Enabling Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring

Figure 8-7
Threshold tab
Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example,
customers with a critical DS1 installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best quality of service on the
line; therefore, they lower all thresholds so that the slightest error raises a TCA.
8.3 Enabling Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring
Intermediate-path performance monitoring (IPPM) allows transparent monitoring of a constituent
channel of an incoming transmission signal by a node that does not terminate that channel. Many large
ONS 15454 networks only use line terminating equipment (LTE) not path terminating equipment (PTE).
