To edit the Input Port Configuration screen:
Set the State to either Enabled, Disabled, or Monitor. Enabled allows the port to be selected to receive an input signal and Monitor allows you to monitor input port performance.
Set the Quality Level to 1 through 9 to select one of the following settings. This value determines which input is used when the active input is disqualified.
1 = PRS
2 = UNK/STU
3 = TYPE II/ST2
4 = TYPE I
5 = TYPE V/TNC
6 = TYPE III/ST3E
7 = TYPE IV/ST3
8 = G.813OPT3/SMC
9 = DUS
Set the Priority to 1 through 4. A lower Priority level number indicates a higher priority and the input with the highest qualified priority is selected.
Set the Frame type. When the system configuration is set to SSU, select either 1.544M, 2.048M, 6.312M, CCS, CAS, ESF, or D4. When the is set to SUB, select either CC, JCC, or JCC4.
Set the Span Type to either E1 or T1.
Note: You can set the Span Type in IMC software version 2.01 or later.
Set the Cyclic Redundancy Check to Enable or Disable. This allows you to provision the E1 (CRC) to enable or disable the use of CRC4. If the E1 input is provisioned to read SSM, CRC4 is automatically enabled.
Set the SSM to either Enable or Disable. This allows you to provision the T1 (ESF) or E1 (CCS or CAS) input to read or not to read the received SSM.
Set the SSM Bit to 4 through 8. This allows you to provision the E1 (CCS or CAS) SSM bit position to allow the input to read the SSM.
Enter a user assigned name to identify the port.
Click OK to accept the changes and return to the Input Port Status screen, or Cancel to return to the Input Port Status screen without saving changes.
