Detecting NEBE/FEBE (2B1Q)
aurora
Sonata
can detect internal errors on the U interface when
2B1Q line coding is being used. Far End Block Errors (FEBE)
are errors in the transmit direction, and Near End Block Errors
(NEBE) are errors in the receive direction.
The CRC LED indicates NEBE/FEBE by lighting up red for as
long as the error is present on the line.
