ST112 SONET Transmission Test Set
Functional Verification
A functional verification of the
ST112 SONET Transmission Test Set
can be performed while
reviewing this chapter. To do so, connect the three front panel receiver inputs (one laser and two
electrical) to their appropriate front panel outputs, as shown in Figure 3–1. To avoid overdriving
the receiver and avoid erroneous errors and readings, use a 10 to 15 dB attinuator for the OC-n
Loopback connection. Any one of the electrical outputs for DSX-1 and DSX-3 will work. Be
sure to read and observe all of the appropriate safety rules in
chapters 1 and 2
.

Setup Menu System
Pressing the setup key at any time will cause the
ST112 SONET Transmission Test Set
to enter
the Setup Menu System, accessing the menus and submenus shown in Figure 3–2 and Figure 3–
3. Four keys are used to navigate through this menu system: Setup, Enter, Increment, and
Decrement. The left and right arrow keys are used to move the cursor. The increment and
decrement keys can be used to move the cursor and change values.
The left column of Figure 3–2 shows nine main menus that make up the Setup main menu system. It
is a continuous loop that begins with the SONET QUICKSET LCD display and ends with the
ST2400 COM LINK display menu.
When power is applied the first three LCD splash screens will display the following:

number and all
front panel LEDs will illuminate, verifying their operation.
The third splash screen and all of the illuminated LEDs will continuously be displayed if you
press and hold the HISTORY VIEW key before the power key is set to on, and continue to hold
it in during the power up cycle. The OUICKSET LCD will not be displayed until you release
the HISTORY VIEW key. This feature is only available in version 4.1 software.
