Configuring WAN-PHY Signal Failure and Signal Degrade Bit Error Rates
This section describes how to configure WAN-PHY Signal Failure (SF) and Signal Degrade (SD) Bit Error
Rate (BER) reporting and thresholds.
A Signal Failure (SF) alarm is declared if the line bit error (B2) rate exceeds a user-provisioned threshold
range (over the range of 10e-3 to 10e-9).
A Signal Degrade (SD) alarm is declared if the line bit error (B2) rate exceeds a user-provisioned threshold
range (over the range of 10e-3 to 10e-9). If the B2 errors cross the SD threshold, a warning of link quality
degradation is triggered. The WAN-PHY alarms are required for some users who are upgrading their Layer
2 core network from a SONET ring to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet ring.
Prerequisites
This section describes the prerequisites for configuring the BER threshold values on a 1-Port 10-Gigabit
Ethernet LAN/WAN PHY SPA:
• The controller must be in the WAN-PHY mode prior to configuring the SF and SD BER reporting and
• The WAN-PHY mode is supported only on the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN PHY SPA
