Chapter 8 SDH Performance Monitoring

Using the Performance Monitoring Screen

Procedure: Select Port Selection Menus on the Performance Monitoring Screen

Step 1 Open the electrical or optical card of choice. Double-click the card’s graphic in the main (node) view or

right-click the card and select Open Card. (Clicking a card once highlights the card only.)

Step 2 From the card view, click the Performance tab.

Step 3 Click one of the port selection menus labeled in Figure 8-4 on page 8-7 and Figure 8-5 on page 8-7.

Depending on the card, other options may be available (i.e. E1, E3, DS3i, VC4, and line).

Step 4 Click the Refresh button. For PM definitions, see the “SDH Performance Monitoring for Electrical

Cards” section on page 8-19, and the “SDH Performance Monitoring for Optical Cards” section on

page 8-29.

8.1.5 Using the Baseline Button

In SDH Software R3.3, the Baseline button located on the far right of the screen clears the PM count

displayed in the Current column, but does not clear the PM count on the card. When the current

15-minute or 24-hour time interval expires or the screen view changes, the total number of PM counts

on the card and on the screen appear in the appropriate column.

The baseline values are discarded if you select a new port, interval, near-end, far- end, VC4, or change

views to a different screen and then return to the Performance Monitoring screen. The Baseline button

enables you to easily see how quickly PM counts are rising without having to perform calculations.

Figure 8-6 on page 8-9 shows the Baseline button on the Performance Monitoring screen.

Purpose Use the port selection menus to monitor PMs for near-end or far-end

signals on a selected port.

Prerequisite Procedures Different port selection menus appear depending on the card type and

the circuit type. The appropriate types (E1, E3, DS3i, VC4, and line)

appear based on the card. For example, the STM-64 card lists line and

VC4.

Before you view PMs, be sure you have created the appropriate circuits

and provisioned the card according to your specifications. For

information about circuit creation and card provisioning, see Chapter 6,

“Circuits and Tunnels” and Chapter 7, “Card Provisioning.”
