Description
Confidence Test
This test checks the optical and the electrical
paths. A basic signal continuity check is
performed. This involves verifying the signal
configuration by injecting/detecting a single
error.
Optical Power Test
This test checks both the data paths and the
optical power measurement circuitry.
DCC Add/Drop Test
The test checks the data paths associated
with the DCC add/drop hardware. The DCC
loopback should be fitted for this test.
Frequency Test
This test checks the data path through the
clock offset and frequency measurement
hardware. The test checks the absolute clock
offset frequency result.
OTN FEC Test
This test checks both the data paths and the
OTN FEC algorithm are operating correctly.
VCAT RAM Test
This test checks the memory used for VCAT
delay generation and also that basic Ethernet
Over SONET (EOS) is operational
