Selecting Test Features

Using Transmit Overhead Setup

If

(Transport Overhead) is chosen, choose the STS-1 to be

displayed. Many bytes in

and

are unlabeled as the

other overhead functions have not yet been defined.
If

is chosen, the hexadecimal value of all 81 bytes of the

STS-3 section & line overhead selected are displayed (all 324 bytes of
an OC-12 or 1,296 bytes of an OC-48 are displayed 81 bytes at a time
by selecting each STS-3 in turn). The value of the bytes can be set
using

.

If BYTE NAMES is chosen, the labels for the

overhead

bytes are displayed.

If POH (Path Overhead) is chosen, choose the TYPE of overhead
within STS-1 under test to be setup.
J1 and J2 bytes can be set under Path Overhead or Trace Messages.
H4 byte has a choice of sequences for VT-2, VT-1.5 and VT-6 mapping:
Full Sequence - 48 byte binary sequence.
Reduced Sequence - Binary count sequence of 0 to 3 i.e. 111111(00
to 11).
COC1 Sequence - Binary count sequence of 0 to 3 i.e. 110000(00 to
11).
H4 byte is transmitted as all zero’s for 34 Mb/s and DS3.

If TRACE MESSAGES is chosen, see "Setting Overhead Trace
Messages " page 26.
