The OC3 Line > OC3 Line subtab allows you to view the OSC-CSM and OSCM OC3 line parameters.

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 IS-NR.

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

  • 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.

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.

Provides Sync

If checked, the card is provisioned as an NE timing reference.

SyncMsgIn

Enables synchronization status messages (S1 byte), which allow the node to choose the best timing source.

Send DoNotUse

When checked, sends a DUS (do not use) message on the S1 byte.

PJSTSMon#

Allows you to set the synchronous transport signal (STS) that will be used for pointer justification. If set to zero, no STS is used.

AINS Soak

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

Type

Sets the type of port. For OSC-CSM and OSCM, the choices are SONET or SDH.

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.
