ITU-T G.826 and M.2100 Error Analysis
The basic parameters which are used to assess error PERFORMANCE LIMITS FOR BRINGING INTO SERVICE (BIS)
performance are ES and SES, defined as: When the RPO has been calculated for the link or path to be

that are monitored or detected to initiate ES and SES events.
Most events give an indication of the state of the line being
monitored (receive direction) while the E and A bits are the
remote end’s indication of the state of the transmit line (send
direction). This enables the overall path status to be assessed.
Conclusions
Both 285X and 284X provide implementations of ITU-T
Recommendations G.826 and M.2100, which, together with
the traditional G.821 capability, offer the error performance
measurements required for the full range of PDH bit rates from
64 kbit/s to 140 Mbit/s. Full programmability of parameter
threshold limits, with the ability to report threshold alarms both
on-screen and as part of Autoprint routines, eases the burden
on network installation and maintenance engineers.
