At Home in Any Test Environment

The FIREBERD 6000 performs in-service monitoring and loopback, end-to-end, and out-of-service testing.

Convenient and powerful, the FIREBERD 6000 sets the standard for physical and service layer analysis.

In the Field

A single field service package meets a wide array of test requirements. Whether

troubleshooting, benchmarking, or installing circuits, the FIREBERD 6000 is an

indispensable tool for getting the job done quickly. The FIREBERD 6000’s menu-

driven design keeps setup time to a minimum—you can even store and recall your

most frequently used configurations with the push of a button. The front-panel

display lets you monitor key test results at a glance, and the optional integrated lid

printer gives you hard copy documentation of all your findings. And because the

FIREBERD 6000 offers such an extensive array of measurements and alarm

reports, you can accurately find problems the first time and eliminate the need

for a second trip.

In the Network Control Center

Because the FIREBERD 6000 lets you monitor all field offices and switch nodes from a central location with DTM remote control software, you can find and fix network problems before they disrupt service. The FIREBERD 6000’s LEDs update you to the condition of your network and alert you to potential problems.

Packet Network Testing

Perform analysis of your circuits and equipment during deployment and provisioning of your network by generating frame relay and ATM traffic. Perform analysis on lost frames or cells by generating fixed or variable loads of traffic over multiple virtual channels to verify the service that your customers demand. The capability to test the physical layer and data link layer in a single platform provides the information to troubleshoot the most complex problems.

In-Service monitoring

Monitor live data at various access locations, from resistor-isolated DSX monitor points to a bridge on a four-wire access point, without disturbing revenuegenerating traffic. Ideal for routine maintenance, the FIREBERD 6000 offers a variety of in-service measurements, including bipolar violations, timing and level analysis, frame errors, and CRC errors.

T1/FT1

End-To-End Testing

Quickly isolate any problem to a specific direction by analyzing the performance of an entire digital link in both directions. Full-duplex end-to-end testing also serves as an excellent analysis of all circuits and equipment within your network.

Loopback Testing

Enjoy the convenience of using a single FIREBERD 6000 to perform out-of-service testing. Loopback testing is ideal as a quick check of circuit performance or when isolating faulty equipment. The FIREBERD 6000 supports all standard TI, E1, DDS, and data communications loopbacks.

Frame Relay Testing

Successful frame relay deployment begins with the proven transmission test capability of the FIREBERD 6000. With the Frame Relay Option, you can easily perform frame relay turn-up and troubleshooting tests over a permanent virtual circuit (PVC). The Frame Relay Option is compatible with the T1/FT1, 2M/Nx64, DDS, HSSI, V.35, X.21, RS-449, and most other FIREBERD 6000 interface modules.

The FIREBERD 6000 can test at both the User-to-Network Interface (UNI) and the Network-to-Network Interface (NNI)—including out-of-service and in-service testing. With the FIREBERD 6000 Frame Relay Option, you can easily perform a ping test to determine end-to-end PVC connectivity and to measure round trip delay.

Highlights
