Control Functions 7
The following are the major control functions of the 22D-U OLIU circuit pack:
â– Switches protection for the optical line and DS3, MXRVO, STS1E, and TG
circuit packs
â– Processes transport overhead
â– Stores inventory information (
CLEI
code, date of manufacture, etc.)
â– Supports VT and STS signal degrade path protection switching.
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, VT unequipped, and VT LOP.
Maintenance Signal Functions 7
The following are the major maintenance signal functions of the 22D-U OLIU
circuit pack:
â– Inserts and detects STS-1 path AIS or inserts and detects VT1.5 path AIS
â– Inserts and detects SONET line AIS and inserts and detects line FERF
â– Inserts and detects STS-1 path unequipped signal
â– Inserts and detects VT path unequipped signal
â– Inserts and detects STS-1 path yellow, if VT1.5 cross-connected
â– Detects IS-3 line failures (LOS, LOF, AIS, and BER)
â– Detects IS-3 line signal degrade BER.
