Configuring Link Noise Monitoring
About Link Noise Monitoring
Link Noise Monitoring (LNM) feature monitors noise associated with T1/E1 communication links
between a base transceiver station (BTS) and the aggregation node (AN).
T1/E1 links are leased spans (lines) from service providers. Noise in these lines causes data loss.
Significant data loss affects the voice quality. When notified of such issues the system operator can move
the faulty span out of service.
The LNM feature monitors link noise by determining whether the error parameter associated with the
selected link has exceeded its predefined threshold.
The LNM feature is described in the following sections:
