CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual

Setting SONET Transmit Parameters
This section describes how to set the transmit rate, specify the STS
under test, set the payload mapping and content, and set the overhead
bytes for SONET signals.
The CTS 710 SONET Test Set contains independent transmitter and
receiver modules. One set of parameters controls the transmitter
module and another set controls the receiver module. You can set the
parameters that control the transmitter independently or you can
choose to link the parameters to the receiver settings.
Steps for Setting Parameters
The sequence of steps for setting transmit parameters varies with the
type of signal to be transmitted. The figures that follow show the
sequence of steps required to set the transmit parameters of a
SONET signal without a mapped tributary and a SONET signal with
a mapped tributary. See page 3–89 for details on setting tributary
signal parameters (for example DS3).
