SONET/SDH Test Module

Advanced SONET/SDH Access and Metro
Testing

EXFO’s FTB-8115 Transport Blazer test module combines advanced DSn/PDH and SONET/SDH test functions in a single unit,
eliminating the need for multiple, purpose-built test platforms for the commissioning or troubleshooting of T1/E1 to OC-48/STM­16 circuits. The extensive list of DSn, SONET, PDH and SDH features available on the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer allows users to
perform a wide range of tests from simple bit-error-rate (BER) analysis to more advanced network characterization and troubleshooting.
These functions include:

Mixed and bulk payload generation
and analysis from 64 kbit/s
to 2.5 Gbit/s

High-order mappings:
STS-1/3c/12c/48c and
AU-3/AU-4/AU-4-4c/16c

Low-order mappings: VT1.5/2/6,
TU-11/12/2/3

SmartMode: Real-Time Signal Structure
Discovery and Monitoring

EXFO’s FTB-8115 Transport Blazer supports a unique feature called
SmartMode. This provides users with full visibility of all high-order (STS/AU)
and low-order (VT/TU) mixed mappings within the incoming SONET/SDH
test signal.

SmartMode automatically discovers the signal structure of the OC-n/STM-n
line, including mixed mappings. In addition to this in-depth multichannel
visibility, SmartMode performs real-time monitoring of all discovered high­order paths and user selected low-order paths simultaneously, providing
users with the industry’s most powerful SONET/SDH multichannel monitoring
and troubleshooting solution. Real-time monitoring allows users to easily
isolate network faults, saving valuable time and minimizing service disruption.
SmartMode also provides one-touch test case start, allowing users to quickly
configure a desired test path.

Unsurpassed Confi guration
and Operational Flexibility

Multiplatform Support and Versatility

The FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module is supported and interchangeable on the
FTB-500 Platform or the FTB-200 Compact Platform. This cross-platform support
provides users with added fl exibility by enabling them to select the appropriate
platform that suits their testing needs. EXFO is the fi rst and only test solution
provider to offer this versatility, delivering single to multi-application test solutions
with the same hardware module, which in turn dramatically reduces capital
expenditures.

Inserted in the FTB-200 Compact Platform, the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module
delivers SONET/SDH test functions in a small, lightweight platform, ideal for fi eld
technicians’ installation and commissioning needs. When combined with the
FTB-200’s optional integrated high-precision power meter, visual fault locator and
fi ber scope, this solution provides all the critical test tools required for day-to-day
activities, eliminating the need to carry and manage multiple test sets.

The FTB-8115 module is supported in the FTB-200 and
FTB-500 platforms.

Using the FTB-500 platform provides users with an all-in-one solution
supporting a mix of SONET/SDH/OTN, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and
optical-layer test modules, making it the industry’s fi rst truly integrated
network testing platform. This modularity enables users to upgrade their
systems in the fi eld according to their testing needs. This multiservice test
platform is the ideal solution for fi eld, central offi ce and lab applications.

Remote Management

Through the optical Visual Guardian Lite™ management software,

With its modular, multislot design, the FTB-500 platform enables
users to confi gure and upgrade their systems in the fi eld according
to their testing needs, minimizing capital expenditures.

the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module allows users to perform remote
testing and data analysis, as well as remote monitoring via standard
Ethernet or remote dial-up connections.

Automated Test Scripting

When confi gured for the FTB-500 platforms, the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer
comes with a built-in macrorecorder, allowing users to easily record their test
actions and automatically create test scripts. This also allows them to build
standard test routines that can be easily accessed and run by fi eld technicians with
little or no manual intervention.

Test Logger and Reporting

EXFO’s FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module supports a detailed test logger
and test reporting tools, enabling users to view any errors/alarms that occurred
during the test interval, which can then be used for post-processing of results or
SLA conformance validation.

Test logger: a detailed, time-stamped list of all events occurring
during test execution.

, is used to monitor the performance of a subsection of a SONET/SDH path routed
via different network providers. The FTB-8115 supports transmitting and receiving alarms and errors on a TCM link; also, transmission
and monitoring of the tandem connection (TC) trace can be generated to verify the connection between TCM equipment.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Scripting The built-in scripting engine and embedded macro-recorder provide a simple means of automating test cases and routines. Embedded

scripting routines provide a powerful means of creating advanced test scripts. Available for the FTB-500 platform.

Power-up and restore In the event of a power failure to the unit, the active test configuration and test logger are saved and restored upon bootup.
Store and load configurations Ability to store and load test configurations to/from non-volatile memory.
Alarm hierarchy Alarms are displayed according to a hierarchy based on root cause. Secondary effects are not displayed. This hierarchy serves to facilitate

alarm analysis.

Configurable test views This allows users to customize their test views; i.e., to dynamically insert or remove test tabs/windows, in addition to creating new test

windows, so as to accurately match their testing needs.

Configurable test timer Provides the ability for a user to set pre-defined test start and stop times.
Remote control Remote management software. This allows users to remotely monitor and control the FTB-8115 module via standard Ethernet connection.

FTB-8080 Sync Analyzer

The FTB-8080 Synch Analyzer is a comprehensive test solution for telecom network synchronization assurance, monitoring and troubleshooting applications. It offers a
full range of wander and sync testing functionalities, including graphical display of TIE, MTIE and TDEV parameters, as well as comparison to ITU/ANSI/TS standards and
user-definable masks. The companion Sync View software suite allows remote data retrieval and test case setup, eliminating the need to visit test sites during prolonged
monitoring periods. The FTB-8080 can be used in conjunction with the FTB-8105, FTB-8115 and/or FTB-8120/8130 modules to provide wander measurements up to
OC-192/STM-64 rates.

FTB-8120/8130 Transport Blazer Next-Generation SONET/SDH Test Modules

The FTB-8120 (2.5/2.7 Gbit/s) and FTB-8130 (10/10.7 Gbit/s) Transport Blazer test modules combine advanced DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, next-generation SONET/
SDH and optical transport network (OTN) test functions, eliminating the need for multiple purpose-built test platforms when commissioning or troubleshooting SONET/
SDH, OTN and new data-aware SONET/SDH circuits. These modules offer DS0/E0 to OC-192/STM-64 testing in a single unit, and they perform Ethernet-over-SONET/
SDH (EoS) testing via optional support for GFP, VCAT and LCAS. Thanks to the SmartMode functionality, they also enable signal structure discovery for rates of up to
