Error Meaning
Frame Errors Number of framing bit errors. In T1 mode, a framing bit
error is defined as an incorrect FS-bit value. The counter is
suppressed when framer loses frame alignment
OOF Errors The Out Of Frame counter registers every time the T1 chip
is forced to re-frame when receiving a frame with severe
errors.
Rec Frame Slips The Receiver Frame Slips counter shows the number of
frame slips for the receiver.
