Conventions Used in This Guide…
• Front panel buttons appear in bold within angled brackets.
For example, press <Menu>.
• When buttons are connected by a plus (+) sign, for example,
<2> + <4>, press the listed buttons in sequence.
• Menu items appear in bold. The greater than (>) symbol
separates each menu level. For example, `Test Functions >
Errors and Alarms’ indicates that you should choose
`Errors and Alarms' from the `Test Functions’ main menu.
• Field items and drop down list entries appear in bold. For
example, `select Signal Rate field and choose OC-3 from
the drop-down list’.
• This Guide applies to both SONET and SDH network stan-
dards. Where there is a difference in the terminology used
between these two standards, the SONET version is given
first.
