15.1 Line Code Violation Count Register (LCVCR)
15.1.1 T1 Operation
T1 code violations are defined as bipolar violations (BPVs) or excessive zeros. If the B8ZS mode is set
for the receive side, then B8ZS codewords are not counted. This counter is always enabled; it is not
disabled during receive loss of synchronization (RLOS = 1) conditions.

Yes Yes BPVs + 8 Consecutive Zeros
15.1.2 E1 Operation
Either bipolar violations or code violations can be counted. Bipolar violations are defined as consecutive
marks of the same polarity. In this mode, if the HDB3 mode is set for the receive side, then HDB3
codewords are not counted as BPVs. If ERCNT.3 is set, then the LVC counts code violations as defined
in ITU O.161. Code violations are defined as consecutive bipolar violations of the same polarity. In most
applications, the framer should be programmed to count BPVs when receiving AMI code and to count
CVs when receiving HDB3 code. This counter increments at all times and is not disabled by loss of sync
conditions. The counter saturates at 65,535 and will not rollover. The bit error rate on an E1 line would
have to be greater than 10** -2 before the VCR would saturate.
