Access Manager 2000 User Manual

the signal received from the network is looped back to the network
(ESS) as a keep-alive when a loss of signal (LOS) is detected on the
incoming signal from the EQP.

The default setting for this option is

YES

(AIS keep-alive).

This option determines the mode of operation of the local BER alarm.
When this option is set to

NO

(default setting), the alarm indicator on the

CSU clears when the alarm condition clears.

If this option is set to

YES

, the local alarm indicator stays on after the

condition clears, until the alarm cutoff (ACO) button is pressed.

If the ACO button is pressed while the alarm condition still exists, the
ACO LED and function activate, but the alarm LED remains lit. When the
alarm condition clears, the alarm clears and the ACO LED goes off.

When this option is enabled (

YES

), it allows automatic transmission of

Performance Report Messages (PRMs) defined by ANSI T1.403-1989.
The PRM transmits the last four seconds of performance data every
second on the ESF Data Link for use by Telco monitoring equipment.
Enable this option only when the use of PRMs is required. The default
setting is

NO

.

The

Encode

option controls the transmit direction to the NET, and the

Decode

option controls the receive direction from the NET. These

options are both defaulted to

NO

, which selects AMI line coding.

To select B8ZS coding on the NET, set both options to

YES

. These two

options are combined in the 4016 List 1. If you enter

YES

, then the CSU

encodes the signal to the NET and decodes the signal from the NET.

This option determines whether the CSU circuit element generates a new
CRC-6 code toward the NET or passes the incoming CRC-6 code from
the EQP to the NET.

To pass the incoming CRC-6 bits from the EQP to the network, set this
option to

NO

(disable CRC regeneration when the EQP generates the

CRC-6 code).
