problem further down the line and its transmission is not being received at the CPE. The Figure below
illustrates the scenario in which the DS1 connection from the Repeater to CPE is broken.
The Repeater, upon detection of Yellow Alarm originated from the CPE, will transmit a Blue Alarm, also known
as Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) to the CO. Blue alarm is an all ones pattern indicating that the equipment is
functioning but unable to offer service due to failures originated from remote side. It is sent such that the
equipment downstream will not lose clock synchronization even though no meaningful data is received. The
Figure below illustrates this scenario in which the Repeater is sending an AIS to CO upon detection of Yellow
alarm originated from the CPE.
