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

Displays the port number.

CV

Sets the threshold for the number of coding violations. Coding violations are BIP 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

Sets the threshold for 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

Sets the threshold for 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 BER.

SAS

Sets the threshold for the severely errored frame/alarm indication signal.

AISS

Sets the threshold for the alarm indication signal seconds.

UAS

Sets the threshold for the unavailable seconds.

ESNE

(Far End) Sets the threshold for the near-end errored seconds from the far-end node.

ESFE

(Far End) Sets the threshold for the far-end errored seconds from the far-end node.

SESNE

(Far End) Sets the threshold for the near-end severely errored seconds from the far-end node.

SESFE

(Far End) Sets the threshold for the far-end severely errored seconds from the far-end node.

UASNE

(Far End) Sets the threshold for the near-end unavailable seconds from the far-end node.

UASFE

(Far End) Sets the threshold for the far-end unavailable seconds from the far-end node.

Apply

Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.

Reset

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