Selecting the Rate in FOM Mode
Being able to select any “N x 8k” rate between 96k and 16384k creates over 2,000
possible rate selections. The VersaMux system enables you to select the
granularity of the rate options when you are in Fiber FOM mode. The rate menus
(in FOM mode) enables you to use the following rate filter options:
•
<N x 8K>
•
<N x 64K>
•
<N x 256K>
•
<N x 1024K>
For example, suppose you want to change the rate from 1024K to 2064K with the
minimum amount of key “strokes.” You would first press the Enter key to switch to
edit mode. Next use the down key to select the
<N x 1024K>
filter option, then
press the right arrow key once to change the rate to 2048K. Use the down arrow
key to select the
<N x 8K>
filter option and press the right arrow key twice (to
reach 2064k).
Note that pressing the up arrow key returns to the
Rate
sub-menu parameter
without making changes to the rate.
shows the sub-menu structure and navigation for the rate filter (from
the front panel interface).
