Processing Signal Specification Editor Child Signal Relationships Tab

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

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 into 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 signals processing signals.
