Rx PRM
The NetLink-T1™ transmits ANSI performance report messages
once a second when the framing mode is ESF. When the ESF Data
Link is set to ANSI T1.403, the unit recognizes PRMs with addresses
of 38h or 3Ah. The address 3Ah indicates the PRM is coming from a
Carrier, whereas the address 38h indicates the PRM is coming from a
Customer. When the ESF Data Link is set to AT&T TR54016, the unit
recognizes Carrier-originated PRMs, which have an address of 3Ah.

Receive Alarm Indication [RAI] indicates that the local unit is receiv-
ing a Yellow Alarm. This alarm is sent by the remote unit or the central
office when it loses the received signal. This indicates the local unit’s
transmitted signal is not reaching the remote unit.
Rx Level The Model 2710 displays the current received signal
strength in dB. There are four level ranges detected:
+2 to –7.5
-7.5 to –15
-15 to –22.5
< -22.5
Valid Interval Count & Current Interval Time
The Valid Interval Count and Current Interval Time display the
number of valid 15 minute intervals in the last 24 hours and the num-
ber of seconds which have elapsed in the current interval, respectively.
The Valid Interval Count saturates at the count of 96 (96 * 15min = 24
hours), while the Current Interval Time rolls over after 900 counts.
When the counter rolls over, it is reset to zero, and the Interval Counter
is incremented by one if the count is less than 96.
Error Counters
These error counters give a second-by-second snapshot of the
link performance. To clear all counters, press the [Backspace] key. If
your keyboard does not have this key, you can press a two-key combi-
nation to affect the same result: Hold down the [Ctrl] key and then
press the [H] key. This will send to the unit the Ctrl-H character, which
is the same as pressing the [Backspace] key.
