PPM

The TXP or MXP card port number.

Service State

An autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. Port service states include:

  • IS-NR-(In-Service and Normal) The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

  • OOS-AU,AINS-(Out-Of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service) The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in OOS-AU,AINS state for the duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to IS-NR.

  • OOS-MA,DSBLD-(Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled) The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

  • OOS-MA,MT-(Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance) The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

Additional secondary states that might appear include:

  • UAS-(Unassigned) The PPM is not provisioned in the database.

  • UEQ-(Unequipped) The PPM is not physically present.

  • MEA-(Mismatch of Equipment and Attributes) Improper equipment is installed.
