About the Information in the Followin

Sections

It is assumed that you understand the basic terminology and concepts of ATM

network test interfaces.

Comprehensive coverage of network test connections and physical layer testing is

beyond the scope of this Installation/User’s Guide. Consequen tl y, the information

provided here covers only the basics, and only very common or generic

connection schemes are shown.

Connectin

to an OC-3 ATM Network (In-Band)

To connect the probe to an OC-3 ATM network, you connect the probe in-line

with the network connection by using the two fiber-optic connectors and a

fiber-optic cable. Figure 3-9 on page 58 shows the details of the OC-3 interfaces.
