community name on GET/SET commands is incorrect.

AUTO VERIFY

Automatic check sent after Access-T has issued a far-end loopback
command to discover if far-end Access-T is looped back to the line.

AUX LOOP

A loopback established at the Aux Port of the local Access-T.

AUX PORT

Under SOURCE, a master clock derived from the T1 input to this port.
Under QRSS and LOOP, a test signal or loopback command transmitted in
DS0s mapped to the AUX Port.

BAUD RATE

The baud rate used for communication via the supervisory or craft ports.

BIT ERRORS

The number of bit errors (logically incorrect bits) in a received QRSS pattern.

BIT 7

Forcing of Bit 7 of each all-ZERO byte to ONE to ensure required pulse density.

BPV

BPV alarm threshold, (specified as negative exponent).

BUFFER ERROR

Tally of the clock alignment errors at the Line, Port1/2/3/4, and auxiliary
interfaces.
