SmartMode Interface Description
³
Trib Scan button: Allows starting the Trib Scan of the selected HOP to
discover its low order path (LOP) information. This button is only
available when the selected timeslot contains LOPs (VT/TU/TUG
equipped). A Trib Scan takes about 5 seconds to discover the signal
structure.
³
Alarm Scan button: Allows to monitor the Port, Section/MS, Line/RS,
HOP, and LOP alarms and errors. Alarm Scan is automatically started
after a successful Smart Scan or Trib Scan. Alarm Scan displays the
information of the selected timeslot or tributary. The alarm scan
monitors in parallel all the HOPs discovered during the scan as well as
the LOPs of the selected HOP.
³
Launch Test: Allows creating and starting the test case based on the
scanned signal for the selected path. This automatically stops the
Alarm Scan and disables the SmartMode functionality with the
exception of the Report. To re-enable access to the SmartMode
functions, the test must be cleared.
Note that the default test preferences will be used for the test. For
example, the laser will be Off if not enabled from the Default Test
Preferences on page 530. However, the laser can be enabled once the
test is started from the Test Setup or from the Port TX tab; first stop the
test, enable the laser and re-start the test.
