Fig. 6 PDH hierarchies are not synchronous, and variations can be expected in the bit rate clock - in this case a
justification mechanism is implemented. If all Ji=1, then the Ri bit does not contain information. If all
Ji=0, then Ri contains information.

ID Detection Criteria

AIS Alarm Indication Signal. It is detected if there are two or less zeros (ITU-T G.775).

LOF Loss of Frame alarm. It is raised after three consecutive frames with FAS error or
three consecutive signalling bits (ITU-T G.706).

LOS Loss of Frame Signal alarm.

RAI Remote Alarm Indication. It is detected after three consecutive frames with the A bit
equal to 1 (ITU-T G.732).

FAS error Frame Alignment Signal error, indicating an incorrect bit in the alignment word.

Bit error Bit sequence mismatch (when the transmitted pattern is known).

Code error Violation on coding sequence.

CRC-LOM Cyclic Redundancy Checksum - Loss of Multiframe. Activated if there is LOF, and
deactivated after one correct FAS and two correct CRC-MFAS (ITU-T G.706).

CAS-LOM Channel-Associated Signalling - Loss of Multiframe. Raised after two consecutive


MFAS errors or two multiframes with time slot 16 bits equal to 0 (ITU-T G.732).

CAS-MRAI Channel-Associated Signalling - Multiframe Remote Alarm Indication. Detected


after two consecutive frames with the MRAI bit equal to 1 (ITU-T G.732).

CAS-MAIS Channel-Associated Signaling - Multiframe Alarm Indication Signal. Detected if


there are less than three zeros in the time slot 16 during two consecutive
multiframes.

CRC error Cyclic Redundancy Check error. Raised if one or more bits are erroneous,
whenever CRC-LOM is off (ITU-T G.706).

REBE Remote End Block Error. Raised if the first bit of the frames 14 and 16 is 0
(ITU-T G.706).

Table 2 2 Mbps events: alarms, errors and event indications

ID Explanation

AIS Alarm Indication Signal. This is detected if less than six zeros in a frame in the
case of 140 Mbps, or less than three zeros in 34 Mbps and 8 Mbps.
LOF Loss of Frame alarm. Raised after four consecutive frames with FAS error

LOS Loss of Frame Signal alarm

RAI Remote Alarm Indication. Detected after two consecutive frames with A equals1

FAS error Frame alignment signal error. One or more incorrect bits in the alignment word.
