Edit Input Port Configuration


Use the following procedure to edit the Input Port configuration:

  1. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE in the State drop-down box to enable or disable the port as an input timing reference.

  2. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE in the Expected State drop-down box to indicate if the port's state is set to ENABLE or DISABLE.

  3. Select a number from 0 to 12 in the Priority drop-down box to set the port's priority to be used as an active timing reference.

Note: A lower number configures the port to a higher priority.

  1. Select either ESF or D4 in the Frame Type drop-down box to set the port's frame type.

  2. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE in the Read SSM drop-down box to enable or disable the port to use SSM messages as part of the input qualification process.

Note: D4-framed DS1 inputs do not allow the Read SSM selection since they are not capable of SSM decoding.

  1. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE in the Monitor drop-down box to enable or disable port monitoring.

Note: Port monitoring can be enabled even if the port is not enabled as a timing reference.

  1. Select either ENABLE or DISABLE in the Bridged Input drop-down box. If the reference signal on this port is bridged and not terminated, the bridged input setting should be set to ENABLE.

  2. Click OK to accept changes and return to the Input Port Status screen, or Cancel to return to the Input Port Status screen without saving changes.
