Connectivity Signal Termination Point Specification Editor Child Signal Relationships Tab

Use the Child Signal Relationships tab to review details about the hierarchical relationships of a Connectivity Signal Termination Point specification. See UIM Concepts and UIM Information Model Reference for more information about these relationships.

This tab is relevant only for channelized (non-packet) Connectivity Signal Termination Point specifications.

Field Use

Supports Child Signals

Lists child signals that can be enabled by the signal defined by this specification. (The supported signals are sometimes called riders.) For example, a VT-6 SPE channel signal can support (enable) a T-Carrier DS2 transmission facility.

Aligns to Child Signals

Lists child signals that are not located in a fixed position within an SDH or SONET frame signal. For example, in the SONET technology, a VT-1.5 processing signal aligns to a VT-1.5 SPE signal termination point.

Maps to Child Signals

Lists child signals that are mapped to this signal with the same rate. For example, in the SDH technology, a VC-2 processing signal maps to a C-2 signal termination point.

Multiplexes to Child Signals

Lists child signals into which this signal can be multiplexed. For example, in the SDH technology, a TUG-2 processing signal multiplexes to four TU-11 processing signals.
