Configuring SRM 3T3 Cards

Configuring SRM 3T3 Cards

The SRM 3T3 module provides 1:N redundancy for the FRSM8, the CESM8 and the AUSM8 and service modules over T3 lines, and T1 distribution.

Selecting the Card and Displaying Card Parameters

Select the SRM card to display SRM card configuration dialogs by doing one of the following:

The SRM Card Category menu contains the following items:

These dialogs are described in the sections that follow.

SRM 3T3 Card Configuration Dialog

Use this dialog to view SRM3T3 Card characteristics, hardware, firmware, and status information.

The Card Configuration dialog parameters are described in Table 16-1.

Note This is not a configurable dialog.

Lines

The SRM3T3 Lines Parameters are described in Table 16-2.


Table 16-2: SRM3T3 dsx3 Lines Table Parameters
Parameter Description

Line Number

Line number.

Line Enable

Line enabled status. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • modify: Used to modify the parameters of a T3 line that has already been enabled.

  • enable: Turns on one T3 line signal.

  • disable: Turn off one T3 line signal.

Line Type

Indicates the variety of DS3 C-bit or E3 application implementing this interface. The type of interface affects the interpretation of the usage and error statistics. The rate of DS3 is 44.736 Mbps and E3 is 34.368 Mbps. The dsx3ClearChannel value means that the C-bits are not used except for sending/receiving AISLine type. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx3CbitParity

  • g832-g804

  • dsx3M23

  • g751

  • dsx3Unframed

  • e3Unframed

Line Coding

Type of zero code suppression used on the line, which in turn affects a number of its characteristics. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx3B3ZS

  • e3HDB3

The dsx3B3ZS and e3HDB3 refer to the use of specified patterns of normal bits and bipolar violations that are used to replace sequences of zero bits of a specified length.

Line Length

Specifies the length of the Line Interface Unit (LIU) buildout. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • lessThan225

  • moreThan 225

Line OOF Criteria

Specifies the out-of-frame decision criteria. Out of Frame (OOF) is declared when errors are detected in the framing octets for four consequetive frames. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • fBits3of8: An OOF condition is declared if at least 3 of 8 framing bits are in error.

  • fBits3of16: An OOF is declared if 3 of 16 framing bits are found to be in error.

Line Check AIS Bits

Specifies the AIS decision criteria. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • checkCbits: An AIS condition is declared when 1010 pattern is found and C-bits are all zero.

  • ignorebits: An AIS condition is declared when the AIS pattern 1010... is deteceted, irrespective of the state of the C-bits.


Note This object is not applicable for CESM-T3/E3.

Line Loopback Command

Represents the loopback configuration of the DS3/E3 interface. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx3NoLoop: Not in the loopback state. A device that is not capable of performing a loopback on the interface will always return this as its value.

  • dsx3RemoteLineLoop: Near End loops back Remote data.

  • dsx3RemoteLocalLineLoop: Near End loops back Local data(outbound).

  • dsx3RemoteInbndLocalLoopback: Near End in bound loopback Local data(inbound).

Line Receive FEAC Validation

Specifies the FEAC code validation criteria. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • fFEACCodes4Of5: A valid FEAC code is declared if 4 of 5 codes match.

  • fFEACCodes8Of10: A valid FEAC code is declared when 8 of 10 codes match.

Line Transmit FEAC Codes

Indicates what bit-oriented code to transmitted over the far-end alarm and control (FEAC) channel. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx3SendNoCode: Sending looped or normal data.

  • dsx3SendLineCode: Sending a request for a line loopback.

  • dsx3SendPayloadCode: Sending a request for a payload loopback (for example, all DS1/E1s in a DS3/E3 frame).

  • dsx3SendResourceCode: Sending a loopback deactivation request.

  • dsx3SendDS1LoopCode: Sending a request to put part of DS1/E1 within T3/E3 respectively into loopback.

  • dsx3SendTestPattern: Sending a test pattern.


Note This object is not applicable for CESM-T3/E.
