Option

Description

Frame Slip
Threshold

Sets the allowable frame slips per time period (from 1 to 255)
before alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 5.

Frame Slip
Duration

Sets the duration in hours (from 1 to 24) that the frame slips
are counted. After this time period, the counter is reset to 0.
Factory default is 2 hours.

Note: If the duration period set is too long, the LEI card is slow to
return to service automatically even when the carrier is no longer
experiencing errors. The

CLEAR ALARM (C A)

command has to be

entered manually to restore service promptly. To avoid this, an alarm’s
duration period is normally set to 10 seconds.

Set Clearing

The

SET CLEARING (S C)

command allows self-clearing of alarms by

responding to the question: Enable Self Clearing? (YES or NO). If YES is
chosen (the factory default setting), the system automatically clears (resets)
alarms after the alarm condition is no longer detected. Choosing the NO
option causes the system to continue the alarm condition until the

Clear

Alarm (C A)

command is entered. Line processing and yellow alarm

indication to the CPE terminates as soon as the alarm condition clears,
even if self-clearing is disabled.

Set Simple

The

SET SIMPLE

command controls call tear-down signaling when the

far-end disconnects from a call.

When the far-end terminates a call, Release 1 of LEI’s AB vintage sends a
disconnect message to the terminal equipment and waits for the terminal
equipment to go idle before going idle itself. A NO response to the

S S

command configures Release 2 (and later) boards to operate in this way.
See

Figure 66 "Set Simple (S S) no screen" (page 302)

.

Release 2 of AB vintage LEIs gives the administrator the option of using
the signaling described above, or configuring the LEI to take its channel idle
immediately after sending the call-disconnect message. A YES response
to the

S S

command, the default configuration for Release 2 (and later)

boards, configures the LEI to operate in this way. See

Figure 67 "Set Simple

(S S) yes screen" (page 302)
