9. Use the Bus Ports field to enter data for commissioned/uncommissioned, port
name, and signal label. The field also indicates the tributary mapping used for
an SDH or SONET selection.
When entering data in the Bus Ports field the Select All and Fill Selection tabs
can be used to quickly populate lines with identical settings.
Where all ports require the same settings, first complete data entry for the first
line, then click Select All to highlight all port lines, followed by Fill Selection.
Alternatively use standard Windows procedures (Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click or drag)
to highlight just the lines required, then click Fill Selection.
Fill Selection populates all highlighted lines with data from the top-most
highlighted line.
• Use the commissioned tick-box to set port status:
If a port is uncommissioned
• AIS, RDI, LOP, LOM, RPSLM
alarms are suppressed.
• The signal label identifier in the VT/
VC overhead will bet set to
unequipped.
• Enter a port name/identifier in the name field (optional).
The name entered in this field is also displayed in the System/Controls > Bus
Ports screen for the same DAC.
• Under Signal Label, use the sub-menu to select Bit asynchronous or
Transparent Virtual Tributary:
- Bit asynchronous is used for all traffic except Ethernet. Asynchronous
mapping means the E1/DS1 signals are not (do not need to be)
synchronized to the SDH signal. It imposes no signal structure
requirements so E1s or DS1s do not need to be framed.
- Transparent Virtual Tributary (TVT) must be selected on tribs used to
transport Ethernet (to maintain the byte boundaries used with Ethernet
on the backplane bus). TVT must also be selected at the remote end
termination. While TVT uses the same 010 value as bit asynchronous
(V5 bits 5-7), it is a separately identified mode on compliant muxes.
- Where Ethernet data is transported over a 9500 MXC PDH network to
an SDH core and the SDH core network muxes do not support TVT
(transparent mapping), consideration should be given to using an
Ethernet interface between the 9500 MXC and SDH networks (9500
9500 MXC User Manual
If a port is commissioned
• AIS, RDI, LOP, LOM, RPSLM
alarms are detected.
• The signal label identifier in the VT/
VC overhead will be set to bit
synchronous or byte synchronous
depending on the configuration.
