Error Counters, Rx PRM | Patton electronic 2720 instruction

Receive Alarm Indication [RAI] indicates that the local unit is receiv- ing a Yellow Alarm. This alarm is sent by the remote unit or the central office when it loses the received signal. This indicates the local unit’s transmitted signal is not reaching the remote unit.

Rx Level The Model 2720 displays the current received signal strength in dB. There are four level ranges detected:

+2 to –7.5 -7.5 to –15 -15 to –22.5 < -22.5

Valid Interval Count & Current Interval Time

The Valid Interval Count and Current Interval Time display the number of valid 15 minute intervals in the last 24 hours and the num- ber of seconds which have elapsed in the current interval, respectively. The Valid Interval Count saturates at the count of 96 (96 * 15min = 24 hours), while the Current Interval Time rolls over after 900 counts. When the counter rolls over, it is reset to zero, and the Interval Counter is incremented by one if the count is less than 96.

Valid Interval Count: [96]

Current Interval Time: [899]

Error Counters

These error counters give a second-by-second snapshot of the link performance. To clear all counters, press the [Backspace] key. If your keyboard does not have this key, you can press a two-key combi- nation to affect the same result: Hold down the [Ctrl] key and then press the [H] key. This will send to the unit the Ctrl-H character, which is the same as pressing the [Backspace] key.

Rx PRM

The NetLink-T1™ transmits ANSI performance report messages once a second when the framing mode is ESF. When the ESF Data Link is set to ANSI T1.403, the unit recognizes PRMs with addresses of 38h or 3Ah. The address 3Ah indicates the PRM is coming from a Carrier, whereas the address 38h indicates the PRM is coming from a Customer. When the ESF Data Link is set to AT&T TR54016, the unit recognizes Carrier-originated PRMs, which have an address of 3Ah.
