Performing a Tributary Scan
TIP:
The SDH/SONET Tributary Scan display can be logged to the chosen logging
device. See "Logging on Demand " page 146.
HOW TO:
1
Set up the transmit and receive SDH/SONET interfaces and payload as required.
See “Setting Transmit Interface” on page 20 (for SDH) and page 60 (for SONET)
and also “Setting Receive Interface” on page 30 (for SDH) and page 70 (for
SONET).
2
Choose the required BIT ERROR THRESHOLD.
This determines the error rate above which a failure is declared.
3
Choose the required TEST TIMING.
The value you choose is the test time for each individual tributary and not the total
test time.
For example, 28 VT-1.5 tributaries in an STS-1 SPE - the time taken to complete
the Tributary Scan will be 28 X TEST TIMING choice.
