SONET Thresholds Tab for Setting Threshold Values
Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example,
customers with a critical STS-1 installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best quality of service on the
line; therefore, they lower all thresholds so that the slightest error raises a TCA.
12.2 Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring
Intermediate-path performance monitoring (IPPM) allows a nonterminating node to transparently
monitor a constituent channel of an incoming transmission signal. ONS 15600 networks only use line
terminating equipment (LTE), not path terminating equipment (PTE).
