5.9 BERT
The Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) described in this section is applicable for
SDH/SONET/PDH/DSn interfaces.
For BERT of OTN interface, refer to BERT in "OTN Application".
The interface settings on the Ports Setup screen determines whether the
current application is SDH, SONET, PDH and/or DSn BERT.
5.9.1 Ports Setup and Status
The first step in running an application is to set up the port interfaces. This is
done on the Ports Setup screen, which also provides port status
information.
The setup options and status information related to each interface type are
described in separate sections:
SDH Setup and Status
SONET Setup and Status
E1 Setup and Status
DS1/J1 Setup and Status
E3 Setup and Status
DS3 Setup and Status
E4 Setup and Status
OTN Setup and Status
Please refer to the sections relevant for your current port setup
requirements.
