Error Can indicate line
degradation. Could be caused by a port
failure at any ATM interface.
Verify the port is online, check
configuration, look for
indications of high BER (Bit
Error Rate), increase threshold
settings if necessary, use line
loopback to troubleshoot path
through port.

Degradation T3 P-bit coding violations
threshold crossing alert. Path code violations indicate a
parity mismatch in the SONET
or DSX path.
Examine the
physical circuit to determine if
there are any impairments.
