The issue number is determined by the hardware and is transmitted by the downstream in C-MSGS1 during initialization. The upstream device transmits the issue number in an R-MSGS1 message during initialization. The possible issue numbers are:
Enterprise Specific State---The value of this object specifies the enterprise-specific status of the downstream device. Possible values include: other or standard. If the value is other, and the downstream device is in an unrecognized state, then the value of this object is unknown. If the value is other, and the downstream device is not in an unrecognized state, then the value of this object specifies the enterprise-specific state of the downstream device.
Common
The Common area displays the following attributes:

After initialization, unknown is reported until sufficient autonomous eoc messages have been transmitted to determine the true capability of both ATUs. The possible values displayed and the corresponding meaning is as follows:
Trellis Encoding---Reports whether the Trellis coding is used on the DMT Line. Use of trellis coding is determined at line initialization with C-MSGS1 and R-MSGS1 exchanges and does not change until the line is re-initialized. The possible values displayed are as follows:
DMT Line Overhead Framing---This object represents the negotiated overhead framing structure being used downstream and upstream.
The Channel tab displays fast and interleaved channel status information for the selected DMT line card. The Channel tab (Figure 6-6) has two areas: Fast and Interleaved.

The Virtual Tributary tab displays errors encountered while converting between STS and OC signals. The Virtual Tributary tab contains one area, Virtual Tributary (Figure 6-11).
The Virtual Tributary area displays the following attributes:
Remote Failure Indication---A SONET port status indicator activates when a Path Remote Defect Indication (PRDI) occurs and does not clear throughout the alarm integration period, which is typically 2.5 seconds. A Remote Failure Indication occurs when bit 5 of the G1 byte is set to 1 for 10 consecutive frames. This occurrence begins the alarm integration period. If this period elapses without the detection of 10 consecutive frames in which all G1 bit 5s are set to 0, the PRFI indicator activates. The PRFI indicator clears when a PRDI does not occur for a time interval equal to the alarm deactivation period (typically 10 seconds).

Loss of Pointer---Indicates whether the virtual tributary loss of pointer errors are enabled or disabled.
Remote Defect Indication---Indicates whether the path remote defect indication errors are enabled or disabled.
Unequipped---Indicates STS payload unequipped: no virtual tributary originating equipment.
