This read-only INTEGER (1..5) indicates the 'beta' value specifying the number of consecutive errored ICP cells that must be detected before the IMA state machine moves a link to the HUNT state, though only the default value is actually supported. An administrator understands this as a similar sensitivity constant to axisImaGroupAlphaValue but tuned for errored rather than fully invalid control cells. For example, since only the platform default beta is supported, an operator would rely on that fixed threshold rather than being able to adjust how many errored ICP cells trigger a HUNT-state transition.
