CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual
Performance Monitoring
When a new line is installed you may want to monitor performance
for a day or so to be sure it is operating correctly. Or, if problems are
suspected on a line, you may want to run a long test to determine the
cause of the problem. In either case, the CTS 710 makes it easy to
monitor an electrical or optical line without the need for splitters.
During a test, the CTS 710 simultaneously takes all performance
measurements, analyzes the results according to the T1M1.3
standard, and displays the measurements and analysis in your choice
of three formats:
H In a brief summary
H In detail by type (error, alarm, failure)
H In detail by layer (section, line, path)
In this example, the CTS 710 is placed directly in line with a live
optical signal to monitor performance in an unintrusive mode
(Through Mode).
1. Connect the CTS 710 in line with an optical signal as shown in
Figure 3–7.
