Bit12/Alarm Indication Signal Clear Detected (AISC).
This latched read-only event status bit will be
set to a one each time the T3/E3 framer no longer detects the AIS alarm state. This bit will be cleared
when read and will not be set again until the device once again exits the AIS alarm state. The AIS alarm
criteria is described in Tables 5.3A and 5.3B. This status bit is useful in helping the host determine if the
AIS persists as defined in ANSI T1.231.
Bit13/Remote Alarm Indication Clear Detected (RAIC).
This latched read-only event-status bit will
be set to a one each time the T3/E3 framer no longer detects the RAI alarm state. This bit will be cleared
when read and will not be set again until the device once again exits the RAI alarm state. The RAI alarm
criteria is described in Tables 5.3A and 5.3B. This status bit is useful in helping the host determine if the
RAI persists as defined in ANSI T1.231.
5.4 T3/E3 Performance Error Counters
There are six error counters in the DS3112. All of the errors counters are 16 bits in length. The host has
three options as to how these errors counters are updated. The device can be configured to automatically
update the counters once a second or manually via either an internal software bit (MECU) or an external
signal (FRMECU). See Section 4.2 for details. All the error counters saturate when full and will not
rollover.

Bits 0 to 15/16-Bit BiPolar Violation Counter (BPV0 to BPV15).
These bits report the number of
BiPolar Violations (BPV). In the E3 Mode, this counter can also be configured via the E3CVE bit in the
T3E3 Control Register (Section 5.2) to count Code Violations (CV). A BPV is defined as consecutive
pulses (or marks) of the same polarity that are not part of a B3ZS/HDB3 code word. A CV is defined in
ITU O.161 as consecutive BPVs of the same polarity.
