Alarms

AIS (Alarm Indication Signal)
RX
: The STAT bits in the SM overhead field (byte 3, bits 6 to 8) of the
OTUC #1 are “111” for at least 15 consecutive frames.
TX
: Generates all ones over each OTUC of the signal excluding the OH
framing (FAS and MFAS).

IAE
(Incoming Alignment Error)
RX : The STAT bits in the SM overhead field (byte 3, bits 6 to 8) of the
OTUC #1 are “010” for at least 15 consecutive frames.
TX : Generates “010” for the STAT bits in the SM overhead field (byte 3,
bit 6 to 8) of the OTUC #1 continuously.

BDI (Backward Defect Indication)
RX
: The BDI bit in the SM overhead field (byte 3, bit 5) of the OTUC #1
is “1” for at least 15 consecutive frames.
TX
: Generates “1” for the BDI bit in the SM overhead field (byte 3, bit 5)
of the OTC #1 continuously.

BIAE
(Backward Incoming Alignment Error)
RX : The BEI/BIAE bits in the SM overhead field (byte 3, bits 1 to 4) are
“1011” for at least 3 consecutive frames.
TX : Generates “1011” for the BEI/BIAE bits in the SM overhead field
(byte 3, bits 1 to 4) of OTUC continuously.
