Performing a Tributary Scan
Description
Verifying an ADM Installation
The OmniBER 720’s tributary scan feature allows you to quickly test the routing of
VC-n/STS-1 paths through digital cross connects and ADMs (when the tributary
interfaces are synchronous). It does this by automatically testing each path through
the network element for bit errors or a pattern loss. The example given below is
applicable for both SONET and SDH applications.
Tributary Scan tests each tributary for error free operation and no occurrence of
Pattern Loss. A failure is indicated by highlighting the tributary in which the failure
occurred. The
,
mapping setup determines the
tributary structure. The OmniBER 720 will configure the Transmitter to the
Receiver and the PATTERN is forced to the payload it will fill.
