55..55 E3 Setup and StatusE3 Setup and Status
E3
represents the 34.368 Mbit/s PDH layer. The Ports SetupPorts Setup screen gives you
access to the PDH layer setup for the transmitter and/or receiver of the
currently selected port.
E3 allows transmission of data streams that are nominally running at the same rate,
however allowing for some variation in the speed around a nominal rate (+/-125 ppm
variation around 34.368 Mbit/s).
E3 frame defined by ITU-T G.751 has 1536 bits during the period of 22.375 kHz. 12
bits are assigned to the overhead, and 4 bits parity are available as an option.

When the transmitter is set up with only an E3 interface, selecting the TxTx button
in the navigation area will launch the following screen.
