Table 21 Description on the fields of the display controller t3 command

Field

Description

No message is sent now.

No MDL message is being sent. If an MDL message, path or idle-signal for example, was being sent, the screen would display “Message sent now: path. idle signal.”

Message data elements

MDL data elements

EIC: line, LIC: line, FIC: line, UNIT: line

EIC, LIC, FIC, and UNIT are four elements present in all

 

types of MDL messages. Their values are user

 

configurable and default to line.

FI: line, PORT_NO: line, GEN_NO: line

FI is found in MDL path messages, PORT_NO in MDL

 

idle signal messages, and GEN_NO in MDL test signal

 

messages. Their values are user configurable and

 

default to line.

Periodical detection

State of periodical detection of MDL, disabled by

 

default at the startup of the router.

 

When the function is enabled, the screen displays:

 

Periodical detection is enabled.

 

No message was received.

 

When MDL messages are detected, the screen

 

displays:

 

Message received now: path.idle signal.

 

EIC: line, LIC: line, FIC: line, UNIT: line

 

path/FI: line

FEAC state

No code is sent now. DS3 Line Loop Back Deactivate was last sent.

Periodical detection is enabled, no code received now.

idle Signal/PORT_NO: line

FEAC state

No FEAC signal is sent. The FEAC signal sent last time is DS3 Line Loop Back Deactivate.

Periodical detection of FEAC is enabled. This is the default applied at the startup of the router.

No FEAC signal is received now.

DS3 Line Loop Back Deactivate last

The FEAC signal received last time is DS3 Line Loop

received.

Back Deactivate.

BERT state:(stopped, not completed)

BERT state: completed, stopped (not completed), or

 

running.

Test pattern: 2^7, Status: Not Sync,

Test pattern in use (such as 2^7, 2^11, 2^15, and

Sync Detected: 0

QRSS), 2^7 in this sample output; synchronization

 

state, and the number of detected synchronizations

Time: 0 minute(s), Time past: 0

The duration of the BERT test and the time that has

minute(s)

elapsed

Bit errors (since test started): 0 bits

Number of bit errors received since the start of the

 

BERT test

Bits received (since test started)

Number of bits received since the start of the BERT test

Bit errors (since latest sync)

Number of bit errors received since last

 

synchronization

Bits received (since latest sync)

Number of bits received since last synchronization

Historical Statistics

Historical statistics

Last clearing of counters

Time when last counter clearing is performed, for

 

example, 14:39:02 UTC Sat 06/25/2005. If no clearing
