5、n American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reache

6、d by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of American National Sta

Abstract This standard provides performance monitoring functions and requirements applicable to

12、 DS1 digital transmission signals. This standard provides functional requirements to support maintenance and is not meant to be an equipment specification.

13、3 ii Foreword The information contained in this Foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSIs requirements for an ANS. As such, this Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process.

14、In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the standard. This American National Standard is one of a series of maintenance operations standards developed by Technical Subcommittee T1M1 of Committee T1 - Telecommunications. Committee T1 standards serve the public throu

15、gh improved understanding between carriers, end-users, and manufacturers. This standard specifies a basic set of monitoring requirements, and provides criteria that are common to a set of standards, the T1.231 series, which define applications for a specific level in the digital hierarchy. The docum

16、ents, which are included in the T1.231 series (at the time that this document is approved), are listed below: T1.231-2003, Digital Hierarchy Layer 1 In-Service Transmission Performance Monitoring. T1.231.01-2003,DSL Layer 1 In-Service Transmission Performance Monitoring. T1.231.02-2003, DS1 Layer 1

18、. (This standard is not yet approved.) This particular standard will be useful to anyone engaged in the design, provisioning, or operation of telecommunications equipment or services utilizing DS1 digital transmission technology. The standard establishes uniform and consistent performance monitoring

19、 functions and requirements applicable to Layer1 DS1 digital transmission signals. This standard is intended to be a living document, subject to revision and updating as warranted by advances in digital transmission technology Compliance with the standard should provide uniform and consistent measur

20、ement parameters and techniques for DS1 circuits, facilities, and networks. In some cases, location-oriented options are needed to ensure compatibility: this need for options is imposed by significant differences between network providers as well as between network elements Requirements are designat

21、ed by the word shall while recommendations utilize the word should. Requirements specify the minimum acceptable functionality for effective performance monitoring in a network element; recommendations identify functionality that may enhance performance monitoring capabilities for some users. There i

22、s one annex in this standard, which is informative and is not considered part of the standard. Suggestions for the improvement of this standard will be welcome They should be sent to the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, 1200 G Street, NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC, 20005.

25、elated to the collection, storage, thresholding, and reporting of performance monitoring information; and It establishes the performance monitoring functions that may be used at network interfaces between telecommunication carriers, at network boundaries, and at customer premises to permit compatibl

26、e maintenance operations. Although this standard establishes ranges over which transmission performance can be measured, it does not establish any requirements or guidelines for levels of performance. This standard refers to other American National Standards that address digital transmission and per

For more details about DS1 line and path formats, see T1.102-1993 (R1999) and T1.403-1999. 4.1 Abbreviations and Convent

44、ions All the primitives, parameters, failures, and other indicators and signals defined in this standard are abbreviated to simplify the text. The abbreviations are included with the definitions in the appropriate clauses of this standard. In many cases, the same general name (e.g., code violation,

45、errored second, etc.) applies to all entities for a particular digital signal. The identification of the entity is determined by the suffix applied to the abbreviation of the general name. A dash followed by an “L“ indicates the Line entity, and a “P“ indicates the Path entity. Items defined for nea

46、r-end monitoring have no additional suffixes, while far-end items append “FE“ to the entity suffix. For example, ES-P designates near-end Errored Seconds at the path layer, while ES-PFE designates the same parameter for the far-end. NP and NPFE indicates a network path used to differentiate failures

47、 and errors between the CI and network. 4.2 Performance Primitives Table 1 and Table 2 summarize the performance primitives that are judged to be useful for in-service performance monitoring. DS1 primitives and are described below. Support of the primitives in a network element is indicated in the t
