Alarm Troubleshooting
The ODUK-TIM-PM condition applies to TXP cards and MXP cards when ITU-T G.709 encapsulation is
enabled for the cards. It indicates that there is an error upstream in the optical transport unit overhead of the
digital wrapper.
ITU-T G.709 encapsulation refers to a digital data wrapper that is transparent across networking standards
such as SONET and protocols (such as Ethernet or IP). For information about provisioning the TXP card or
MXP card to enable ITU-T G.709 encapsulation, refer to the Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards
chapter in the Configuration guide.
Clear the ODUK-TIM-PM Condition
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Complete the Clear the TIM-P Condition procedure located in the Alarm Troubleshooting chapter of the
Troubleshooting guide.
DETAILED STEPS
Complete the Clear the TIM-P Condition procedure located in the Alarm Troubleshooting chapter of the Troubleshooting
guide.
If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at
for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).
OPEN-SLOT
Default Severity: Minor (MN)
Logical Object: SHELF
The Open Slot alarm is raised when an empty slot is detected in a chassis. Empty slots in a chassis lead to
thermal failures due to increased temperature of the line cards. Use passive cards such as fillers to prevent air
leakage in the chassis.
Note
It is recommended to use filler cards to fill in the empty slots. Blank cards are not detected by the software.
Clear the OPEN-SLOT Alarm
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Use filler cards to fill the empty slots. Blank cards are not detected by the software. For more details about
the filler cards, see the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Hardware Installation Guide.
