Description You can Drop a PDH signal from the received payload or drop 2 Mb/s or
DS1 (Option 110) from the structured PDH signal to external equipment
for testing purposes.
You can only Drop an external payload if Option UKJ, Structured PDH,
or Option 110 DSn SPDH is fitted.
140 Mb/s and 34 Mb/s (for Option UKJ) and DS3 or 34 Mb/s (for Option
110) can only be dropped if SDH/SONET is chosen as the receive

SONET payload and from a structured PDH signal.
HOW TO: Drop 34 Mb/s, DS3 & 140 Mb/s

equipment.
2 Set up the receive SONET interface, and choose DROP 34 Mb/s, DS3
or 140 Mb/s as required on the display. If
