Purpose
The purpose of Performance Monitoring (PM) is to offer a set of necessary features
that allow to continuously collect, analyse, process, store, and report performance
related data by detecting and measuring even subtle changes for SDH, PDH, and LAN
signal quality in order to do preventive maintenance. It consists of three main
activities: Configuration of the ITM-CIT, measuring and displaying performance data,
recovering data stored in bins.
Objectives
The objectives of this chapter are:
• To describe the procedures for configuration of the termination points on the
ITM-CIT;
• To describe the procedures for viewing performance measurements;
• To describe the procedures to archive and retrieve logged performance data.
Outcome
A sensitive system that is able to detect, measure, and report subtle transmission
performance changes occurring on the network within a predefined time span in order
to allow preventive maintenance actions.
