Correct 

configuration 

In order to correct the configuration, proceed as follows: 

 

 

Ensure RAI, RLE and RPA (first three columns) are zero, check 

light levels 

 

Ensure no bip errors occur, otherwise check cabling and light levels 

 

Ensure the scrambling and CRC settings are ok 

 

Little or no 

data 

information 

On WAN links it can happen that there is very little or no data information 

received.  This typically indicates incorrect scrambling settings. While a 

default that matches typical link settings is provided, the actual 

configuration varies from network to network. 

 

In this situation, vary the 

pscramble

 option and retry.
