Health Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Alarm usability enhancements

• Ability to set the default severity of alarm names per organization.
• Support for excluding alarms from the real time view by default per organization, while allowing the exclusions to be overridden by the user with persistence.
• Ability to manually acknowledge/un-acknowledge alarm instances, where acknowledged alarms are filtered out from the real time alarm feed only.
• Ability to manually suppress (shelve) alarm instances from the real time and active alarms lists.
• Alarm table displays the number of impacted subscribers for ont-missing and loss-of-pon alarms.
• Geo Map View:
  • Supports filtering alarms by region, location, system, FSAN, and system type.
  • Provides a toggle switch to hide healthy systems, allowing the BSP to view all systems or only systems with alarms.
  • Includes a legend to distinguish OLT, ONU, and other devices.

Configurable health monitoring thresholds

• Supports ability to set OLT interface and ONT health monitoring threshold crossing alerts (TCAs) per organization.
• Displays notifications for threshold crossing events, viewable from the Issues > Historical reports page.

Network and Services Automation Workflow

Workflow enhancements

• Supports ability to:
  • Reorder existing workflow operations via drag-and-drop, facilitating easy updates of on-discovery workflows including software upgrade tasks.
  • Export workflow results to a CSV file, allowing the BSP to act on results outside Calix Cloud.
  • Delete system groups that still contain member systems, simplifying workflow group management.
  • Automatically apply voice profiles to discovered systems without using a workflow—even when voice service is not pre-provisioned on a system.

CCL-51919

For AE ports, transmit counters reflect the downstream direction and receive counters reflect the upstream direction.

CCL-51250

The search bar on the System Groups page does not:

• Display partial results as you type. Workaround: Click the magnifying glass to view results.
• Provide an option to clear the search. Workaround: Manually delete text from the search bar.

CCL-49238

When replacing a GPON RG associated with an EXA OLT, delete the old RG from the subscriber and then perform a force sync operation.

CCL-49007

ONT auto-delete does not occur when moving an ONT from one RG to another RG. Workaround: Disconnect the ONT cable from the RG and then manually delete the ONT from the UI.

CCL-48726

When replacing the ONT in a two box solution, you must manually disassociate and delete the ONT from the subscriber.

CCL-45260

When both an ont-missing alarm schedule (separately or combined with other alarms) and a transform alarm schedule are created, Operations Cloud only monitors and emails an alarm report for the transformed alarm.

CCL-44758

When the USOC for an existing subscriber service is replaced, immediately followed by a connection error with the OLT, the data plan may not be updated.

CCL-44562

When an ONT resets, the ONT Health Timeseries chart displays gaps in the lines which may not align, as some data is binned while other data is running time.

CCL-44061

Operations Cloud ONT health does not report ONT RX power levels for 760-series ONTs because those ONTs do not report RX power level.

CCL-43051

When moving an existing subscriber from an Ethernet policy-map to an IP policy-map in SMx prior to provisioning services in Operations Cloud on the same VLAN, you must manually delete the Ethernet policy-map applied to the VLAN, which impacts ONTs using the VLAN.

CCL-42701

The Alarm Status displayed on the Systems > Network Systems page may not be accurate because the CMS probe synchronizes alarms irrespective of the CMS and/or EXA OLT state in Operations Cloud.

CCL-40774

After adding a new ONT via CMS/EXA, the health KPIs may not display in Operations Cloud within 24 hours as expected. Workaround: Wait one more day for CMS to sync with Operations Cloud.

CCL-40773

Operations Cloud provisions the 803Gv2 as an 844G on E7 EXA systems because there is no 803Gv2 profile in EXA.

CCL-40042,
CCL-40797

Disabling the data service via Operations Cloud on an RG loaded with a firmware version below R21.4 affects the TR-069 connection to Calix Cloud. Workaround: Do not disable the data service from Operations Cloud. If this occurs, factory reset the RG to bring it back online.

CCL-35654

When an ONT fiber is unplugged for less than 15 minutes with the power on, then re-connected, the AXOS OLT may report uptime continuously, causing the Health page to report an uptime larger than 900 seconds in 15 minutes.

CCL-51719

The transform alarm detail provides the user ID information rather than the ONT location.

CCL-49584

When the service provisioning process triggers a delete or update of a VLAN membership, a "ReadTimeout:while POST" error may display and the service may not successfully complete for a long period of time.

CCL-49490

If an EXA OLT is disconnected within 4 hours after syncing with CCO, IPFIX does not sync until the daily inventory sync occurs.

CCL-49392

Performing a manual redundancy switchover from an E7 OLT immediately after establishing a Call Home connection with Operations Cloud may cause ONT service provisioning in a pending state to fail.

CCL-48672

After connecting to a CMS/EXA OLT and syncing all existing active alarms, the current OLT alarms do not display in the Geo Map.

CCL-48611

In transform alarm reports, the source strings include internal values.

CCL-48474

After deleting the CMS from Operations Cloud, EXA systems associated with the CMS may show a communication status of DELETE_IN_PROGRESS continuously.

CCL-47828

If the region or location is changed after pausing an alarm notification schedule, the notification trigger sets to immediate and cannot be updated.

CCL-46376

After moving an integrated ONT from an AXOS OLT to an EXA OLT, the ONT is not deleted from AXOS and therefore the ONT status does not update in Operations Cloud.

CCL-45616

Operations Cloud does not support querying ONT health data by ONT ID.

CCL-45574

Operations Cloud does not support configuring a static IP address on a single-system ONT such as an 844G or u6x.

