Frame alignment
Loss of frame alignment occurs when the DTI/PRI card stops receiving the framing pattern on
the DS-1 byte stream for a pre-defined period of time (three seconds). See Figure 23: Frame
alignment thresholds on page 1
18 and
Figure 24: Loss of frame alignment on page
118. This
condition can occur as a result of the far end of the T1 span going completely out-of service
or any other reason resulting in losing the incoming DS-1 pulse stream.
Loss of frame alignment thresholds DTI/PRI hardware detects out-of-frame conditions.
Running the midnight routines prints the number of occurrences when frame alignment was
lost and clears the counters.
There are three frame alignment thresholds set in LD 73. When a maintenance or out-of-
service threshold is reached, a DTA message is output as shown in
Figure 23: Frame alignment
thresholds on page 1
18.
