4.8 Bringing into Service
Once the equipment is correctly installed, it may be necessary to monitor the quality of service before
putting live traffic on the circuit, depending on the installation rules of the network.
The AM2048 has various features which help the user to do this with a high degree of confidence
without the use of extra test equipment. A terminal plugged into the ELU gives access to the following
information:
In the “Performance > m.2100” History screen, the display records errored seconds, severely errored
seconds and unavailable seconds for the aggregate line system. The recording interval and the pass
fail criterion of the datalog record is programmable by the user to match the tables found in m.2100.
In the “Performance > Transmission Line” screen, the display records G.826 statistics for both ends of
each transmission line. In a multi pair system, if errors are recorded in the m.2100 screen, this screen
will help to locate the erroring line and direction of errors.
Once the circuit is working, the “Alarm > History” screen should be checked and cleared. The alarm
history should be checked after a suitable interval to ensure that no alarms are occurring.
(For more details of the menu system see the “VT100 Management User Guide for the AM2048.”)
