Setting the Interfaces Setting DSn Transmit Interface Description DSn transmit interface settings should match network equipment settings of Rate, Termination and Line Code and determine the Payload to be tested. TIP: To set the Transmitter and Receiver to the same interface settings choose OTHER SETTINGS CONTROL COUPLED . HOW TO: 1 Choose the required SIGNAL rate. Rates of DS1, DS3, 2 Mb/s and 34 Mb/s are available. 2 If you have chosen 2 Mb/s as the SIGNAL rate, choose the required CLOCK SYNC

Setting the Interfaces Setting DSn Transmit Interface 3 If DS1 or DS3 is chosen, choose the required OUTPUT LEVEL. 4 If you have chosen 2 Mb/s as the SIGNAL rate, choose the required TERMINATION. (At all other signal rates the impedance is fixed). 5 If you have chosen 2 Mb/s or DS1 as the SIGNAL rate, choose the required LINE CODE. (At 34 Mb/s and DS3 coding is fixed). 6 If required, choose the FREQUENCY OFFSET value. See “Adding Frequency Offset to the DSn Signal” page 33. 7 Choose the required

Setting the Interfaces Setting Jitter Transmit Interface Setting Jitter Transmit Interface Description: You can add jitter to the transmitted DSn or SONET signal at 2 Mb/s, 34 Mb/s, STS-3, OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48. You can source the jitter modulation internally or from an external source. HOW TO: 1 If you are adding jitter to the DSn signal, set up the DSn transmit interface. See Chapter “Setting DSn Transmit Interface”. 2 If you are adding jitter to the SONET signal, set up the SONET transmit in

Setting the Interfaces Setting Jitter Transmit Interface 5 Choose the modulation source. If adding jitter to the DSn signal and is chosen, connect EXTERNAL the external source to the MOD IN port of the DSn Jitter TX module. Up to 10 UI of external jitter modulation can be added at the MOD IN port. If adding jitter to the SDH signal and is chosen, connect EXTERNAL the external source to the MOD IN port of the SONET Clock module. Up to 20 UI of external jitter modulation can be added at the MOD IN
