Rate Code Editor

You use the Rate Code editor to review information about the system-provided rate codes in Design Studio for Inventory. Rate codes are associated to Connectivity Signal Termination Point specifications and Processing Signal specifications to define the technology and transmission bit rate of the signals.

See UIM Concepts, UIM Cartridge Guide, and UIM Information Model Reference for more information.

Field	Use
Name	Displays the rate code designation as an acronym or mnemonic, and which describes a technology-specific transmission rate for a signal, service, connectivity, transmission facility, or device interface. For example, a SONET technology STS-192 signal that operates at a transmission rate of 9,953.230 Mb/s can be referred to as STS192. A device interface that supports an STS-192 signal termination can be described as supporting the STS192 rate code.
Description	Displays additional information about the rate code, when necessary.
Nominal Bit Rate	Displays the transmission bit rate associated with the rate code.
Unit of Measure	Displays the unit of measure of the nominal bit rate.
Connectivity Function	Displays the connectivity function associated with the rate code.
Technology	Displays the technologies that the rate code supports. Examples of communication technologies include: Ethernet SDH Frame Relay T-Carrier A set of technologies is supplied in the ora_uim_basetechnologies cartridge.
