seconds for the current interval. A bursty errored second is any second with
more than one but less than 320 CRC errors.
„
LOFC (Loss of Frame Count): Contains the number of times that an LOF is
declared.
„
Status: Contains the contents of the status events register. The status events
register maintains a history of specific events that have occurred during an
interval. Values include:
— Y: Remote alarm indication signal (yellow alarm) received at the DSX-1
