This variable indicates the status of the sonet line. This object is updated every 15-minutes. Once the current 15-min window has passed, and there are no errors in the current 15-min window, the object is cleared from the lower level sonet task. The cwsLineStatAlarmStatus is a bit map represented as a sum, therefore, it can represent multiple defects simultaneously. If none of the bits are set, it indicates no defect. The various bit-positions are: 1 sonetLineTotalESs 2 sonetLineTotalSESs 3 sonetLineTotalCVs 4 sonetLineTotalUASs 5 sonetLineCurrentESs 6 sonetLineCurrentSESs 7 sonetLineCurrentCVs 8 sonetLineCurrentUASs 9 sonetFarEndLineTotalESs 10 sonetFarEndLineTotalSESs 11 sonetFarEndLineTotalCVs 12 sonetFarEndLineTotalUASs 13 sonetFarEndLineCurrentESs 14 sonetFarEndLineCurrentSESs 15 sonetFarEndLineCurrentCVs 16 sonetFarEndLineCurrentUASs
