Now let us consider another scenario in which the DS1 line between CO and the Repeater is broken. Again,
upon detection of Loss of Signal (LOS) or Loss of Frame (LOF) condition, the Repeater will generate an
internal Red Alarm. This alarm will normally trigger a microprocessor interrupt informing the user that an
incoming signal failure is happening.
The Repeater will also send an all ones AIS pattern downstream to the CPE and a Yellow Alarm back to the
CO. The CPE uses the AIS signal to recover received clock and remain in synchronization with the system.
Upon detecting the incoming AIS signal, the CPE will generate a Yellow Alarm to the Repeater to indicate the
loss of incoming signal. The Figure below illustrates this scenario in which the Repeater is sending an AIS to
the CPE and the CPE is sending a Yellow Alarm back to the Repeater.
