Configuring the SDH physical interface type

Do the following to define the physical interface type providing the STM-1 link:

1.In the SDH Physical Configuration section (see figure 38), select from the Physical Interface drop-down menu the value that corresponds to the physical cabling attached to your STM-1 interface ports. If you are using fiber-optic cable connected to the rear-card SC connectors, then select optical(0). If you are using coaxial cables connected to the rear-card BNC connectors, then select electrical(1).

2.Click the Submit button to activate your selection.

Configuring the SDH interface parameters

1.In the SDH Interface Configuration section (see figure 39), for Circuit Identifier, enter an optional alphanu- meric name for this STM-1 link.

2.If section trace is enabled in your connected SDH network, go to step 3. Otherwise, because section trace is disabled, for the Section Trace Monitor parameter, select sectionTraceDisable(0) from the drop- down menu, then go to step 7 to define the value of the SDH Payload Mapping parameter.

3.Because section trace is enabled in your connected SDH network, for the Section Trace Monitor parame- ter, select sectionTraceEnable(1) from the drop-down menu.

4.For the Section Trace message string, enter the alphanumeric string your connected SDH network uses for the section trace message string in the SDH frame.

Note The Section Trace parameter only applies with 16-byte and 64-byte section trace messages. For 1-byte trace messages, the J0 byte parame-
