Overview of the OCx Interface Modules

Provides a high-level overview of OCx CEM interface modules. Also provides additional information such as restrictions, benefits, and so on.

Configuring Synchronous Optical NETwork (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)

Provides information about how to configure the following features on SONET and SDH:

• Line and section configuration parameters such as BERT, clock, loopback, mode, and so on

• SONET T1, T3, and VT parameters such as BERT, clock, framing, loopback, shutdown, and so on.

• SDH T1, T3, and VC parameters such as BERT, CEM group, clock, loopback, shutdown, and so on.

• Loopback remote on T1 and T3 interfaces

• CEM group on framed SAToP
