Table 2. Front-Panel Alarm Messages
Message Description
LOSW Indicates that one of the HDSL loops has lost sync.
LLOS Indicates that no signal is detected at the DSX-1 input to the HLU.
RLOS Indicates that no signal is detected at the DS1 input to the HRU.
BER A system Bit Error Rate alarm is in effect.
MAL1 or MAL2 The margin on HDSL Loop 1 or Loop 2 has dropped below the threshold set by the user.
NONE No alarm present.
NOTE: Alarm (ALRM) displays priorto an alarm message. Pressing the SELbutton initiates an Alarm Cutoff (ACO) condition.

8-Zero Substitution (B8ZS).
PLEV xxxx Indicates the HDSL line voltage in its LOW (-140 Vdc), HIGH (±112 Vdc), or DIS
(disabled state).

UNFR = configures the HiGain system to operate in an unframed mode.
HAIS 2LP = transmits the AIS signal at both the HLU and the HRU T1 output ports when both
HDSL loops are not in sync (LOSW); 1LP =applieswhen eitherof the twoHDSL loopsare
not in sync or if a Margin alarm occurs.
SAIS Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) transmission of AIS signal during NREM/SMJK
loopbacks.
RDA Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) alarm indications due to remote DS1 LOS at HRU input.
ALMP Enables a line to outputan (AIS) payload ofall onesor an (LOS)condition at its DS1 ports
for LOSW, DS1 LOS, and margin alarms.
BPVT Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) bipolar violation transparency (conversion of input DS1
BPVs and HDSL CRC errors into DS1 BPVs at the distant end’s DS1 output port).
MARG(a)
(a) MARG can only be set through the Maintenance Terminal.
Sets Margin Alarm Threshold (0 to 15 dB). Default = 4dB.
DS0(b)
(b) DSO can only be set through the Maintenance Terminal.
