Show Thresholds

Shows selected thresholds.

CV

(Near End only) The number of coding violations. Coding violations are bit interleaved parity errors that are detected in the incoming signal. A threshold is associated with this parameter, and the table cell will be flagged in red when it exceeds the threshold.

ES

(Near and Far End) The number of errored seconds. An errored second is a one-second period with one or more coding violations at that layer or one or more incoming defects at that layer.

SES

(Near End only) The number of severely errored seconds. A severely errored second is a one-second period with x or more coding violations at that layer and one or more incoming defects at that layer. The value of x depends on the line rate and bit error rate.

LOSS

(Near End only) The number of one-second intervals containing one or more loss of signal (LOS) defects.
