Yellow alarm
or the
remote frame alarm
(FRM_SR1 bit 0).
This alarm is an indication that the line remote end is in a loss of frame alignment state. Indication of remote frame
alarm (commonly referred to as a yellow alarm) as for the different framing formats is shown in Table 39.
Table 39. Remote Frame Alarm Conditions
3.
Blue alarm
or the
alarm indication signal
(AIS).
The alarm indication signal (AIS), sometimes referred to as the blue alarm, is an indication that the remote end is
out of service. Detection of an incoming alarm indication signal is defined in Table 40.

errors is enabled in FRM_PR9.
Three consecutive incorrect FAS patterns or three consecutive incorrect NOT FAS patterns;
or optionally, greater than 914 received CRC-4 checksum errors in a one second interval if
loss of frame alignment due to excessive CRC-6 errors is enabled in FRM_PR9.

Remote Frame Alarm Format
Bit 2 of all time slots in the 0 state.
The twelfth framing bit in the 1 state in two out of three consecutive superframes.
Bit 6 of time slot 24 in the 0 state.
An alternating pattern of eight ones followed by eight zeros in the ESF data link.
Bit 3 of the NOT FAS frame in the 1 state in three consecutive frames.
Bit 6 of the time slot 16 signaling frame in the 1 state.
Framing Format

Remote Frame Alarm Format
Loss of frame alignment occurs and the incoming signal has two or fewer zeros in each of
two consecutive double frame periods (386 bits).
As described in ETS 300 233:1994 Section 8.2.2.4, loss of frame alignment occurs and
the framer receives a 512 bit period containing two or less binary zeros. This is enabled
by setting register FRM_PR10 bit 1 to 0.
As described in ITU Rec. G.775, the incoming signal has two or fewer zeros in each of
two consecutive double frame periods (512 bits). AIS is cleared if each of two consecutive
double frame periods contains three or more zeros or frame alignment signal (FAS) has
been found. This is enabled by setting register FRM_PR10 bit 1 to 1.
