Pattern Sync Losses: This field displays the number of
times during the test period that the BERT pattern
detector lost sync.
Reset Bert Test: When set to ‘
YES
’, the BERT error
counts and elapsed time values are cleared to zero. This
parameter then returns to ‘
NO
’ automatically.
Network Performance Stats: The PRISM records perfor-
mance statistics as described in TR54016. The unit is
equipped with a dual set of data registers with individual
resets that maintain these statistics. One set is accessed by
the network service provider (telco). The other set is
accessed by the user through the front panel, terminal inter-
face, or the EM8000 element manager.
Performance data is collected in 15-minute intervals for the
preceding 24-hour period. The intervals (numbered Int# 00
to Int# 96) are viewed by pressing
When a specific interval is selected for viewing performance
data, all other parameters will reflect that interval until
another interval is selected.
Errored Seconds:
ES
displays the number of one second
intervals where at least one CRC or out-of-frame error
event occurred.
Severely Errored Secs:
SES
displays the number of one
second intervals where at least 320 CRC errors were
detected or at least one out-of-frame event occurred.
Loss of Frame Secs:
LOFS
displays the number of sec-
onds that the network interface is out of frame sync.
Unavailable Seconds:
UAS
displays the number of one
second intervals of unavailable service. Counting begins
when 10 consecutive severely errored seconds (CSES)
occur and ends when 10 consecutive seconds pass with no
SES. The initial 10 seconds are included in this count.
Controlled Slip Seconds: CSS displays the number of one
second intervals where at least one controlled slip
occurred.
Bipolar Error Secs: BPES displays the number of one
second intervals where at least one bipolar code violation
occurred.
Daily performance data for the parameters listed above
appears following the 15-minute interval listings. It is col-
lected in 24-hour intervals for the preceding 30-day period.
The days (from
Day# 00
to
Day# 30
) are viewed by press-
ing
Day# 00
is the most recently stored day and
Day# 30
is the
oldest day. Pressing the
cursor to the left.
ESF Errors: Displays the total number of ESF error
events since the counts were last reset. This value is not
