EB/CV

An Errored Block (EB) is a block in which one or more bits are in error. The EB if

 

therefore equivalent to the Code Violation (CV) count calculated and displayed in the

 

previous versions of the DL3800E. This count allows a user to monitor the rate of EB

 

faults on a line that is unavailable.

 

EBs are counted in the unavailable state; ES, SES, and BBE are not counted in the

 

unavailable state.

 

 

ES

An Errored Second (ES) is a one second period with one or more errored blocks

 

(such as one or more CRC4 errors) or an Out Of Frame (OOF). This display provides

 

the number of ESs that have occurred in the accumulation period. ESs are not

 

accumulated during UAS.

 

 

SES

Severely Errored Seconds (SES) is a one-second period which contains 30% or more

 

errored blocks or at least one severely disturbed period (SDP). An SDP is present if

 

either a LOS, AIAS, or LOF occurs.

 

Since there are 1000 blocks per second, an SES is a one second period which

 

contains either a combination of 300 or more CRC4 errors, an OOF, or at least one

 

of the following: LOS, AIS, or LOF. This requirement is a slight change from the prior

 

DL3800E unit SES definition, which required 320 or more CRC4 errors or LOS, AIS,

 

or LOF. SESs are not accumulated during UAS.

 

 

BBE

A Background Block Error (BBE) is an errored block not occurring as part of an SES.

 

A BBE is calculated and displayed as a raw count of non-SES EBs. The count is

 

updated at the end of every measurement second excepting any second that is an

 

SES. The updated count is discarded for all UAS.

 

 

UAS

Unavailable Seconds. This display provides the number of UAS that have occurred in

 

the accumulation period. At the onset of 10 consecutive SES events, a period of

 

unavailable seconds begins. These 10 seconds are part of the unavailable seconds

 

count. At the onset of 10 consecutive non-SES events, a new period of available time

 

begins. These 10 seconds are part of available time.

 

UAS only occurs at the onset of 10 SES.

 

ES, SES, and BBE are not counted during unavailable time. Rate parameters ESR,

 

SESR, and BBER are the ratio of the fault-seconds count to the total seconds in

 

available time.
