Field

 

Description

 

 

Background Block Errors

Sets the high threshold for the number of B1 background block errors (BBE) and the alarm

 

 

severity level. An errored block is a block in which one or more bits are in error. A

 

 

background block error is an errored block that does not occur as part of a severely errored

 

 

second.

 

 

 

Bit Error Rate

 

Sets the high threshold for the B1 bit error rate and the alarm severity level. The BER is

 

 

the ratio of received bits that contain errors.

 

 

Unavailable Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of B1 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.

 

 

 

D.5.14.5 Current Tab

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

Table D-330 Field Descriptions for the Current Tab

Field

Description

Laser 1

Value

When the Update button is clicked, displays the current value of the Laser 1 current (in mA).

 

 

Degrade

Sets the degrade threshold for the Laser 1 current, in mA, and the alarm severity level.

 

 

Fail

Sets the failure threshold for the Laser 1 current, in mA, and the alarm severity level.

 

 

D.5.14.6 Power Tab

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

Table D-331 Field Descriptions for the Power Tab

Field

Description

Laser 1

Value

When the Update button is clicked, displays the current power of Laser 1 (in mW).

 

 

Low

Sets the low threshold for the Laser 1 power, in mW, and the alarm severity level.

 

 

High

Sets the high threshold for the Laser 1 power, in mW, and the alarm severity level.

 

 

D.5.14.7 Input Power Tab

The Input Power tab allows you to assign thresholds and alarm severities for the power coming into the transponder lasers.
