Link incident alerts
A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber-optic link, like the loss of light, invalid sequences,
and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent to the Link Incident Log in the
director ElementManager. LIN alerts warn you that there is a link incident being detected through a
port connection that may require operator intervention to correct.
If LIN alerts are enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, a yellow triangle (attention
indicator) displays by the port connector in the Hardware view and Port Card view and in the Alert
column in the Port List view. Double-clicking on the port in the Port Card view and Port List view with
the yellow triangle displays the Port Properties dialog box.
