462 MAX-800 Series
SONET/DSn/SDH/PDH
The unit supports numbering SONET low order path using the two-level
“VTGroup#,VT#” convention for numbering VTs within an STS-1. For
example: VT1.5 [1,3], VT2 [3,2], VT6 [6,1].
The unit supports numbering SONET high order path STS-nc within an
OC-N using the two-level “STS-3#,STS-1#”. For example: STS-12c [5,1].
Note: For STS-1e the numbering is limited to the A value as only one STS-1 exits.
SDH Numbering Convention
As per ITU G.707, the high order paths are defined using a 2 to 5 level
convention E,D,C,B,A depending on the rate of the STM-n used.
E: the AUG-64 are numbered 1 to 4
D: the AUG-16 are numbered 1 to 4
C: the AUG-4 are numbered 1 to 4
B: the AUG-1 are numbered 1 to 4
A: the AU-3 are numbered 1 to 3
