9.5.4 Test Patterns
Test patterns may be executed on any of the provided bit rates either directly at the
SDH interface or within the STMn substructure. ITU-T & Non ITU-T.
PRBS ........................................................................................ 2

Programmable 16-bit digital word
Traffic (Rx only)...............................................................................................................
The Traffic pattern should be selected if the incoming signal is expected to contain
network traffic. Selecting this option effectively disables the pattern detection process
and the reporting of LSS defects.
9.5.5 Defects and Anomalies Monitoring
All anomalies and defects for STMn, E4, DS3, E3 and E1
For 2048 kbit/s, PCM30, PCM30C, PCM31 and PCM31C framing supported
9.5.6 Defects and Anomalies Injection
All defects and anomalies may be injected
Single, Rate or Continuous injection
LEDs and beeper for audible/visual notification
9.5.7 Overhead Analysis and Injection
The following bytes within SOH and POH may be analysed and injected:
C2, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, E1, E2, F1, F2, F3, G1, J0,
J1, J2, K1, K2, K3, K4, M1, N1, N2, S1, V5, Z1, Z2.
The following bytes within SOH and POH may be analysed but NOT injected:
A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, H1, H2, H3, H4, Y.
9.5.8 Performance Analysis
