As long as another message of any type containing the same string is received within 10

seconds, the line module retains the local copy of the message string and resets the

10-second timer for that string.

For example, if a line module receives an MDL or FDL test signal message containing an

eic string, and then receives an idle signal message within 10 seconds that also contains

an eic string, it retains the local copy of the most recent eic string received and resets the

10-second timer for that message. However, if 10 seconds pass without the line module

receiving a path identification, test signal, or idle signal message containing an eic string,

the line module erases the local copy of the eic message string.

For message strings that are unique to a particular message type, the line module must

receive another message of the same type containing this string in order to retain the

local copy of the string and reset the timer. For example, if the line module receives a

test signal message containing a generator string and does not receive another test signal

message within 10 seconds, it will erase the local copy of the generator string.
