Select values for the following parameters:

Number of Bins (All or Single)

If the Number of Bins selected is Single, you must also select a time period from the Monitored Time drop-down list.
Monitor Level (1-UP or 0-UP)

Important!

The following menu selections do not display Near End and Far End tabs because far-end performance monitoring is not supported. The parameters that are available for selection are near-end PM parameters.

DS1 Line (if the signal format of the selected port is Super Frame, Super Frame - Near-End Only, or Unframed).

If the signal format of the selected port is Ext. Super Frame - Near and Far End, the Near End and Far End tabs are available.
DS1 Path (if the signal format of the selected port is Super Frame, Super Frame - Near-End Only).

If the signal format of the selected port is Ext. Super Frame - Near and Far End, the Near End and Far End tabs are available. DS1 ports with a provisioned signal format of Unframed do not support DS1 Path PM and are not available for selection from this menu.
E1 Line
DS3 Line
DS3 Path (if the signal format of the selected port is Framed)

If the signal format of the selected port is C-Bit, the Near End and Far End tabs are available. DS3 ports with a provisioned signal format of Clear Channel do not support DS3 Path PM and are not available for selection from this menu.

Data

Select the Near End and/or Far End Tab as required and select the parameters to report for each tab. Click Apply.

Result:

The ( ) PM Report is displayed. If you selected parameters on both tabs, the resulting report includes parameters designated as NEND (Near End) and FEND (Far End).

Performance monitoring for cross-connections is done at the incoming signal rates, not at the cross-connection rate. For example, an STS-12c cross-connection could consist of 1 STS-12c signal, 4 STS-3c signals, 12 STS-1 signals, or a mix of STS-3c and STS-1 signals. Therefore, a single request could return a report for several entities.

At the bottom of the window, click the appropriate button as required: Save As, Print, Refresh, Close, Reset, or Help.

If required, click Close on the ( ) PM Report window.
