Provisioning termination points
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
The termination points enable the user to set or view parameters derived from data
stored in the overhead bytes of the signals. Termination points should be set after
provisioning the transmission path according to the transmission plan.
Related information
If the Trace Identifier Mismatch detection (TIM) is enabled, traffic will be lost when a
mistake in the trace string is made. Upon mismatch Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) is
inserted in the downstream signal and Remote Defect Indicator (RDI) is inserted in the
upstream signal (RDI is only inserted if the directionality is set to bidirectional).
The RS and MS termination points of the STM-1 or STM-4 signals are used to set a
Signal Degraded Value or for Timing Settings. This is described in section
“Provisioning Degraded Signal Threshold”.

Procedure
The purpose of this procedure is to provision termination points. The following
termination point types can be provisioned: AU-4, TU-3, TU-12, VC-4, VC-4-4C,
VC-3, VC-11, VC-12, or RS.
