Overhead Add/Drop Port
You use the Overhead Add/Drop port to add/drop the section and line
data communication channels (DCC), and the section and line user
channels. The DCC and user channel add/drop functions are
independent; for example, you can add a DCC while dropping a user
channel. Only one DCC or user channel can be added or dropped at a
time. The parameters for adding a DCC or a user channel are located
on the TRANSPORT OVERHEAD and PATH OVERHEAD pages of
the TRANSMIT menu. The parameters for dropping a DCC or a user
channel are located on the TRANSPORT OVERHEAD and PATH
OVERHEAD pages of the RECEIVE menu.
The Overhead Add/Drop port uses a gapped clock. Figure G–4 shows
how the pins are numbered on the Overhead Add/Drop port.
Tables G–3 and G–4 summarize the different communication
channels.
