This editor format is the same as TOH of OC-3/STS-3. For OC-12/48/192, TOH
bytes in other column are filled with value set by the editor. In case of OC-12
TOH in following figure, you can edit A1A2 bytes in thicker lines cell. The bytes
in gray cell are filled with the value in left side cell in thicker lines.
Touching a POHPOH button launches the STS-x POH EditorSTS-x POH Editor or VT-2/VT1.5 POHVT-2/VT1.5 POH
EditorEditor dialog box. The contents of the dialog depends on which path overhead
you are configuring.
