Description

 

 

 

Line A/B Lock Status

This parameter provides the information on the status of the

 

 

connection between the ASM-60 units (synchronized or not

 

 

synchronized). This value is updated every second.

 

 

 

Line A/B Avg. Snr.

This parameter provides the avarage signal-to-noise ratio in the line.

 

 

 

Line A/B BER pre FEC

This parameter provides the bit error rate before the Forward Error

 

 

Correction is performed.

 

 

 

Line A/B BER after FEC

This parameter provides the bit error rate after the Forward Error

 

 

Correction is performed.
