Description
|
Port
|
The card port number.
|
Port Name
|
Allows you to enter a port name.
|
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:
unlocked: Puts the port in-service. The port service state changes to
unlocked-enabled.
locked,disabled: Removes the port from service and disables it. The port
service state changes to locked-enabled,disabled.
locked,maintenance: Removes the port from service for maintenance. The
port service state changes to locked-enabled,maintenance.
unlocked,automaticInService: Puts the port in automatic in-service. The port
service state changes to unlocked-disabled,automaticInService.
|
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:
unlocked-enabled: The port is fully operational and performing as
provisioned.
locked-enabled,disabled: The port is out-of-service and unable to carry
traffic.
locked-enabled,maintenance: The port is out-of-service for maintenance.
Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are
allowed.
unlocked-disabled,automaticInService: 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
unlocked-disabled,automaticInService state for the duration of the soak
period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to
unlocked-enabled.
|
SF BER
|
Sets the signal failure bit error rate.
|
SD BER
|
Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.
|
MS-SPRing Ext. Byte
|
Allows you to change the extension byte to K3, Z2, E2, or F1.
|
Provides Sync
|
If checked, the card is provisioned as an NE timing reference.
|
Sync Msg In
|
Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.
|
Admin SSM In
|
If the node does not receive an SSM signal, it defaults to STU (synchronization traceability unknown). Admin SSM allows you to override the STU value with one of the following: G811, STU, G812T, G812L, SETS, and DUS. The Admin SSM is a list of all SSM levels. You cannot select Admin SSM In if Sync Message In is enabled on the STM-N card.
|
Send <FF> DoNotUse
|
When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message that allows the S1 byte to be set with 0xFF.
|
Send Do Not Use
|
When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message on the S1 byte.
|
Type
|
Allows you to provision the STM-N cards for SDH or SONET.
|
PJVC4Mon#
|
Allows you to set the VC4 that will be used for monitoring pointer justification. If set to zero, no VC4 is used.
|
AINS Soak
|
Auto-in service soak. The determination of duration left before the traffic/termination transitions to unlocked-enabled service state.
|
ALS Mode
|
(STM-64 cards only.) Allows you to provision the automatic laser shutdown:
Disable: ALS is off; the laser is not automatically shut down when traffic
outages (LOS) occur.
Auto Restart: ALS is on; the laser automatically shuts down when traffic
outages (LOS) occur. It automatically restarts when the conditions that
caused the outage are resolved.
Manual Restart: ALS is on; the laser automatically shuts down when traffic
outages (LOS) occur. However, the laser must be manually restarted when
conditions that caused the outage are resolved.
Manual Restart for Test: Manually restarts the laser for testing.
