DDM-2000 OC-3 MULTIPLEXER
Provision STS-1 Path Trace
OVERVIEW: This procedure is used to provision the transmit and receive path trace
fields of an STS cross-connected STS-1 signal. Path trace is only applicable to STS
paths terminating to a BBG4B DS3 circuit pack because it is an STS-1 terminating
device. This procedure can be performed from any network element in a DDM-2000
OC-3 network. See the Commands and Reports section in Volume 1 of this manual
for additional information on the set-trace-sts1: and rtrv-trace-sts1:
commands.
1. If required, condition the CIT and connect it to the local DDM-2000 network
element.
Reference: DLP-521
2. From office records, determine which DDM-2000 OC-3 network elements are
the source and destination terminating network elements for the STS-1 path(s)
to be traced.
3.
NOTE:
When performing this test, one DDM-2000 terminating shelf will be
referred to as the near end and the other terminating shelf as the far end.
These designations are arbitrary; either shelf can be the near-end or the
far-end shelf.
Establish a login to the near-end terminating shelf.
4. Use the command rtrv-crs-sts1: to determine the address of the STS-1
drop at each terminating location.
5.
NOTE:
Thepathtracestringmaybeupto62characterlong.Thetransmit(trc)
and receive (exptrc) strings should be different within the same
location; however, the exptrc from one location must identically match
the trc at the other location.
NOTE:
Trace strings are case sensitive. Be sure to match capitals and lower
case entries in the trace (trc) message at the near-end with the
expected trace (exptrc) message at the far-end.
