Setting SONET THRU Mode

Description

THRU mode is used to non-intrusively monitor SONET lines where no
protected monitor points are available.
As THRU mode locks some user settings, you must set SIGNAL RATE,
STS rate, STS-1 SPE CHANNEL (if appropriate) before selecting THRU
mode.
The entire frame can be errorred at a user defined rate if PAYLOAD
OVERWRITE and TOH+POH CHANNEL OVERWRITE are both set to

. If either overwrite is enabled the ENTIRE FRAME ERROR RATE

function is disabled.

OC-1/STS-1, OC-3/STS-3
You can substitute a new payload, Section and Line Overhead (TOH) and
Path overhead (POH) in the received OC-1/STS-1 or OC-3/STS-3 signal
for testing.

OC-12, OC-48
The overhead and payload may be overwritten for STS-3c SPE and AU3.
PAYLOAD OVERWRITE is not available for STS-12C or STS-48C.
TOH+POH CHANNEL overwrite is available for STS-12C and STS-48C.
