Within VC-trail connection management applications, you can enable/disable VC-path
trail trace processing, on a per-connection basis, at each network SMA that transports
a VC-trail across the network. This processing includes the allocation of unique Trail
Trace Identifiers for each connection, and autonomously enables/disables TIM fault
type reporting. This also enables/disables the TIM fault type contribution to setting the
SNCP SF flag.
Signal Degrade (SD) Flag
The Signal Degrade (SD) flag is only declared and signalled if degraded path
performance failures are detected on the actual incoming protected VC-path layer.
These also represent (SNC/N), client layer, non-intrusive monitoring by the VC- POM
functions on the bearer SDH interface units. These functions are autonomously
enabled when you configure a protected VC- SNC.
The failure types are listed in Table 7-11, which identifies the protection classification
for each fault type and any operator configurable enable/disable attributes.

Enabling/disabling criteria from the VC- POM functions for setting the SD flag can
either be handled within the protection configuration applications, or within the VC-
path maintenance configuration applications of the SMA (events and traffic connection
management). Your can configure degraded path performance fault reporting on a
per-path 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.
The defaults are fault reporting enabled for USE alarm reporting.
Whatever attributes are configured for fault reporting, they are used as the
Enable/Disable configurations for setting the SNCP SD signalling flag, and vice-versa.
