Excessive Bit Error Ratio (EBER).This is defined as a nominal bit error ratio
greater than 10
-3
. (Enable/Disable) - Enabling/Disabling the alarm report also
enables/disables this as a criterion for setting the SF flag.
5
Signal Degrade. You may configure to the following:
•
Disabled - signal degrade is never raised
•
Raised on BER (bit error ratio greater than a single preset threshold
in the range of 10
-9
to 10
-5
. (default 10e-6)
•
Raised on unacceptable short-term error performance (USE)
•
Raised on degraded seconds error performance (DEG).
The default config is signal degrade Enabled, using defect criteria USE.
Failures of types 1, 2, 3 and 4 cause a Signal Fail (SF) flag to be inserted into the
internal traffic signal frame overhead, from PDH card to switch unit, for the appropriate
PDH trib port.
In the case of a 2M signal contained in an aggregate 34M transmux signal, the Signal
Fail flag is also inserted if the following failures are detected on the 34M aggregate
signal:
•
Loss of tributary signal
•
EBER; this is calculated only on 34M Frame Alignment Word errors
•
AIS.
A failure of Type 5 causes a Signal Degrade (SD) flag to be inserted into the internal
traffic signal frame overhead, from PDH card to switch unit, for the appropriate PDH
trib port.
In the case of a 2M signal contained in an aggregate 34M transmux signal, the signal
degrade flag is also inserted if signal degrade is detected on the 34M aggregate signal
(calculated only on 34M Frame Alignment Word errors).
Enabling/disabling criteria for setting the SD flag, can either be handled within the
protection configuration applications, or within the section/path maintenance
configuration applications of the SMA (events and traffic connection management).
You are able to configure degraded path performance fault reporting on a per-PDH
port basis. The configurations include the following:
•
Fault Report Disabled
•
Fault Report based on equivalent BER calculations - Path Signal Degrade
alarms reported
•
Fault Report based on Unacceptable Short-Term Error performance
calculations - Path USE alarms reported
•
Fault Report based on Degraded Error performance calculations - Path
Signal Degrade alarms reported.