CCL-44715

From the Health > ONT tab, the ONTs With Low Light Levels KPI and corresponding charts do not display data.

CCL-44144

Operations Cloud does not support service configuration via RG profiles.

CCL-41044

From the Traffic > Locations page, selecting 'All' for the location filter generates different results for real time traffic and reports.

CCL-39649,
CCL-40451

Operations Cloud does not support using the same VLAN across different service templates.

CCL-38262

The Traffic Usage Insights API call does not return the correct schema.

CCL-53068

Deploying a new end-to-end service in Operations Cloud causes the original service from the billing data to be overridden, affecting subscriber visibility in Calix Marketing Cloud and Calix Support Cloud.

CCL-53057

After increasing the flow configuration real-time delay, the Top 5 Endpoints chart displays no data and the rate drops to zero in Traffic > Real Time page until refreshed.

CCL-52184

After successfully connecting to Operations Cloud via Call Home, it may take up to 5 minutes for the OLT pushpin with the total number of alarms to display in the Issues > Real Time > Map View. Workaround: Use the Table View.

CCL-52156

The alarm notification email report does not reflect that an alarm has been manually acknowledged and shelved.

CCL-51841

After acknowledging and clearing an EXA alarm, a new instance of the same alarm will be auto-acknowledged in the detailed alarm summary available from the Issues > Active Reports page.

CCL-50188

After setting a custom alarm severity, the Alarms by Severity historical report shows an incorrect alarm count.

CCL-52841

Operations Cloud VLAN interface provisioning may fail due to a time-out if the target AXOS system software version is AXOS-R22.2.0 or earlier. Workaround: Manually pre-provision the VLAN interface from the AXOS system CLI and then trigger a Force Sync from Operations Cloud.

CCL-52637

After deleting the RG association from a two-box model where Operations Cloud auto-mapped the ONT to the subscriber record, the subscriber record cannot be deleted.

CCL-52424

Data does not display in the one-minute Network Traffic report for a flow that arrives late.

CCL-52157

For a GPON ONT connected to an E7-2 XG801 line card, the ONT/OLT "Rx Light Level for GPON" thresholds do not work but the ONT/OLT "Rx Light Level for XGS-PON" thresholds work.

CCL-52094

After provisioning services from Operations Cloud, the NGPON2-4 card has very slow speed test results due to the IP policy map not allowing the expected throughput.

CCL-51907

The numbers of OLT alarms in the Geo Map View does not update after an alarm is shelved.

CCL-51830

The Ethernet port loss-of-signal alarm does not trigger the subscriber impact field to be populated (when attached to an AE ONT). As a result, the subscriber impact chart in the landing page may be off for AE ONTs.

CCL-51720

The "New Connected and Synchronized Systems" counter on the Home page shows a frequent change in connection status due to SOAP fault tolerance control issues.

CCL-51598

The AXOS E9-2 ASM3001 system does not display in the Geo Map View.

CCL-51241

From the Issues page, the AE ONT Dropped and NTWK Dropped alarms do not display for the:

• Real Time > Exclude Alarms filter.
• Active Reports > Alarm Name filter.

CCL-49568

On occasion, an AXOS PON interface that does not exceed the 40% throughput threshold may be counted as a PON capacity hit.

CCL-49357

The multiple-ONTs-down-network alarm report does not list all affected regions/locations under the Resource field.

CCL-49291

The OLT/ONT alarm number in the Issues > Alarm Map View updates after a delay of ~5 minutes following a newly triggered alarm, causing a mismatch with the Active Reports.

CCL-46854

When replacing or connecting a new AE ONT, more than one timeseries chart displays in the Health page for the same ONT.

CCL-44635

Service provisioning is incompatible with type-B PON protection on both EXA and AXOS systems. Service provisioning will not complete and Operations Cloud will not update the PON port name on the status page when a type-B PON failover occurs.

CCL-43513

Configuring a subscriber data service with a L2 static host does not enable IP Source Verification on the VLAN. Workaround: After configuring the static host, manually configure the source-verify VLAN setting from the network system CLI.

CCL-42790

When an ONT name that uses the account ID format is updated in Operations Cloud, the AXOS system continues using the original ONT name.

CCL-41147

Service provisioning cannot be deleted when associated to an XGS ONT with a Reg ID longer than 10 characters. Workaround: Configure a Reg ID consisting of 10 or fewer characters.

CCL-41139

Updating the data service associated with a two box deployment from DHCPv4 to dual stack inadvertently removes the default WAN setting from a GigaFamily RG.

CCL-41100

When provisioning an IPv6-only service, Operations Cloud enables both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces for TR069, so the web-UI of the RG will indicate the WAN is provisioned for both IPv4 and v6.

CCL-40919,
CCL-41082

After updating the bandwidth tier profile for an existing data service via the API or GUI, the new bandwidth is not applied.

CCL-40446,
CCL-41053

The length of the ONT Reg ID is limited to 10 or fewer characters.

CCL-39609

It is not possible to provision a service where the VLAN is tagged between the ONT and RG when the ONT and RG are two separate systems.

CCL-39566

On the Health page, the Total PON and Total ONT counts do not immediately change after adding or deleting and EXA/ONT in an existing CMS region. Workaround: Wait 24 hours or perform an on-demand inventory sync from CMS.

CCL-39056

For services to come up, AXOS OLTs must bring up the l2-dhcp-profile name as CCO_L2_DHCP_PROFILE before calling home.

CCL-35838

After changing the transport type on an interface from PON to GPON, the Health page displays upstream/downstream capacity for a PON interface rather than a GPON interface.
