5.6 SONET
5.6.1 Introduction
Synchronous optical network, known as SONET, is the standard for synchronous
operation used primarily in North America and is defined by ANSI T1. (American
National Standards Institute – Telecommunications 1).
SONET and SDH share many common principles of operation and architecture. A
comparison of the transmission rates supported by ANT-5 is given below:
SONET signal SDH signal Transmission Rate
Mbit/s
Electrical
STS-3
Optical
OC-3
STM-1
155.52
Optical
OC-12
STM-4
622.08
Optical
OC-48
STM-16
2488.32
The bit rates depend on the mapping options fitted.
5.6.2 Hierarchy Setup
SONET can be chosen as the Hierarchy Type by selecting the Hierarchy element
from the Tx or Rx panel as required.
If an optical option is fitted then by selecting an
optical Rate e.g. OC-3 as in this example, the
Output will automatically change to Optical in
the Interface Setup panel.
