Alarms and Performance Monitoring
(continued)
Table 26. Red Alarm or Loss of Frame Alignment Conditions
I
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 27.
Table 27. Remote Frame Alarm Conditions
I
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 29.
Framing Format
Number of Errored Framing Bits That Will Cause a Red Alarm
(Loss of Frame Alignment) Condition
2 errored frame bits (F
T
or F
S
) out of 4 consecutive frame bits if FRM_PR10 bit 2 = 1.
2 errored F
T
bits out of 4 consecutive F
T
bits if PRM_PR10 bit 2 = 0.
2 errored frame bits (F
T
or F
S
) out of 4 consecutive frame bits if FRM_PR10 bit 2 = 1.
2 errored F
T
bits out of 4 consecutive F
T
bits if FRM_PR10 bit 2 = 0.
3 errored frame bits (F
T
or F
S
) or channel 24 FAS pattern out of 12 consecutive frame bits.
2 errored F
E
bits out of 4 consecutive F
E
bits or, optionally, 320 or more CRC6 errored
checksums within a one second interval if loss of frame alignment due to excessive CRC-6
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.
