 Compatibility

• ET155-1 ETSI is functional compatible with ET155-7

• ET155-1 ETSI is not operational compatible with ET155-7 due
to:
– New parameter “MODE” in command NTCOI
– New parameter “DIPTYPE” in command DTDII
– New parameter for mapping mode on SDH layer
– New BBE counter in SDH PM function
