J0 Multi-Byte Trace

J0 Trace provides a capability to uniquely identify each of the multiple channels being carried in a Dense Wave Division Multiplexer (DWDM) system, providing an end-to-end continuity check. The OTS9100 has the ability to generate unique J0 traces. This allows test signals to be easily identified, or to simulate network-element generated traffic without the Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) alarm being generated. The OTS9100 capability to display the received J0 trace allows users to verify continuity and correct routing of individual channels within the multi- channel DWDM system.

To analyze, ensure the box beside the Analyze J0 Trace Mismatch is checked.

To edit, click on the Edit Expected J0 Trace button. A dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-29, reflecting the current settings of the J0 Trace. Click the appropriate radio button to choose between No Trace, 16 Byte Trace, and 64 Byte Trace. To input a Trace Value, click in
