Pressing the DOWN ARROW from any of these displays will step you

 

through the last 96 15-minute intervals while displaying the number of

 

errors in each of the interval. From the Net STATISTICS MENU, press

 

Enter. When you see Net N CV, press Enter again. The first display will

 

read SEC. 455 VALID.8, showing the number of seconds in the current

 

interval, and the number of valid 15 minute intervals since the error

 

counters were last reset.

 

Pressing the DOWN ARROW button from this point in the menu will show

 

the number of Code Violations in the current interval (CUR 4). Pressing the

 

DOWN ARROW will display the total number of errors since the registers

 

were last reset (TOTL. 8). Pressing the DOWN ARROW from here will

 

cycle you through the last 96 fifteen-minute intervals (or however many

 

intervals exist since the counters were last reset), displaying the number of

 

Code Violations in each interval, starting with the most recent, i.e., 1 = 0.

 

The NET STATISTICS items are listed in Table 5-3.

Parameter

Definition

 

 

EFS

Error Free Seconds (EFS) is calculated whenever ESR is calculated, and is the simple

 

percentage complement of ESR: EFS = 100.0 - ESR. When there have been UAS in

 

the statistics history for the past 24 hours, then EFS is set at 100%.

 

 

ESR

Errored Second Ratio (ESR) is the ratio of ES to total seconds in available time during

 

a fixed measurement interval. The fixed interval is the last 24 hours before the current

 

15 minute interval. When there have been UAS in the statistics history for the past 24

 

hours, then ESR is set at 0%.

 

 

SESR

Severely Errored Second Ration (SESR) is the ratio of SES to total seconds in

 

available time during a fixed measurement interval. The fixed interval to be used is

 

the last 24 hours before the current 15 minute interval. When there have been UAS

 

in the statistics history for the past 24 hours, then SESR is set at 0%.

 

 

BBER

Background Block Error Ratio (BBER) is the ratio of errored blocks to total blocks

 

during a fixed measurement interval, excluding all blocks during SES and unavailable

 

time. The fixed interval is equal to the last 24 hours before the current 15 minute

 

interval.

 

 

BPV

This display provides the number of Bipolar Violations (BPVs) that have occurred

 

during the accumulation period. A total of 15430 BPVs in a 10 second sliding

 

window (approximately 10-3) will create a Major Alarm and 916 BPVs in a 600

 

second sliding window (approximately 10-6) will create a Minor Alarm.

 

 

FE

A Frame Error (FE) is declared when two out of four consecutive framing bits are in

 

error. Typically, an FE indication will be accompanied by a significant number of

 

payload data bit errors. This display provides the number of FEs that have occurred

 

in the accumulation period.
