Appendix B. Understanding TR-08

The following table explains what conditions trigger alarms and how alarms are processed when received by the TSU 600.

 

Table B-1.Alarm Conditions

 

 

Name

Explanation

 

 

FELP

When the TSU 600 receives a FELP alarm, it will loop

 

the incoming data directly to the outgoing data. LINE

 

ON is placed in history. The alarms and loopback are

 

cleared when FELP is no longer received.

 

 

Loss of Data

The TSU 600 will send MINOR ALARM and the A

 

SHELF ALARM for 2.5s when it quits receiving the

 

data link on the T-Span. It will also report TR-08 DL

 

Down in the history. After 2.5s, MAJOR ALARM, A

 

SHELF ALARM are sent across the Data Link.

 

 

OOF

The TSU will send MINOR ALARM and A SHELF

 

ALARM upon receiving an out-of-frame condition.

 

TR-08 DL Down and RED ALARM are declared in

 

history for severe framing errors. After 2.5s, MAJOR

 

ALARM, A SHELF ALARM are sent across the Data

 

Link.

 

 

Loss of Signal

The TSU 600 will send MINOR ALARM and the A

 

SHELF ALARM for 2.5s when it quits receiving a

 

signal from the far end. It will also report TR-08 DL

 

Down and LOS in the history. After 2.5s, MAJOR

 

ALARM, A SHELF ALARM are sent across the Data

 

Link, and RED ALARM is declared in history.

 

 

BPVs

BPVs that are received at a rate greater than the

 

threshold set under TR-08options, will cause

 

MINOR ALARM and A SHELF ALARM to be sent

 

on the DL. If the BPVs remain above the threshold for

 

2.5s, the TSU 600 will send MAJOR ALARM and on

 

the DL. No events are placed in history.

 

 

Protection

The TSU will not respond to this alarm.
