sends Performance Report Messages (PRMs) for the synchronous data port.
Near-End Performance Statistics does not appear if:
– EDL is set to Disable.
– Management Link is set to FDL.
NOTE:
If the local T1 access unit is configured to send “Near-end” performance
statistics, then the remote T1 access unit must be configured to maintain
“Far-end” performance statistics.
Disable – Does not maintain “Near-end” performance statistics or send PRMs.
Maintain – Maintain “Near-end” performance statistics for the port.
Send – Send PRMs over the port’s EDL every second. Each PRM contains the
performance statistics for the previous 4 seconds.
Both – Maintain “Near-end” performance statistics and send PRMs over the port’s EDL.
Far-End Performance Statistics
Possible Settings: Disable, Maintain
Default Setting: Disable
Specifies whether the T1 access unit maintains “Far-end” performance statistics and
sends Performance Report Messages (PRMs) for the synchronous data port.
Far-End Performance Statistics does not appear if:
– EDL is set to Disable.
– Management Link is set to FDL.
NOTE:
If the local T1 access unit is configured to maintain “Far-end” performance
statistics, then the remote T1 access unit must be configured to send
“Near-end” performance statistics.
Disable – Does not monitor the port’s EDL for PRMs or maintain “Far-end” performance
statistics.
Maintain – Monitors the port’s EDL for PRMs and maintains “Far-end” performance
statistics.
Out of Frame (OOF) Alarm
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Out of Frame (OOF). Specifies whether an alarm is generated when an out-of-frame
condition is detected on the synchronous data port.
