interstate, intrastate, and foreign electrical communication systems that originate from the
United States.
Far End Bit Error. Number of errors reported by the remote equipment.
High Density Bipolar 3 coding format.
High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Loop. Provides high bandwidth, bi-directional transmission
over copper wire for both T1 and E1 services.
Light Emitting Diode. A status indicator that responds to the presence of a certain
conditions.
Used to test various portions of a data link in order to isolate an equipment or data line
problem. A diagnostic procedure that sends a test message back to its origination point.
Multiframe Out of Sync. An error was detected in the synchronization of a multiframe.
An ordered, functional sequence of frames on a multiplexed digital circuit.
Out Of Frame. An error condition in which frame synchronization bits are in error. A
network-reported condition.
