Figure 2-35: Signal Monitor – Path Overhead
The Path Overhead section displays the overhead for the selected STM-1/STS-3. The
information presented on the screen is constantly updated. To suspend the update, click the
Pause Update button. The button will change to a Resume Update button and will say
“PAUSED” beside it. The display will not be updated again until the Resume Update button is
clicked.
NOTE: Pausing the update only suspends the local display updates, the OTS9100 is still
capturing data.
The listed channel refers to the active channel of the receiver. Only the active channel payload
can be monitored. To change this display, change the active channel in the receiver signal menu
setup.
