CTS 710 SONET Test Set User Manual
Network Continuity Checking
With the AUTOSCAN feature of the CTS 710, it is easy to make a
quick continuity check. The continuity check verifies that a SONET
network element (NE), or portion of the network, is correctly set up
and provisioned and that the signal passes through intact. In this
example, the CTS 710 transmits an STS-3 signal into an NE. Then
the CTS 710 receives the output from the NE and verifies that all
three SPEs, including their payload patterns, are intact.
1. Connect the CTS 710 to the NE as shown in Figure 3–1.
