COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

Circuit Loss Outbound (clo)

(Disruptive)

Use the clo command to measure the outbound circuit loss from a specified COMSPHERE APL modem, or a DATAPHONE II APL modem to an associated tributary device.

Control DATAPHONE II modems transmit a specified frequency over the primary data channel for approximately 2.5 seconds at a signal level between ±2 dBm and 0 dBm. COMSPHERE control modems transmit their normal frequency spectrum at the currently optioned (typically 0 dBm) signal level. The tributary device measures the level of the received signal, which should nominally be ±16 dB. The overall accuracy of this test is ±2 dBm.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.

Circuit Loss Outbound Input Form

The Circuit Loss Outbound input form enables you to specify the control and tributary device(s) for which this command will be executed, and to enter the tone frequency to be transmitted by the tributary.

This input form contains the following fields:

Control device(s) (Required field)

Enter the control device(s) that will transmit the tone. One or more devices may be specified. Standard addressing format applies to the input. For information on device addressing, refer to Appendix D of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.

Tributary device(s) (Required field)

Enter the tributary device(s) that will measure the transmitted tone. One or more devices may be specified. Standard addressing format applies to the input. For information on device addressing, refer to Appendix D of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.
