TABLE 19. GLOSSARY OF HIGAIN TERMS
Term
Definition
Margins
Indicates the excess signal-to-noise ratio, at the HRU-412, HDU-451, or HLU-
319, List 2D HDSL ports, relative to a 10
-7
BER. First value is current margin.
Second value is minimum margin since (C)leared last. Third value is maximum
value since cleared. NA means Not Available (loop is not in-sync). The normal
range of a typical margin is from 22 to 6 dB.
Pulse Attenuation
Indicates the attenuation of the 2B1Q pulse from the distant end. The HiGain
system operates with pulse attenuation in excess of 30 dB. This value is related
to the cable pair's 196 kHz loss. The pulse attenuation is a more direct indication
of the loop attenuation to the 2B1Q signal than the 196 kHz loss. The normal
range of pulse attenuation is from 1 to 32 dB.
PPM
Indicates the relative offset of the crystal oscillator in the HRU-412 from the HLU-
319, List 2D crystal oscillator. Any value between -64 and +64 is adequate.
Values outside this range indicate out-of-tolerance components or excessive
temperature drift in critical components.
HDSL 24 Hours ES
(Errored Seconds)
The number of 1-second intervals which contained at least 1 HDSL CRC error.
This value is a running total of the last 24 hours.
HDSL 24 Hours UAS
(Unavailable Seconds)
The number of seconds the HDSL loop was out-of-sync.
DS1 BPV Seconds (ES)
The number of seconds in which at least 1 BPV was detected on the T1 input.
DS1 UAS Count
The number of seconds during which the T1 input signal was absent (125 or
more consecutive “0”).
Frame Type
Type of T1 framing used on the input stream (SF, ESF, Unframed or No Activity).
Code Type
Type of T1 line coding used (AMI, B8ZS, AMI : ZBTSI or B8ZS : ZBTSI). The
latter two conditions indicate the line code that is being received when the HiGain
system is set to its ZBTSI mode. In either the AMI or the B8ZS conditions, the
code type displays the user-selected code, as opposed to the type of code that is
actually being received. (The user-selected code is displayed when set to Auto
mode.)
HLU/Ver w.x-y
“w.x” = software version number of the HLU-319, List 2D.
“y” = list number of HLU-319, List 2D.
HRU/Ver a.b-c
“a.b” = software version number of the HRU-412. “c” = list number of HRU-412.
HDU1/Ver s.t-u
“s.t.” = software version number of the HDU-451 #1.
“u” = list number of the HDU-451 #1.
HDU2/Ver f.g-h
“f.g.” = software version number of the HDU-451 #2.
“h” = list number of the HDU-451 #2.
