Ordering Information

Applications:

• Out-of-service Testing.
• Online Testing.

Functions:

• Bit Error Rate testing
• Performance analysis according to international standards including G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, M.2100 and M.2101.

• Pointer monitoring: Generate and receive G.783 pointer and NDF pointer and display pointer value real‐time with tabular and graphic
• APS timing measurement: Measure the network switchover time; Insert K1K2 sequence at Tx-end, preset switching protection trigger condition; capture K1K2 bytes at Rx end and decode the bytes
• Round trip delay measurement
• Auto scan each tributary with the range optional
• Timing and synchronization testing
• Real‐time optical power testing
• TCM serial monitoring: Insert and monitor SDH channel’s abnormality and TCM message

The common test operation are done by the following test

1. E1 Self-Test
2. E1 in-service Test
3. SDH (155M) Optical Interface Off-Line remote Loop Test

1. E1 Self-Test:

The E1 Self-test is performed by connecting the Tx and Rx in a circle. The test result of Rx should be same with the Tx.

Connect the Device:

Directly connect the E1 Tx and Rx with self-test coaxial cable as follows

Start the software test:

Switch on the system and it displays the system operation window after 30.

Click the Real time test button and run the software

Select the Tx channel and the channel validity is related with signal structure.

Set the parameters and start the test task.

2. E1 in-service Test:

Start the software test:

Switch on the system and it displays the system operation window after 30 seconds as shown in the picture below. Click the Real time test button and run the software.

Set the parameter and configure the frame structure according to the testing signal and connect the device.

Connect the device:

In-service test needs to be bridged over tested line by high-impedance. Connect 2M line and E1 Rx as shown in the picture and start the analysis task.

3. SDH (155M) Optical Interface Off-Line remote Loop Test:

• Connect the device with the tested device by optical interface
• Start the Software test
• Set the parameters and start the analysis test.

Picture shows the device connected by optical interface

Self-Test:

Self-test is used to check the installation status and work status of the modules and the performance and function are normal. Self-Test Interface are shown in the picture.

Main Interface:

Main interface includes the following

• Menu bar
• Tool bar
• Alarm area
• Work area
• Status bar
• Work area display parameter setting
• Analysis task and
• Error analysis

Task analysis and error analysis can be created and deleted freely. When a new task created, task analysis and error analysis corresponds to a tab and a new tab will be added. When some task closed, the tab will be deleted.

Operations:

Error analysis

Error Analysis includes the analysis according to ITU G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, and M.2100 criterion. Error Analysis events include ES, EFS, SES, BBE, SEP, AS, UAS value and rate. According to the requirements criteria, the testing results counted as acceptable, unacceptable or undetermined. Monitor Point is the error type for error analysis.

Analysis Results include data at near end or remote end, or only the data at near end. Each result display generally value or ratio. The results are as follows

• ErrBits
• ErrBlks
• EFS
• ES
• SES
• BBE
• SEP
• AS,UAS
• Status

Tributary Scan Test

Tributary Scan is to scan tributary status and anomaly/defect information. It is used to scan each tributary at SOH, AU Pointer, High Path Overhead, TU Pointer and Low Path Overhead. According to anomaly/defect information, the tributary status decides the Unload status, Load 0.181anomaly test signal status, Normal status and Anomaly Status. In SDH one STM-1 includes 63 VC-12 tributary, 3 VC3 and 1 VC4.It is not necessary to multiplex and Re-multiplex SDH signal and switch for tributary signal, which is the vital performance of SDH.

 TCM Test

Click the task TCM test to start serial monitor test. TCM test includes Tx channel, Rx channel and event record. Tx settings and Rx settings are independent. The following table is the TCM test validity.
