Setting Overhead Bytes
To stress test a network, you sometimes need to simulate errors or
alarms. Use the controls on the ERRORS & ALARMS page of the
TRANSMIT menu to simulate errors or alarms. As an alternative,
you can edit the transport overhead and path overhead bytes directly
to simulate errors, alarms, and create other stress conditions. This
section describes how to use the TRANSPORT OVERHEAD and
PATH OVERHEAD pages to edit overhead bytes.
How to Edit an Overhead Byte
The following procedure applies to editing either transport overhead
or path overhead bytes. Transport overhead is given as an example.
