Description

 

 

B1 Counters

 

 

 

Errored Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of B1 errored seconds (ES) and the alarm severity

 

level. An errored second is a one-second period with one or more error blocks or at least

 

one defect.

 

 

Severely Errored Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of B1 severely errored seconds (SES) and the alarm

 

severity level. A severely errored second is a one-second period that contains at least 30

 

percent of errored blocks or at least one defect.

 

 

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 (BER) and the alarm severity level. The

 

BER is the ratio of received bits that contain errors.

 

 

FEC Counters

 

 

 

Errored Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC ES and the alarm severity level.

 

 

Severely Errored Seconds

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC SES and the alarm severity level.

 

 

Background Block Errors

Sets the high threshold for the number of FEC 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).

 

 

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.
