atm sonet threshold
To configure the bit error rate (BER) threshold values for an ATM interface, use the atm sonet threshold command in interface configuration mode. To reset a threshold value to its default value, use the no form of this command.
atm sonet threshold {b1-tca value | b2-tca value | b3-tca value | sd-ber value | sf-ber value}
no atm sonet threshold {b1-tca | b2-tca | b3-tca | sd-ber | sf-ber}
Syntax Description
b1-tca value |
Sets the threshold for B1 threshold crossing (B1-TCA) alarms. The value specifies a negative exponent to the power of 10 (10 to the power of minus value ) for the threshold value, with a default value of 6 (10e-6). |
b2-tca value |
Sets the threshold for B2 threshold crossing (B2-TCA) alarms. The value specifies a negative exponent to the power of 10 (10 to the power of minus value ) for the threshold value, with a default value of 6 (10e-6). |
b3-tca value |
Sets the threshold for B3 threshold crossing (B3-TCA) alarms. The value specifies a negative exponent to the power of 10 (10 to the power of minus value ) for the threshold value, with a default value of 6 (10e-6). |
sd-ber value |
Sets the threshold for signal degrade bit error rate (SD-BER) alarms. The value specifies a negative exponent to the power of 10 (10 to the power of minus value ) for the threshold value, with a default value of 6 (10e-6). |
sf-ber value |
Sets the threshold for signal failure bit error rate (SF-BER) alarms. The value specifies a negative exponent to the power of 10 (10 to the power of minus value ) for the threshold value, with a default value of 3 (10e-3). |
Command Default
The default values are 6 (10e-6) for b1-tca , b2-tca , b3-tca , and sd-ber . The default value is 3 (10e-3) for sf-ber .

Usage Guidelines
The atm sonet threshold command configures the allowable threshold for errors before a Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) alarm is reported. The different SONET alarms report on errors at different points in the SONET network, allowing for the source of a problem to be more easily identified.
Use the atm sonet threshold command to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the ATM interface to these SONET alarms, depending on the nature of your network and application needs. In particular, if a particular problem seems to be occurring, you can increase the sensitivity of the related alarm to help you more quickly troubleshoot and diagnose the problem.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the threshold for B1 threshold crossings:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface atm 3/1/1
Router(config-if)# atm sonet threshold b1-tca 9
Router(config-if)# end
Router#
Use the show controllers atm command to display the currently configured BER threshold values:
Router# show controllers atm 5/1/0
Interface ATM5/1/0 is up
