SONET Interface Configuration

To display SONET interface configuration, select SONET Interface Configuration from the CATEGORY pulldown menu. The following information is displayed:

SONET or SDH Signal (sonetMediumType)

Elapsed Time (sonetMediumTimeElapsed )

Valid Intervals (sonetMediumValidIntervals )

Line Coding (sonetMediumLineCoding)

Line Type (sonetMediumLineType)

Circuit Identifier (sonetMediumCircuitIdentifier)


SONET or SDH Signal (sonetMediumType)

Identifies whether a SONET or SDH signal is used across this interface. The value can be 1 or 2, as follows:

SONET

SDH


Elapsed Time (sonetMediumTimeElapsed)

The number of seconds that have elapsed since the beginning of the current error-measurement period (maximum 900 seconds, partial seconds included).


Valid Intervals (sonetMediumValidIntervals)

The number of previous 15-minute intervals for which valid data has been stored. SONET devices must support at least this specified number of intervals.

Minimum 4 (= 1 hour)

Default 32 (= 8 hours)

Maximum 96 (= 24 hours)

The number of complete 15 minute intervals that the device has actually been online is used if it is less than the number specified here.


Line Coding (sonetMediumLineCoding)

The line coding for this interface. Values depend on whether it is an electrical or optical interface.

Electrical interface:

2

B3ZS (sonetMediumB3ZS)

CMI (sonetMediumCMI)

Optical interface:

Non-Return to Zero (sonetMediumNRZ)

Return to Zero (sonetMediumRZ

The value 1 is for anything else (sonetMediumOther).


Line Type (sonetMediumLineType)

Specifies the type of line to which this interface is connected. Lines may be optical fiber or electrical:

Optical fiber:

2

short range single mode (sonetShortSingleMode)

3

long range single mode (sonetLongSingleMode)

4

Multi-mode (sonetMultiMode)

Electrical:

5

Coaxial (sonetCoax)

UTP (sonetUTP)

The value 1 is for anything else (sonetOther).


Circuit Identifier (sonetMediumCircuitIdentifier)

The identifier for the circuit, provided by the TELCO transmission vendor. Use this to help with troubleshooting.
