3.8  Event/Error Counters
The 24 counters to count line and interface events or errors are summarized in 
Table 3-18
 and explained in 
Tables 3-20
 through 
Table 3-24
. The first nine (addresses 0x40
–
0x48) provide counts of error events from the 
line or PHY framers. The events that are counted depend on the mode of operation and are summarized in 
Table 3-19
. The remaining counters provide counts of ATM cell events.
Counters 5
–
9 can be programmed to count block errors instead of individual errors for BIP and FEBE status 
by setting Count Block Errors (bit 11) in CONFIG_3. This provides support for G.826 performance monitoring.
Register summary cheat sheets are illustrated in 
Figures 3-2
 and 
3-3
