Network Alarm	Definition
Cell Starvation	Cell Starvation indicates there are no cells being received from the network side.
LOF	Loss Of Framing indicates that the framing alignment of the signal coming
	into the Broadmore 1750 from the ATM side has been lost.
AIS	This alarm indicates an Alarm Indication Signal is being received from the
	network side. When a network element receives a loss of signal, it is
	supposed to propagate an AIS alarm on its output. If this alarm is active, then
	an AIS alarm is being propagated to it. An AIS alarm is a validly framed E3
	signal consisting of a repeated 1010 data pattern.
Idle	An idle alarm means that an idle signal (validly framed E3 signal with a
	repeated 1100 signal) is being detected on the network side.
RAI	The Remote Alarm Indicator (also known as a Yellow Alarm) is transmitted
	by setting the X bits to zero. This particular alarm indicates that a Yellow
	alarm has been sent across the ATM network and is being received by this
	E3 port. In the E3 port configuration screen, you can select the Network
	and Service side RAI as Auto, 1, or 0. Selecting “0” will cause the network
	RAI alarm to be activated, if the user has not selected to Ignore it.
FEAC	Far End Alarm and Control Channel.
Sequence Errors	This alarm indicates that frames are out of sequence as they arrive at the E3
	port.
Excessive SNP Errors	SNP Errors are errors that occur in the Sequence Number Parity portion of the
	E3 frame
Excessive F-bit Errors	The Excessive F-bit Errors alarm is triggered when the E3 port receives
	F-bit errors at a rate of 1 x 10-4
Excessive Parity Errors	The Excessive Parity Errors alarm will be triggered when the E3 port
	receives parity errors at a rate of 1 x 10-4
Excessive C-bit Errors	The Excessive C-bit Errors alarm will be triggered when the E3 port
	receives C-bit errors at a rate of 1 x 10-4
Excessive FEBE Errors	The Excessive FEBE (Far End Block Error) alarm is triggered when the E3
	port receives FEBEs at a rate of 1 x 10-4
