Alarm Types
The following table lists specific alarm types, severity, and possible causes:
Alarm Type Severity Description
T1 Alarm Critical An alarm condition has been detected on the
specified T1 line, or the signal on the T1 line has
been lost.
T3 Alarm Critical An alarm condition has been detected on the
specified T3 line, or the signal on the T3 line has
been lost.

Fan Down Major The cooling fans have stopped.
Power Down Major The external power source has dropped.
SCC Failover Major The primary SCC has failed, and the secondary SCC
has resumed operation. CVXView generates this
alarm. Although the raising trap is generated on the
CVX 600, it does not recognize this as an alarm
condition. This alarm must be cleared manually on
CVXView (Clear Alarms button).
Link Down Minor The sending protocol entity recognizes a failure in
one of the communication links represented in the
agent’s configuration.
Slot Down Minor Communication has been lost between the indicated
slot and the SCC.

therefore, a loss of signal is declared.
Sonet/SDH
Loss of Frame
Major An OOF/SEF defect has persisted for a period of 3
milliseconds, therefore, a loss of frame is declared.

match the configured value in the SigLabelExpect
attribute.
