Alarm

 

H2TU-C DS1 ALARMS (see Figure 21 on page 33)

LLOS (a)

LLOS

Line (Unit) Loss of Signal—Loss of the H2TU-C DSX-1 input signal.

LAIS (a)

LAIS

Line Alarm Indication Signal—Indicates an AIS (unframed all ones) pattern is being received at the

 

 

H2TU-C DS1 input port.

DBER

xxx-DBER

Bit Error Rate—The DS1 BER has exceeded the built-in 24-hour threshold limits of approximately

 

 

10-6. (xxx denotes either TUC or TUR.)

LOF

LOF

Loss of Frame—Indicates the incoming DS1 payload does not contain the specific frame pattern,

 

 

ESF or SF, selected by the FRMG option. Only occurs if the FRMG option is set to SF or ESF.

 

 

 

H2TU-R DS1 ALARMS (see Figure 22 on page 33)

RLOS (b)

RLOS

Remote (Unit) Loss of Signal—Loss of the H2TU-R DS1 input signal.

RAIS

RAIS

Remote Alarm Indication Signal—Indicates an AIS (unframed all ones) pattern is being received at

 

 

the H2TU-R DS1 input port. By default (see Figure 26 on page 42) AIS-CI (b)is sent towards the

 

 

network.

RAI

RRAI

Remote RAI - Remote Alarm Indication at the H2TU-R—Indicates an RAI alarm (yellow) from the

 

 

CPE with errors from the line unit or network.

LRAI

LRAI

Line (Unit) RAI - Remote Alarm Indication at the H2TU-R—Indicates an RAI alarm (yellow) from the

 

 

CPE with an error-free signal from the line unit or network. RAI signal is transmitted towards the

 

 

network.

PRM-NE

PRMN

Performance Report Messaging - Near End—The count of the PRM-NE register at the H2TU-R

 

 

exceeds the 10-6BER threshold at 648 events since 12:00:00 AM.

PRM-FE

PRMF

Performance Report Messaging - Far End—The count of the PRM-FE register at the H2TU-R exceeds

 

 

the 10-6BER threshold at 648 events since 12:00:00 AM.

DBER

xxx-DBER

Bit Error Rate—The DS1 BER has exceeded the built-in 24-hour threshold limits of approximately

 

 

10-6. (xxx denotes either TUC or TUR.)

LOF

LOF

Loss of Frame—Indicates the incoming DS1 payload does not contain the specific frame pattern,

 

 

ESF or SF, selected by the FRMG option. Only occurs if the FRMG option is set to SF or ESF.

 

 

 

(a)Issues a minor alarm (sent to the management unit or the backplane), if enabled.

(b)AIS-CI is a modified AIS alarm pattern. Equipment not suited to detect AIS-CI still detects this signal as an AIS. AIS-CI is sent toward the network indicating that an LOS (RLOS) or AIS (RAIS) has been received from the CPE.
