This integer sets the Severely Errored Seconds count that, if exceeded over the current full-day Line-layer interval, triggers a statistical alarm, defaulting to 7 and applying identically to near-end and far-end. An admin cares because this daily threshold catches several separate SES events spread throughout the day in either direction, none individually enough to trip the tighter 15-minute threshold of 3. For example, four near-end and three far-end SES events scattered across the day would together push a combined per-direction total past this threshold of 7 even though no single 15-minute window reached 3.
