alarms at the card, node, or network level. Default alarm severities conform to the Telcordia GR-474-CORE standard, but you can
set alarm severities in customized alarm profiles or suppress CTC alarm reporting. For a detailed description of the standard Telcordia
categories employed by Optical Networking System (ONS) nodes, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide .

Alarm Counts on the LCD for a Node, Slot, or Port
You can view node, slot, or port-level alarm counts and summaries using the buttons on the ONS 15454 LCD panel. The Slot and
Port buttons toggle between display types; the Slot button toggles between node display and slot display, and the Port button toggles
between slot and port views. Pressing the Status button after you choose the display mode changes the display from alarm count to

Port buttons toggle between display types; the Slot button toggles between node display and slot display, and the Port button toggles

The ONS 15454 has a one-button update for some commonly viewed alarm counts. If you press the Slot button once and then wait
eight seconds, the display automatically changes from a slot alarm count to a slot alarm summary. If you press the Port button to
toggle to port-level display, you can use the Port button to toggle to a specific slot and to view each port’s port-level alarm count.
