Core Issue
The alarm light on the Wan Interface Card (WIC) is lit. This indicates a network issue. These are the alarm codes:
- Red alarm - loss of network signal
- Blue Alarm - loss of network frame
- Yellow Alarm - receive from network
Resolution
The alarm LED usually indicates a problem with the line.
The status of the WIC can be seen in the output of the show service-module [serial 0|1] command:
R13#show service-module s1/0

The WIC can be tested by issuing the test service-module command, as shown in the following example:
R13#test service-module s1/0
SERVICE_MODULE(Serial1/0): Performing service-module self test
R13#
5d01h: SERVICE_MODULE(Serial1/0): self test finished: Passed
For additional information on the WIC-1DSU-T1, refer to the Feature Overview section of 1-Port DSU/CSU T1 WIC for the Cisco 1700, Cisco 2600, Cisco 3600, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers.
If the module fails the self test, the problem is a hardware issue.
When a hardware replacement is indicated after troubleshooting, choose from the following options:
- If you have a hardware support contract directly with Cisco for this part, use the Service Order Submit Tool to request a replacement part directly.
