Smart Mode
SmartMode allows to automatically identify the structure of the selected
SONET/SDH signal rate that is connected to the Transport Blazer module.
The identified signal structure can then, be used to simplify the setup of a
test case. SmartMode allows also to monitor the basic SONET/SDH
alarms/errors of each layer of the discovered signal structure.
Note: SmartMode is not available when a test is running. No other test functions
are available when SmartMode is running (Smart Scan, Trib Scan or Alarm
Scan). SmartMode is not available on the FTB-8140.
The Smart Mode window is displayed by default when the GUI is started
