Elect Path Thresholds


Use the Elect Path Thresholds subtab to view the DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 electrical path thresholds.

Near End

Select to correct the DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 near-end thresholds.

Far End

Select to correct the DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 far-end thresholds.

15 Min

Select to enter electrical path threshold information for a generation of 15-minute TCAs.

1 Day

Select to enter electrical path threshold information for a generation of 1-day TCAs.

DS3 Pbit

Select to display the DS3 PBit thresholds.

DS3 CPBit

Select to display the DS3 CPBit thresholds.

DS1

Select to display thresholds for the corresponding DS1 within each port.

Show Thresholds

Shows selected thresholds.

Port

The port number.

CV

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. You can set thresholds using the CTC.

ES

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

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

SAS

The severely errored frame/alarm indication signal.

AISS

The alarm indication signal seconds.

UAS

The unavailable seconds.

Apply

Reset

Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
