2 Mbit/s Frame slip/skip count threshold crossing 15-min
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Alarm identifier FSCcTHR15
Information The configurable 15-minuteframe slip/skip count (FSC) threshold has been
exceeded, indicating that too many frame-slip buffer overflow or underflow
events occurred during a 15-minutemonitoring period.

Local indications –
Cause A frame slip/skip event indicates a synchronisation difference between the SDH
clock of the netwerk element that performs the re-timing and the network
element that generated the E1 (2 Mbit/s) signal, usually a voice switch or 64-
kbit/s level cross-connect.
Actions Check the synchronisation trails to both the 1643 AM and 1643 AMS and the
network element that generated the E1 (2 Mbit/s) signal.
These two network elements should have their respective clocks traced back to
the same synchronization source when the 1643 AM and 1643 AMS system is
operated in the re-timed mode.
Note(s) •
The default frame slip/skip count (FSC) thresholds for 15-minutemonitoring
periods are 2 (TR threshold) and 1 (RTR threshold), respectively.
•
Slipping or skipping of 2 Mbit/s frames is only possible when the E1 port
is configured to operate in the re-timing mode.
In this case a slip/skip event indicates a synchronization difference between
the SDH clock of the 1643 AM and 1643 AMS network element that
performs the re-timing and the network element that generated the E1 signal.
Re-timing should only be applied when these two network elements have
their respective clocks traced back to the same synchronization source,
otherwise a continuous stream of slips or skips will occur at the re-timing
point.
