for at least 3 consecutive frames.
³
TCMi-TIM (TCMi -Trace Identification Mismatch): TCMi-TIM is declared
when the expected TCMi SAPI and/or TCMi DAPI do not match the

³
TCMi-IAE (TCMi - Incoming Alignment Error): TCMi-IAE is declared
when the STAT information in the TCMi is “010” for at least 3
consecutive frames.
