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 CT-Bus clock setup.

Meaning
Line Code Error is defined as an occurrence of a bi-polar
variation or excessive zeroes.
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.
Transmit Frame Slips counter shows the number of
frame slips for the transmitter
Use the Clear button to reset the statistics counters.
Notes
For T1, you can set the Frame Type to either SF or ESF.
•
SF (Superframe Format) consists of 12 consecutive
frames. ESF (Extended Superframe Format) consists of
24 consecutive frames.
For E1, you can set the Frame Type to either No CRC or
•
CRC4. CRC4 is embedded into 16 consecutive frames.
For T1, you can set the Line Code to either AMI or
•
B8ZS. AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) is the line coding
format in T1 transmission systems whereby successive
ones (marks) are alternately inverted and sent with
opposite polarity of the preceding mark. B8ZS (Binary 8
Zero Substitution) sends two violations of the bipolar line
encoding technique, rather than inserting a one for every
seven consecutive zeros.
For E1, you can set the Line Code to either AMI or
•
HDB3. HDB3 (High Density Bipolar Order) is based on
AMI, but extends this by inserting violation codes
whenever there is a run of four or more zeros.
You can set the Zero Code Suppression to None (default
setting), Jam Bit 8, GTE or Bell.
Zero Code Suppression inserts a "one" bit to prevent the
transmission of eight or more consecutive "zero" bits; Jam
Bit 8 forces every bit 8 to a one; GTE Zero Code
Suppression replaces bit 8 of an all zero channel byte to a
one, except in signaling frames where bit 7 is forced to a
one. Bell Zero Code Suppression replaces bit 7 of an all zero
channel byte with a one.
CD Bits Handling is not editable.
