Line


Use the Line subtab to provision the DS3-12 and DS3N-12 card line parameters.

Port

The card port number.

Port Name

Enter the name of the electrical port.

Admin State

The port administration state. Choosing an administrative state from the drop-down list and clicking Apply changes the port's service state unless network conditions prevent the change. Admin states include:

  • IS-Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to IS-NR.

  • OOS,DSBLD-Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to OOS-MA,DSBLD.

  • OOS,MT-Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to OOS-MA,MT. For loopbacks, the OOS,MT admin state must be initiated.

  • IS,AINS-Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port service state changes to OOS-AU,AINS.

Service State

An autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. Port service states include:

  • IS-NR-(In-Service and Normal) The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

  • OOS-MA,DSBLD-(Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled) The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

  • OOS-MA,MT-(Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance) The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

  • OOS-AU,AINS-(Out-Of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service) The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in OOS-AU,AINS state for the duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to IS-NR.

SF BER

Sets the signal failure bit error rate.

SD BER

Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.

Line Length

Defines the distance (in feet) from the backplane connection to the next termination point.

AINS Soak

Auto-in service soak. The amount of time left before the traffic/termination transitions to IS state.

Apply

Applies changes made to the fields in the tab.

Reset

Cancels any changes to the tab and returns the fields to their last-saved settings.
