Change path trace parameters for SONET lines.
chsonettrace Location [numOfLines TraceIdLen TraceId TraceIdPosition]
Syntax Description
Defaults numOfLines: 1
Command Modes Security level 3
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to configure the path trace parameters for SONET lines. This command works in
conjunction with the chsonetexptrace and chsonetperdi commands to configure a SONET line test.
Examples The following example defines a trace identifier of hello world in a 64-byte message for line 1 of slot 9:
chsonettrace 9.1 64 48656c6c6f20576f726c64
Location The slot and line number, delimited by a period, of the OC-3 line.
Valid slot: 9. Valid lines: 1-4
numOfLines The number of lines to add. Values: 1-4.
TraceIdLen The message length for the trace identifier:
16=message contains 16 bytes (SDH only)
64=message contains 64 bytes (SONET or SDH)
TraceId The trace identifier to transmit in the SONET path overhead. Value: ASCII
string of either 16 or 62 characters, depending on the TraceIdLen setting.
You specify the ASCII characters as pairs of hexidecimal characters. For
example, a you express a space as 20.
Note 1: The 16 byte message normally alters one byte for synchronization,
as defined by TraceIdPosition.
Note 2: The 64 byte message uses the last two bytes for synchronization, so
the maximum trace identifier length is 62 characters. Only printable ASCII
characters are allowed.
TraceIdPosition The position within a 16-byte message of the synchronization byte. The
most significant bit of this byte is set high. Values: 1-16.
Alternatively, this parameter defines the following special cases:
0=No bit set
17=All most significant bits set low
