This holds the previous ABCD bit pattern that was successfully matched, validated against the make/break timing windows, as a recognized signal transition on this DS0's incoming line. Comparing this last confirmed pattern against the current raw pattern in ccasILSRxPattern lets an admin see whether the line has genuinely transitioned states or is bouncing in a way that has not yet met the debounce/timing requirements to count as a real transition. If ccasILSMatchedRxPattern still shows the seize pattern from ten seconds ago while ccasILSRxPattern is now flickering between patterns, that flicker likely has not persisted long enough to register as a new confirmed transition.
