Chapter 19 Configuring the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA
Configuration Tasks
The BERT operation is data-intensive. Regular data cannot flow on the path while the test is in progress.
The path is reported to be in alarm state when BERT is in progress and restored to a normal state after
BERT has been terminated.
BERT Test Configuration Guidelines
When configuring BERT on the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA or 1-Port Channelized
OC-12/STM-4 SPA, consider the following guidelines:
• Only DS1/T1 and DS3/T3 paths are supported on the 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA.
• A maximum of 27 concurrent tests across all paths on the SPA is supported.
BERT Pattern Descriptions
Table 19-1 and Table 19-2 describe the supported BERT patterns on the 1-Port Channelized
OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 1-Port Channelized OC-12/STM-4 SPA.
