The performance fields provide status information on
key performance measures for the DS3 port. Except for
CLR, these fields are all read-only. The monitored pa-
rameters include the following:
•
PRT - Displays the port number
•
CLR - Clears performance information for the se-
lected port
•
ES_L (Errored Seconds - Line) - Count of seconds
containing excessive zeros, LOS, or BPVs, not due
to line code substitutions.
•
SES_L (Severely Errored Seconds - Line) - Count
of seconds containing excessive zeros, LOS, or
BPVs, not due to line code substitutions above a
predetermined threshold.
•
LOSS_L (Loss of Signal Second - Line) - Count of
seconds of LOS condition.
•
CV_P (Code Violation - Path) - For the M13 appli-
cation, an accumulation of P-bit parity errors. For
the C-bit parity application, an accumulation of CP-
bit parity errors.
•
ES_P (Errored Second - Path) - An accumulation of
seconds during which any one of the following con-
ditions exist: parity errors, severely errored frame,
or AIS signal received.
•
SAS_P (SEF/AIS Second) - An accumulation of
seconds during which severely errored frames or
AIS signal is received.
•
SES_P (Severely Errored Seconds - Path) - An ac-
cumulation of seconds during which parity errors,
severely errored frame, or AIS signal is received.
•
UAS_P (Unavailable Seconds - Path) - An accumu-
lation of one-second intervals during which the DS3
path is unavailable; i.e., 10 contiguous SES_Ps.

DS3 C
ONFIGURATION
All of the following configurable parameters apply
whether or not the port is connected to a channelized
DS3 circuit.

Read security: 5
Displays the port number.
P

Read security: 5; Write security: 3
Accepts any alphanumeric name up to 16 characters
long to uniquely identify each port on the DS3 Mod-
ule.
F

ORMAT
Read security: 5; Write security: 2
This field must be set to match the frame format of
the DS3 circuit. Choose either
CBIT or M13.
C
LOCK
S
OURCE
Read security: 5; Write security: 2
Controls the clocking used for the DS3 circuit clock.
Choose
R
ECOVERED
to use the clocking received on
the DS3 or
I
NTERNAL
to use the provided ±20 PPM
crystal source in the Total Access 4303.
LBO
Read security: 5; Write security: 2
Selects the Line Build Out (LBO) for the network in-
terface. When connecting a DS3 module port to a
DS3 interface, this parameter is set to match the dis-
tance (in feet) between the Total Access 4303 and
the device to which it is connecting. When this item
is selected, choose
S
HORT
for 0-50 feet and L
ONG
for
51-250 feet.
