The system accumulates three performance parameters:
• errored seconds (ES)
• severely errored seconds (SES)
• unavailable seconds (UAS)
These parameters are defined according to TIA-547A. Errored seconds are
enhanced to include control slip (CS) events. Only near-end performance data
is recorded.
The internal CSU continuously monitors the received signal and detects four
types of transmission defects:
• any active carrier failure alarms (CFA), such as loss of signal (LOS), out
of frame (OOF), alarm indication signal (AIS), and remote alarm indication
(RAI)
• the number of bipolar violations that occurred in the last minute
• any defects that occurred in the last minute, such as loss of signal (LOS),
out of frame (OOF), and alarm indication signal (AIS)
• the number of milliseconds of short-term alarms in the last minute, such
as loss of signal (LOS), out of frame (OOF), alarm indication signal (AIS),
and remote alarm indication (RAI).
A short term alarm is declared when the detected defects persist for tens of
milliseconds. A carrier failure alarm (CFA) is a duration of carrier system
outage.
The criteria for declaring and clearing the alarms is selectable to meet those
in TIA-547A or TR64211. You can also view Carrier Failure Alarms as Core
Telephony Alarms in the Alarm Viewer.
