Byte Symbole Name Function

APS (automatic Protection this byte along with first five bits of the K2 byte
K1 (MSOH)
Switching) allocated for the protection of the multiplex section

the first five bits of the K2 byte allocated for the

protection of the multiplex section along with K1
byte. b6, b7, b8 are used to return an indecation to
K2 (MSOH) the transmiter Tx that the reciever Rx detected MS-
AIS by inserting 110 code
APS (automatic Protection
Switching) and MS-RDI(Remote
Defect Indecation)
this byte is used to send the remote error code
indecation of the multiplex section detected by BIP-
24 (B2).
MS-REI (Multiplex Section-
M1 (MSOH)
Remote Error Code Indecation)

error monitoring shall be Bit Interleaved Parity 24

(BIP-24) code using even parity. The BIP-24 is
multiplexer section error computed over all bits of the previous STM-N
B2 (MSOH) frame. If the error code 1/1000 MS-BBE alarm will
