Reading the Statistics
The Statistics is an informational display of accumulated statistics
(counters) for the errors that have occurred since the last system reboot or
statistics clearing. There may be non-zero values when configuring the T1
span for the first time. You can clear these fields with the Clear button.
• Frame Errors - number of framing bit errors. In T1 mode, a framing
bit error is defined as an incorrect FS-bit value. The counter is
suppressed when framer loses frame alignment.
• OOF Errors - the Out Of Frame counter registers every time the T1
chip is forced to re-frame when receiving a frame with severe errors.
• Rec Frame Slips - the Receiver Frame Slips counter shows the
number of frame slips for the receiver.
• Line Code Errors - Line Code Error is defined as an occurrence of a
bi-polar variation or excessive zeroes.
• Bit Errors - Bit Errors are defined as a CRC-6 error in ESF, FT-bit
error in SLC-96 and F-bit or sync bit error in SF.
• Xmt Frame Slips - Transmit Frame Slips counter shows the number
of frame slips for the transmitter.
• Clear button - use the Clear button to reset the statistics counters.
Note: For ideally synchronized systems, Transmit and Receive
Frame Slips counters should be '0.' Continuous update of the
frame slips counters means that transmit and receive
frequencies are not equal. In this case, you should check the
system and MVIP clock setup.
