Maintenance Description
9-32  
Issue 3 June 2000
STS signal failure. If there is an unprotected STS-1 path terminating equipment 
(OLIU) failure, unavailable seconds are counted from within 1 second of circuit 
pack failure to within 1 second of circuit pack recovery. 
VT1.5 Path Parameters 
9
Performance Monitoring Enabling 
9
VT1.5 monitoring is initiated when the associated VT1.5 or STS-1 cross-
connection is made to a DS1 or DS1PM circuit pack. Parameters continue to be 
available in reports and generate appropriate threshold crossing alerts until the 
VT1.5 or STS-1 cross-connection is deleted. 
Errored Seconds (ES)
9
An "errored second" is a second that is not an "unavailable second" in which one 
or more V5 parity violations or an AIS or LOP is detected.  This parameter is 
counted and thresholded independently for each VT1.5 path terminated by the 
system. 
Severely Errored Seconds (SES)
9
A "severely errored" second is a second that is not an "unavailable second" in 
which four or more V5 violations or an AIS or LOP is detected. Severely errored 
seconds are counted and thresholded separately for each VT1.5 path terminated 
by the system.
