■ PERFORMANCE-Set-PM Threshold-STS1 (TL1 = SET-TH): This input
provisions values for the threshold crossing alert parameters associated
with STS-1 tributaries. Note that these parameters only apply to STS-1
signals received from the OC-48 line. These parameters are applied to
both the B3 (path parity) and far end block error (FEBE) data collection for
each STS-1 tributary.
— The TCA Autonomous Report parameter specifies whether
autonomous reporting of threshold crossing alerts (TCAs) via TBOS
and TL1 is "Enable" or "Disable" for the selected
performance-monitoring bin and STS-1 tributary(s).
— The Path/FEBE Coding Violations parameter specifies the number
of STS-1 path/FEBE coding violations that will cause a threshold
crossing alert for the selected performance-monitoring bin and
STS-1 tributary(s). This parameter is the base 10 logarithm of the
desired error rate. The values are integers from -10 to -7 (inclusive)
for the quarter-hour bin and integers from -12 to -7 (inclusive) for the
day bin.
— The Path/FEBE Errored Seconds parameter specifies the number of
STS-1 path/FEBE errored seconds that will cause a threshold
crossing alert for the selected performance-monitoring bin and
STS-1 tributary(s). An STS-1 path errored second is recorded for
each second during which there are one or more B3 coding
violations, one or more STS-1 path AIS defects, or one or more
STS-1 loss-of-pointer defects. A FEBE errored second is recorded
for each second during which there are one or more FEBE coding
violations, or one or more remote defect indicator-path (RDI-P)
defects. This parameter is an integer from 1 to 900 (inclusive) for the
quarter-hour bin and an integer from 1 to 65,535 (inclusive) for the
day bin.
— The Path/FEBE Severely Errored Seconds parameter specifies the
number of STS-1 path/FEBE severely errored seconds that will
cause a threshold crossing alert for the selected
performance-monitoring bin and STS-1 tributary(s). An STS-1 path
severely errored second is recorded for each second during which
there are nine or more B3 coding violations, one or more STS-1 path
AIS defects, or one or more STS-1 path loss-of-pointer defects. A
FEBE severely errored second is recorded for each second during
which there are nine or more FEBE coding violations or one or more
RDI-P defects. For intervals with 10 or more contiguous severely
errored seconds, the severely errored seconds will be recorded as
unavailable seconds, not as severely errored seconds. This
parameter is an integer from 1 to 63 (inclusive) for the quarter-hour
bin and an integer from 1 to 4095 (inclusive) for the day bin.
— The Path/FEBE Unavailable Seconds parameter specifies the
number of STS-1 path/FEBE unavailable seconds that will cause a
threshold crossing alert for the selected performance-monitoring bin
and STS-1 tributary(s). An STS-1 path/FEBE unavailable second is
