If you don't specify the error rate as anything, it's packet rate
(pkt), not bit rate.

I think you need to translate your BER into an approximately
equivalent byte error rate, and do

$lossmodule unit byte 

first. (the end of nsDoc 12.1 says something about "either in packets
of bits", which is extremely misleading, and imo needs fixing.)
