The modular design of the Network Master Pro MT1000A platform makes it easy to support I&M for different network configurations. Combining it
with the 10G Multirate Module MU100010A offers the necessary functions for I&M of networks at speeds from 1.5 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Combining
with the 100G Multirate Module MU100011A, it supports more interface standards than any other handheld transport tester on the market such as
CFP4/QSFP28, QSFP+, SFP28 (25GbE), SFP+SFP and RJ45.
Coupled with a compact easy-to-use design and long battery operation, plus a large 9” easy-to-see color touch screen, remote GUI operation via
Internet connection, and more, the MT1000A is a key factor in increasing I&M test work efficiency.
Furthermore, options for each test function can be selected and added as necessary to match the work schedule, helping cut initial capital costs.

Strong Support for I&M Field Technicians

As networks get faster, I&M field technicians must not only master the relevant technical knowledge for each network type that includes metro
networks, mobile networks, data centers, etc., but must also understand the detailed tester operations for each of these networks.
In addition, sometimes multiple items must be measured at each commissioning, increasing the risk of operator errors.
But with the versatile and easy-to-use MT1000A functions, the risk of operator errors are decreased.

Easy-to-Use GUI

The MT1000A GUI (graphical user interface) is designed for intuitive onsite operation and speeds-up I&M test-result evaluations as well as problem
troubleshooting. Training time is also cut by the intuitive interface.

Remotely Controlled Network Installation, Start-up, and Maintenance

The MT1000A has a useful remote function for network installation, start-up and maintenance. Connecting the office and job site via LAN allows
engineers in the office to see screens at the on-site instrument while making settings and measurements, and troubleshooting. This provides an
efficient link between engineers and on-site measurements to help cut network installation and maintenance costs.

One Button Testing

The MT1000A has automatic test functions for simple and efficient
network commissioning. These MT1000A automated test functions run
scenario files created in advance on a PC to perform tests automatically
using preset measurement items, procedures, and pass/fail evaluation
conditions. Since the scenario also handles report creation, evaluation
and results, inexperienced workers can run accurate tests without
operation mistakes and re-tests.

Carrier Ethernet Installation and Troubleshooting

Network operators are introducing new carrier-class technologies, such as VLAN, Q-in-Q, Ethernet OAM, MPLS, PBB, MPLS-TP, etc., to their Ethernet
service menus, increasing test complexity and test time for field technicians.
The MU100010A/MU100011A Ethernet test functions provide strong support for commissioning and troubleshooting Ethernet networks up to 100G
speeds, including connectivity and band tests, QoS tests, and service-related tests.

Ethernet Service Activation Test (Y.1564)

With the ability to simultaneously test multiple traffic streams, ITU-T
Y.1564 is a new test methodology when deploying Ethernet networks.
Today's common RFC 2544 standard completes tests one at the time
and does not run all traffic streams simultaneously. ITU-T Y.1564 has
the following two test phases.

Service Configuration Test:

•

This section is completed quickly, within seconds per stream.
It confirms the end-to-end configuration while quickly checking the
Information Rate (IR), Frame Transfer Delay (FTD), Frame Delay
Variation (FDV), Frame Loss Ratio (FLR), Committed Burst Size (CBS) and
Excess Burst Size (EBS) sequentially for all configured traffic streams.

Y.1564 Service Conguration Test

RFC 2544 Test

RFC 2544 testing of Throughput, Frame Loss, Latency, Packet Jitter and
Burstability is straightforward with the MU100010A/MU100011A.
It automates the procedure while still allowing thorough test
configuration. For full information on performance at both line sides,
the end-to-end test mode allows two MT1000A testers to work together
in a local–remote configuration where the user controls both testers
and reads results from both locally. Easy to understand tabular screens
and bar graph presentations simplifies reading of results. Attractive
looking reports can be generated for presentation to end-customers.

Throughput Summary

Service Performance Test:

•

This section is completed based on the M.2110 standard for 15 minutes,
2 hours, 24 hours, or a user-selectable period.
It transmits all configured traffic streams simultaneously at the CIR,
confirming that all traffic can traverse the network under full load while
checking IR, FTD, FDV, FLR and Availability (AVAIL).

Y.1564 Service Performance Test

Simultaneous testing in the Service Performance Test section greatly
reduces the total test time compared to RFC 2544.

Throughput Graph

TCP Throughput (RFC 6349, iPerf) [Option]

Normally, IP network operators test their communications equipment in
accordance with the RFC 2544 and ITU-T Y.1564 standards, but even
when the test results are good, sometimes the expected end-to-end
data throughput is not achieved. Although data communications use
the TCP protocol for guaranteed data transfers, sometimes throughput
drops as a result of network delays, poor circuit quality, etc.
The RFC 6349 standard regulates the test methods for assuring operator
throughput over the TCP layer, and the MU100010A/MU100011A
modules with built-in TCP throughput option support TCP throughput
evaluation and testing in accordance with the RFC 6349 standard.
The iperf client function for testing TCP throughput is also supported.

Pass-through Mode

Configuring the MU100010A/MU100011A to Pass-through mode
supports detailed troubleshooting, especially in bi-directional networks
requiring traffic monitoring from both ends.

Pass-through monitoring by inserting MT1000A in network

IP Channel Statistics – Multiflow Counters

Up to 230 flows can be selected and filtered by MAC and IP Source/
Destination addresses, VLAN and MPLS to monitor selected streams
and display detailed information. This allows the user to identify error
streams, top talkers, and network attacks, as well as troubleshoot
network issues more deeply.

Ethernet OAM

To improve the performance of Ethernet-based networks and provide
Carrier Class service, many network providers have enhanced their
systems with Ethernet OAM (Operation, Administration and
Maintenance), supporting the ability to detect network faults and
measure performance. Ethernet OAM is defined by three standards
covering different network sections.
The ITU-T Y.1731 and IEEE 802.1ag standards are similar and support
end-to-end network functionality, while the IEEE 802.3 (previously IEEE

802.3ah) standard supports first (or last) mile functionality.
The MU100010A/MU100011A tests the network using all supported
OAM functions.

Ethernet Multistream

The MU100010A/MU100011A Ethernet Multistream function allows
simulation and testing of a congested network's ability to prioritize
high-priority traffic over low-priority traffic. The user can set different
priorities for up to 16 streams per port to measure how frame loss
affects network performance.
The Multistream function displays clear information on Packet Jitter and
Latency per stream, helping troubleshoot problematic issues for VoIP
services, etc.

One-way Delay Measurement Using Two MT1000A Units

One-way delay can be measured with high accuracy using two MT1000A/
MU100010A/MU100011A units at a distant location with installed
MU100090A.

Multi Stream Setting

MPLS and MPLS-TP

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) supports efficient traffic routing
on packet-based networks. MPLS – Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)
technology is based on standard MPLS and aims to give service
providers reliable connection-oriented packet-based transport over the
network. MPLS-TP offers service providers QoS, end-to-end Carrier
Class OAM, and protection switching. With its ability to insert up to 8
levels of MPLS labels, the MU100010A/MU100011A is a powerful tool
for testing MPLS and MPLS-TP networks including OAM functions.
