Circuit Pack Descriptions
7-110 Issue 3 June 2001
Control Functions 7
The major control functions are as follows:
â– Switches protection for OC-3 line and DS3, MXRVO, STS1E, other OLIU,
and TG circuit packs
â– Processes transport and path overhead
â– Stores inventory information (
CLEI
code, date of manufacture, etc.)
â– Supports VT and STS signal degrade protection switching (22F2-U only)
â– Supports STS-1 BER signal fail (10
-3
or 10
-6
) path protection switching
â– Supports path protection switching based on STS-1 unequipped, STS-1
AIS, STS-1 LOP, VT AIS, and VT LOP
â– Supports path protection switching based on VT unequipped (22F2-U
only).
Maintenance Signal Functions 7
The major maintenance signal functions are as follows:
â– Inserts and detects STS-1 path AIS or inserts and detects VT1.5 path AIS
â– Inserts and detects OC-3 line AIS
â– Inserts and detects STS-1 path unequipped signal
â– Inserts and detects line FERF
â– Inserts and detects STS-1 path yellow, if VT1.5 cross-connected
â– Inserts and detects the STS-1 unequipped signal
â– Inserts and detects the VT unequipped signal (22F2-U only)
â– Detects OC-3 line failures (LOS, LOF, AIS, and BER)
â– Detects OC-3 line signal degrade BER.
