Configuring the Physical Ports 4-11
The following alarms trigger an uplink failure:
• Uplink Port Signal Loss
• Line Excessive Error Defect
• Line Signal Degraded Error
• Uplink Port Loss of Signal
• Uplink Port Loss of Frame
• Path Rx Facility Pointer Loss
• Path Excessive Error Defect
• Path Signal Degraded Error
• Path Trace J1 string mismatch.
With Physical Failure Forwarding enabled, three additional alarms trigger an uplink
failure:
• Line Alarm Indication Signal (AIS-L)
• Remote Line Defect Indication (RDI-L)
• Unequipped.
It is possible to mask errors in the Alarm Setup menu, so that the uplink will not be
interrupted. (See Chapter 5)
