Full Status Counter
The Full Status Counter determines how may Polling Intervals take place
before a full status is requested from the network. A full status enquiry
message is sent from the MultiFRAD to the network requesting a status
report of the PVC on the physical link. The Full Status Counter can range
from 1 to 255, with a default of 6.
Error Threshold
The Error Threshold is used to indicate the threshold number of errors
occurring during a full cycle of the Monitored Event. After each full cycle of
the Monitored Event Counter, if the actual number of errors equals or
exceeds the error threshold, the trunk status is brought down and no data
may be sent. The error count is reset at the beginning of each cycle of the
Monitored Event Counter. The Error Threshold Count can range from 1 to
10 with a default of 3 and should be less than or equal to the Monitored Event
Counter.
Monitored Event
The Monitored Event determines the number of Polling Intervals that have
to take place before the User Network Interface is operational. It is also used
with the error threshold count to determine if the trunk should be brought
down. The range of this counter is from 1 to 10 events with a default of 4
events
Committed Info Rate (CIR)
The Committed Info Rate (CIR) determines the data transfer rate at which
the network is committed to handle under normal conditions. This rate is
the average over a minimum increment of time. The CIR may be less than
or equal to the Access Rate. When the CIR is exceeded, but the data rate
is below the Excess Burst Rate (Be), there is a possibility that data may be
discarded. When the Be is exceeded, data will most likely be discarded.
The default CIR is 32K.
