Description

This test verifies operation of the PDH/DSn Mux and demux hardware
and confirms the output characteristics of the external demux port on
the PDH/DSn Receiver.
The PDH/DSn Test Set is set up to transmit an unframed 2Mb/s/DS-1
pattern. This is applied to the HP 37718A/19A INSERT Port. The 2Mb/s/
DS-1 signal is multiplexed into a 34Mb/s/DS-3 data stream. The HP
37718A/19A transmitter and receiver are looped. The unframed 2Mb/s/
DS-1 signal is Demultiplexed from the 34Mb/s/DS-3 data stream to the
PDH/DSn Test Set via the HP 37718A/19A DROP port. A BER test is
performed to verify the integrity of the 2 Mb/s/DS-1 signal.
The output from the DROP Port is then applied to an Oscilloscope, and
the waveform characteristics are checked to ensure they meet
specifications.
