1.7.148 LOS (EC1)

LOS on a 15310-CL-CTX, DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3, or DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 card EC-1 port occurs when a
SONET receiver detects an all-zero pattern for 10 microseconds or longer. An LOS (EC1) most likely
means that the upstream transmitter has failed. If an EC1 LOS alarm is not accompanied by additional
alarms, a cabling problem (such as an incorrect attachment, a fiber cut, or another fiber error) usually
causes this alarm. The condition clears when the problem is corrected, allowing two consecutive valid
frames to be received.
