To Monitor Alarms and Errors on a Channel

Alarms and errors on a channel are displayed in Channel Monitor. To start Channel Monitor see “To Monitor a Channel (VPI/VCI)” on page 2-26.

The summary shows details of the alarms and errors that occurred at each layer. Click a tab for more information about ATM and AAL alarms and errors.

Note If the analyzer receives a large number of errors for a channel, it detects that channel’s AAL type as Null. If you want to monitor AAL statistics for that channel, you need to set up the channel and set the AAL type manually.

Ensure you select the Summary tab. Use Channel Monitor to interpret the effects of the alarms and errors.
