etc.).
LOS does not appear when using the electrical interface (STM-1eor STS-3).
For the PDH interfaces the lists of relevant events are different.

Appears when SDH or SONET layer is present.
If a reference event is not generated within the time of this cycle, end the

event(s). Valid values are from 0.000 ms to 10000.000 ms for SDH/SONET
