J0 Multi-Byte Trace
J0 Trace provides a capability to uniquely identify each of the multiple channels being carried in
a Dense Wave Division Multiplexer (DWDM) system, providing an end-to-end continuity check.
The OTS9100 has the ability to generate unique J0 traces. This allows test signals to be easily
identified, or to simulate network-element generated traffic without the Trace Identifier
Mismatch (TIM) alarm being generated. The OTS9100 capability to display the received J0 trace
allows users to verify continuity and correct routing of individual channels within the multi-
channel DWDM system.
To analyze, ensure the box beside the Analyze J0 Trace Mismatch is checked.
To edit, click on the Edit Expected J0 Trace button. A dialog box is displayed, as shown in
Figure 2-29, reflecting the current settings of the J0 Trace. Click the appropriate radio button to
choose between No Trace, 16 Byte Trace, and 64 Byte Trace. To input a Trace Value, click in
