Slip Detection
Slips — synchronization errors — slow digital transmissions and can result in
data loss. The switch maintains a slip-count record for each DS1 interface to
detect errors and evaluate their severity (the type of alarm). If as many as 50
percent of those spans administered for slip detection are experiencing slips (with
respect to the primary), then a decision is made to switch to the secondary.
