7.8 Section and Path Trace
SDH J0 section and J1 and J2 path trace are repeated, fixed-length strings composed of 16 or 64
consecutive bytes. You can use the strings to monitor interruptions or changes to circuit traffic. For the
ONS 15310-MA SDH node, J0 section trace is supported for optical and E3 ports on the
15310E-CTX-K9, E1_21_E3_DS3_3, or E1_63_E3_DS3_3 cards. Table 7-9 shows the ONS 15310-MA
SDH cards and/or ports that support J1 and/or J2 path trace.
If the string received at a circuit drop port does not match the string that the port expects to receive, an
alarm is raised. Two path trace modes are available:
• Automatic—The receiving port assumes that the first string it receives is the baseline string.
• Manual—The receiving port uses a string that you manually enter as the baseline string.
