tion (see “Launching the datacom application” on page 52).
2 On the Configuration menu, select G.821 Performance Settings, and
then specify the path allocation percentage.
Enter a value, from 0.1 to 100%, to indicate the percentage of the end-to-
end target values for ESR (Errored Seconds Ratio) and SESR (Severely
Errored Seconds Ratio) that must be met for the test path to be accept-
able. The end-to-end target values are based on the “Hypothetical Refer-
ence Configuration” (HRX) of length 27 500 km.
You have finished specifying the G.821 performance settings.
