This object configures the coding violations threshold for the current 15-minute interval on the SONET line layer, above which an alarm is generated, applying equally to Far End and Near End measurements. An administrator uses this to catch rising low-level coding errors on the line layer early, before they escalate into errored or severely errored seconds. For example, a sudden burst of coding violations reported from the far end crossing this threshold would prompt an administrator to check the remote-side line interface.
