Alternate Dial-Out Directory for Alarm or Trap. Specifies whether a call that cannot be completed (busy, no answer, etc.) is retried using an alternate phone number. This affects calls that are initiated in an attempt to send an alarm or trap message to the modem port or carrier external communication port device. The alternate phone number to try is contained in one of the five call directories. If call retry is enabled, the initial call is retried at the original number once before a call attempt to the alternate number is tried. If the call to the alternate number is unsuccessful, it is also retried once. The alternate dial-out option applies to each alarm/trap event. Once a call for an alarm/trap message either completes or fails all retry attempts, the next alarm/trap attempts to establish a call to the phone number contained in the alarm directory.

None – Specifies that alternate alarm dial-out is not performed if a call cannot be completed to the telephone number contained in the alarm directory.

1-5– Specifies the call directory that contains the phone number to call if a call cannot be completed to the telephone number contained in the alarm directory.

NOTE: For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, this configuration option is only available if the communication port is enabled for an external device.

Excessive Error Rate Threshold. Sets the error rate threshold that determines if an Excessive Error Rate (EER) condition is declared. This rate is determined by the ratio of the number of CRC6 errors to the total number of bits received over a set period of time.

Select from the following:

10E-4– EER is declared if more than 1,535 CRC6 errors are detected within 10 seconds (factory default).

10E-5– EER is declared if more than 921 CRC6 errors are detected within 60 seconds.

10E-6– EER is declared if more than 92 CRC6 errors are detected within 60 seconds.

10E-7– EER is declared if more than 9 CRC6 errors are detected within 60 seconds.

10E-8– EER is declared if more than 41 CRC6 errors are detected in three 15-minute intervals.

10E-9– EER is declared if more than 4 CRC6 errors are detected in three 15-minute intervals.
