Threshold Crossing Alarms

TCA are alarms that are activated when a certain configurable threshold —near-end measurement threshold or far-end measurement threshold—is crossed and remains so until the end of the 15 minutes interval for parameters such as OTU and ODU. The following alarms are supported:

• Background block error threshold (BBE)

• Errored seconds threshold (ES)

• Severely errored seconds threshold (SES)

• Unavailable seconds threshold (UES)
