Configuring Child Signal Termination Points

To configure a child Pipe Signal Termination Point specification:

  1. Create a new Pipe Signal Termination Point specification or navigate to the editor of an existing one.

    See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.

  2. In the Pipe Signal Termination Point Specification editor, click the Properties tab.

  3. In the Capacity Unit Amount field, enter an amount for the capacity.

    The value is relative to the selection in the Unit of Measure field. When you enter a value in the Capacity Unit Amount field, the Capacity Provided field is disabled. Capacity provided information is not required for child signal termination points.

  4. In the Unit of Measure field, select a unit of measure relative to the Capacity Unit Amount field.

    See "Creating Units of Measure" for information about creating a new Unit of Measure.

  5. In the Number of Child Signals field, select the appropriate value.

    For example, select 0 if this signal termination point will not have any child signal termination points. If the signal termination point will have children, this value will be greater than 0. For example, in a SONET or SDH signal structure, there can be more than two levels of signal termination points.

  6. From the File menu, select Save.
