Alarm indication signal
Appearance
Alarm indication signal (AIS) is a signal transmitted by a system that is part of a telecommunications link to let the receiver know that the link is logically, but not physically, dead.
There are a number of types of AIS signals, which signal failure of different logical or physical segments of the system, including:
- Alarm indication signal path (AIS-P)
- Alarm indication signal line (AIS-L)
