Line > SONET

Use the Line > SONET subtab to provision the TXP and MXP the payload line parameters when a SONET payload is provisioned on the PPM (pluggable port module) tab.

Port

Displays the card port number.

Port Name

Allows you to enter a port name.

Admin State

Sets 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 In-Service and Normal (IS-NR).

  • OOS,DSBLD-Removes the port from service and disables it. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD).

  • OOS,MT-Removes the port from service for maintenance. The port service state changes to Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (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 Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS).

Service State

Shows the autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Primary State-Primary State Qualifier, Secondary State. For additional state information, see States.

SF BER

Sets the signal failure bit error rate.

SD BER

Sets the signal degrade bit error rate.

AINS Soak

Sets the automatic in-service soak timer, which is the amount of time that must pass with an uninterrupted signal before the traffic/termination transitions to the IS-NR service state.

Type

Sets the signal type, either SONET or SDH.

ALS Mode

Provisions the automatic laser shutdown:

  • Disable: ALS is off; the laser is not automatically shut down when traffic outages (loss of signal [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.

Provides Sync

(TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_L, TXP_MR_10E_C, MXP_MR_10DME_L, and MXP_MR_10DME_C only.) If checked, the card is provisioned as a network element (NE) timing reference.

SyncMsgIn

(TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_L, TXP_MR_10E_C, MXP_MR_10DME_L, and MXP_MR_10DME_C only.) Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.

Send DoNotUse

(TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_L, TXP_MR_10E_C, MXP_MR_10DME_L, and MXP_MR_10DME_C only.) When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message on the S1 byte.

Reach

(Does not apply to all cards.) Provisions the reach value. You can also choose Auto Provision, which allows the system to automatically provision the reach from the PPM reach value on the hardware. The reach distances follow (the options that appear in the drop-down list depend on the card):

  • SR (short reach, up to 2-km distance)

  • SR-1 (up to 2-km distance)

  • IR-1 (intermediate reach, up to 15-km distance)

  • IR-2 (up to 40-km distance)

  • LR-1 (long reach, up to 40-km distance)

  • LR-2 (up to 80-km distance)

  • LR-3 (up to 80-km distance)

Wavelength

(Does not apply to all cards.) Sets the wavelength frequency.

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.

Help

Displays context-sensitive help.
