I beg to disagree. I have reservations about no error criteria. That's imposing a far greater restriction on equipment than Criteria A for immunity. Now granted the immunity standards are in a different spirit than the Bellcore Standards. But, it would seem as though the errored second is more

Debatable in my experience which is not a lot. There's two totally different standards for errors. One's a bit error limit and the other is a time errored limit. An errored second can have any amount of errors during that second. It's not a bit error limit. It's a time errored limit.

Scott, The permissible errors relate back to your system specification (IRS) as it relates to BERs. For an OC-48 interface you may be working off a rate of around 10^-12 and it only takes a few weeks to test that !!, so the easiest and short answer is, no bit errors should be observed during

Hi Scott and the group, Just a thought... If the equipment you are testing responds unfavorably to something the environment, it does not matter that you pass GR-1089. And, I have seen lots of stuff that affected lightwave equipment not covered under 1089 that got the operating companies pretty
