About
for PDH notifications

for PDH describes the failures diagnosed for each low-order element in the SDH network.
for PDH cross-correlates with
for SONET/SDH to calculate which root-cause problems are causing symptomatic events and creates notifications for the problem origin. The
uses the relationships in the topology to calculate the impact that a root-cause problem in one element has on the elements and services that are connected to, or depend on it.
When the
receives alarms that relate to connections to elements that it does not manage, the
performs special analysis to determine if a problem has occurred in the connected network. This is described in “Diagnosis of external failure” on page 80.
