3.5 MEASUREMENTS FROM DIAGNOSTICS
A unit-based comparison of diagnostic measurements is provided in
Measurement Description
Bit errors Logic errors in
the bit stream
BPVs Pulses of the
same consecutive
polarity
Frame errors Incorrect values
in the framing
bit position
CRC errors Bit errors in a
block of data
3.6 FIRMWARE UPGRADES
Firmware upgrades are periodically made available to enhance performance or to add
features and functionality to the Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer.
To install new firmware on a Canopy T1/E1 Multiplexer, perform the following steps.
1. Close any other applications that are active on the PC.
2. From the main menu of the EMS, select Config→Software Upgrade (shown in
Figure 15
RESULT: The System Upgrade window opens, as shown in
