Measuring Service Disruption Time

NOTE

At DS1 and DS3 Service Disruption results are only available for

 

Unstructured payloads.

 

Error Burst Definition

 

 

Error bursts start and finish with an error. Bursts of less than 10 us are

 

ignored.

 

Bursts are assumed to have completed when >2000ms elapses without

 

any errors being received.

 

The longest burst detected is 2 seconds.

 

Accuracy

 

300 us for DS1, 2Mb/s and 34Mb/s signals.

 

60 us for DS3 signals.

HOW TO:

1 If interfacing at SONET set up the SONET transmit and receive

 

interfaces and payloads required. See "Setting SONET Transmit

 

Interface " page 4 and "Setting SONET Receive Interface " page 17.

2If interfacing at DSn set up the DSn transmit and receive interfaces and payloads as required. See "Setting DSn Transmit Interface " page 2 and "Setting DSn Receive Interface " page 15.
