OPTI-3 error message

[e0051723]

receiving a "Manual Abnormal (MAN) condition" alarm on the CPE end of a ptp DS3... searched most of the online documentation and can't seem to find an actual description of what this means.... anyone know?

[tmccarley]

MAN alarm is an Alert that the Working OC3 and/or Protect OC3 is in an Out of Service, Maintenance State, to clear that alarm you would just put the OC3 In Service.

Out Of Service, Maintenance is a Service state used to allow Loopbacks, and inhibit Critical or Major Alarms. Payload Data will still pass when in that state.
