Field

 

Description

 

 

 

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 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.5.18.5 Current Tab

The Current tab allows you to assign performance monitoring thresholds for the wavelength converter module laser current levels.

Table D-358 Field Descriptions for the Current Tab

Field

Description

Laser 1 Current

Value

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

 

 

Degrade

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

 

 

Fail

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

 

 

D.5.18.6 Power Tab

The Power tab allows you to assign performance monitoring thresholds for the wavelength converter module Laser 1 power levels.
