Table D-253 Field Descriptions for the Quality of Service Tab

Field

Description

 

 

FEC Counters

 

 

 

Errored Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC errored seconds (ES) and the alarm severity

 

level.

 

 

Severely Errored Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC severely errored seconds (SES) and the alarm

 

severity level.

 

 

Background Block Errors

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC background block errors (BBE) and the alarm

 

severity level.

 

 

Unavailable Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC unavailable seconds (UAS) and the alarm

 

severity level. The detection of 10 consecutive SES begins a period of UAS. The 10 SES

 

detected are part of the UAS. The ES and SES counters decrement by 10 seconds and the

 

UAS counter increments by an equivalent number of seconds. A new period of available

 

time begins at the onset of 10 consecutive non-SES events.

 

 

Error Corrected Rate

Sets the high threshold for the bit error corrected rate (ECR) and the alarm severity level.

 

The ECR is the ratio of FEC bit errors corrected to bits transmitted.

 

 

Uncorrected Codewords Rate

Sets the high threshold for the uncorrected codeword rate (UCR) and the alarm severity

 

level. The UCR is the ratio of uncorrected codewords to codewords transmitted. A codeword

 

is a block of N symbols that carry K information symbols and R redundant symbols (N =

 

K+R).

 

 

D.5.2.5 Current Tab

The Current tab allows you to assign thresholds and alarm severities for the transponder laser current levels.

Table D-254 Field Descriptions for the Current Tab

Field

Description

 

 

Value

When the Update button is clicked, displays the current value of the laser current.

 

 

Degrade

Sets the degrade threshold for the laser current (in mA) and the alarm severity level.

 

 

Fail

Sets the failure threshold for the laser current (in mA) and the alarm severity level.

 

 

D.5.2.6 Power Tab

 

The Power tab allows you to assign thresholds and alarm severities for the transponder Laser 1 power

 

levels.

Table D-255

Field Descriptions for the Power Tab

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Value

When the Update button is clicked, displays the current power of Laser 1.

 

 

Low

Sets the low threshold for the laser power (in mW) and the alarm severity level.

 

 

High

Sets the high threshold for the laser power (in mW) and the alarm severity level.
