threshold. If adjustment is acceptable in site practices, adjust the threshold.
Step 1
Using an optical test set, measure the input power level of the line and ensure that the level is within the
guidelines. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.
Verify the input fiber cable connections to the reporting card.
Step 2
Clean the input fiber cable ends according to site practice.
