Selecting the threshold for a signal
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When to use
Changing the degraded signal thresholds is only done according to a change in the
transmission plan.
Related information
Related information and precautions are:
• the threshold values (number of errored blocks and number of seconds) must be
known.
• changing the values of the Signal Degrade Thresholds can degrade the transmission
path. Depending on these values alarms are generated and SNC/N or MSP
protection switches are made.
Before you begin
Related Procedures are:
• Port Provisioning
• Provisioning Termination Points
Procedure
This procedure describes how the threshold for a specific signal can be changed. A
choice can be made between two threshold values. Changing the values of these two
thresholds is described in the ″Procedure to Change the Threshold Values″.
