FEC DISABLE
FEC Disable
This diagnostic function allows the user to temporarily disable forward error correction on the channel when
diagnosing problems on the link.
Therefore, enabling this diagnostic function would temporarily disable FEC on the channel and the
associated maintenance mode alarm would activate.
Note that the opposite is not true for this diagnostic function. In other words, this diagnostic function does
not provide the user with the option to temporarily enable forward error correction on the channel.
All diagnostic functions are not persistent and will be return to disabled states should the system restart.
