Diagram 7. Connections for a SONET/SDH Receiver (PGonly)
Often used with network equipment, such as SONET/SDH receivers. The device
shown may or may not require a clock signal.
Diagram 8. Connections for an External Data Source (EDonly)
Used when the device is stimulated by another data source. Illustrates the use of
an oscilloscope in addition to the error detector.
N O T E
As in all setups, the pattern sent to the error detector must be the same as the
