— "AUTO": Alarms will not be raised until after a valid signal
appears on the selected direction of this port. After the signal
appears, it is continuously monitored, and the port transitions
to the IS state.
■ CONFIGURATION-Set-State-T3 (TL1 = ENT-rr): This input sets the
Primary State of DS3 input ports to "AUTO" or "NMON." This parameter
can be provisioned when the selected low-speed interface slot(s) is
unequipped or equipped with any type low-speed interface circuit pack.
Thus, it is permissible to preprovision low-speed interface slots for DS3
interfaces. The DS3 port state can be provisioned separately in the add
and drop directions.
— The Direction parameter selects the direction of the selected
low-speed port(s) to provision (From DSX, From OC48).
— The Primary State parameter provisions the state of the selected
port(s) (and selected direction) to either:
— "NMON": The DS3 signals for the selected direction of this
port are not monitored for errors. No conditions are reported
and PM quantities will be "-" for this port. The port will not
make a transition to the IS (in service) state if a good signal
appears.
— "AUTO": Alarms will not be raised until after a valid signal
appears on the selected direction of this port. After the signal
appears, it is continuously monitored, and the port transitions
to the IS state.
■ CONFIGURATION-Set-Synchronization: This input sets the network
element synchronization mode and synchronization operation parameters.
— The Provisioned Mode specifies the primary synchronization mode
of the network element. The options are:
—“Free Running”: The network element operates
asynchronously, with the timing of the transmitted high-speed
signals derived from the local timing generator.
—“Through Timed”: The network element synchronizes the
transmitted high-speed signals to the high-speed signals
received from the opposite direction.
—“Line Timed”: The network element synchronizes the
transmitted high-speed and low-speed signals to the selected
incoming high-speed signal.
—“Externally Timed”: The network element synchronizes the
transmitted high-speed and low-speed signals to an external
DS1 reference signal.
— The Primary DS1 In Format parameter specifies whether the
primary DS1 reference signal uses superframe (SF) or extended
superframe (ESF) format.
