TABLE 9. GLOSSARY OF HIGAIN TERMS
Term
Definition
Margins
Indicates the excess signal-to-noise ratio, at either the HRU-412 or HLU 319,
List 2D HDSL ports, relative to a 10
-7
Bit Error Rate. First value is current
margin. Second value is minimum margin since (C)leared last. Third value is
maximum value since cleared. NA means Not Available (loop is not in-sync).
The normal range of a typical margin is from 22 to 6 dB.
Pulse Attenuation
Indicates the attenuation of the 2B1Q pulse from the distant end. The HiGain
system operates with pulse attenuation in excess of 30 dB. This value is related
to the cable pairs’ 196 kHz loss. The pulse attenuation is a more direct
indication of the loop attenuation to the 2B1Q signal than the 196 kHz loss. The
normal range of pulse attenuation is from 1 to 32 dB.
PPM
Indicates the relative offset of the crystal oscillator in the HRU-412 from the
HLU-319, List 2D crystal oscillator. Any value between -64 and +64 is adequate.
Values outside this range indicate out-of-tolerance components or excessive
temperature drift in critical components.
HDSL 24 Hours ES
(Errored Seconds)
The number of 1-second intervals which contained at least 1 HDSL CRC error.
This value is a running total of the last 24 hours.
HDSL 24 Hours UAS
(Unavailable Seconds)
The number of seconds the HDSL loop was out-of-sync.
DS1 BPV Seconds (ES)
The number of seconds in which at least 1 bipolar violation was detected on the
T1 input.
DS1 UAS Count
The number of seconds during which the T1 input signal was absent (125 or
more consecutive “0”).
Frame Type
Type of T1 framing used on the input stream (SF, ESF, Unframed or No
Activity).
Code Type
Type of T1 line coding used (AMI, B8ZS, AMI : ZBTSI or B8ZS : ZBTSI). The
latter two conditions indicate the line code that is being received when the
HiGain system is set to its ZBTSI mode. In either the AMI or the B8ZS
conditions, the code type displays the user-selected code, as opposed to the
type of code that is actually being received. (The user-selected code is
displayed when in the Auto mode.)
HLU/Ver w.x-y
“w.x” = software version number of the HLU-319, List 2D. “y” = list number of
HLU-319, List 2D.
HRU/Ver a.b-c
“a.b” = software version number of the HRU-412. “c” = list number of HRU-412.
