CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual
D–5
Table D–1: Standard CTS 710 Specifications (Cont.)
Characteristic Description
Path Overhead
Access Set Path Overhead bytes to any value from binary
00000000 to 11111111:
C2, F2, Z3, Z4, and Z5
View all Path Overhead bytes
Add/Drop Insert data from the Overhead Add/Drop connector
into the F2 user byte
Drop data from the F2 user byte out to the
Overhead Add/Drop connector
Path Trace Byte J1 Send user-defined 64-byte sequence, or set to
00000000
View Path Trace J1
Pointer Movement
Single Single pointer justification (increment or decrement)
Burst Bursts of two to eight pointer justifications spaced
four frames apart. All adjustments within a given
burst are in the same direction. Subsequent bursts
are in alternating directions
Continuous Pointer justifications occur continuously at a
predetermined rate in an incrementing, decrement-
ing, or alternating direction.
Rate between movements: 2 ms to 10 s, with a
resolution of 1 ms.
Set to Value Set to a new location with or without the NDF being
set.
Range is 0 to 1023 (783 – 1023 are illegal
locations).
Pointer Test Sequences
Single pointer adjustment Time between pointer adjustments: 30 s.
Alternating pointer adjustment Alternating, single
Alternate, double
Pointer adjustment burst Time between 3 pointers is 0.5 ms, 0.5 ms
Time between pointer burst: 30 s
