Note Path-1 trace message is used for 16-byte and 64-byte path-1 trace messages. For 1-byte and 64-byte trace messages, the J1 byte is used and the value of path-1trace message is ignored.

5.For Path-1 Trace Msg Len, select the value corresponding to the trace message length your connected SDH network uses.

6.For Path-1 Trace J1 Byte, enter the value your connected SDH network uses for the J1 byte in the SDH frame.

Note J1 is used only for 1-byte path trace messages. For 16-byte and 64- byte trace messages, the trace message string is used and the value of J1 is ignored.

7.For Path-1 Signal Label, enter the value your connected SDH network uses for the path-1 signal label in the SDH frame.

8.If you have selected AU-3 mapping, repeat steps 3 through 7 to define values for the Path-2 and Path-3 trace parameters.

9.Click the Submit button to save your work into operating memory (volatile DRAM) and activate the new parameter values.

Periodic maintenance

Consult the rack chassis user manual for information on preventative maintenance (such as cleaning the chassis air cooling vents to remove accumulated dust).

Calibration

The Model 6511RC requires no calibration.

Maintenance

This section describes replacing the Model 6511RC.

Replacing the Model 6511RC

If you isolate a problem to the a Model 6511RC component, the entire Model 6511RC must be replaced as described in the follow section.

Exporting the current Model 6511RC configuration

The 6511RC Matrix Switch provides Import/Export functions. These functions enable you to back up (export) and restore (import) your Matrix Switch’s configuration parameters against possible failure. Should your Matrix Switch ever need replacing, a previously saved copy of your (exported) configuration file can quickly be loaded (imported) into a replacement Matrix Switch.

Note Import/Export functions require superuser access privileges.
