ESF Statistics
-
-
Errored Seconds ~ Count of errored seconds. This type of error occurs when either CRC errors or a loss of ESF frame sync is detected within a 1 (one) second interval.
-
Severely Errored Seconds ~ Count of severely errored seconds. this type of error occurs when more than 320 CRC errors or 1 (one) or more ESF frame sync losses are detected within a 1 (one) second interval.
-
Severely Errored Framing Seconds ~ Count of severely errored framing seconds. This type of error occurs when 1 (one) or more ESF frame sync losses are detected within a 1 (one) second intervals.
-
Unavailable Seconds ~ Count of unavailable seconds. This type of error occurs when the signal is classified as "unavailable" due to excessive errors within a 1 (one) second interval.
-
A signal is unavailable after receiving 10 (ten) consecutive severely errored seconds and will stay unavailable until 10 (ten) seconds has elapsed without a severely errored second occurring.
-
Controlled Slip Seconds ~ Count of controlled slip seconds. This type of error occurs when a T1 frame is detected as being either replicated or deleted at the receiver within a 1 (one) second interval.
-
Bursty Errored Seconds ~ Count of busty errored seconds. This type of error occurs when more than 1 (one) but less than 320 CRC errors are detected within a 1 (one) second interval.
-
Line Code Violations ~ Count of line code violations. This type of error occurs when non-Binary 8-Zeros Suppression (B8ZS) violations of the Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) protocol is detected. An excessive count usually indicates a B8ZS / AMI configuration mismatch in the T1 network.
