BrixWorx for Turn Up
BrixWorx for Turn Up
BrixWorx for Turn Up is a system designed for Turn-Up and reflector testing
with no monitoring capability. BrixWorx for Turn Up supports a central
management system, Verifier management for the supported Verifier
models, and user management. BrixWorx for Turn Up does not support
active or passive testing.
The BV10 Verifier is designed specifically for Ethernet OAM Handling, UDP
Echo Responder, TWAMP Light Responder, and Smart Loopback test
features. These features are enabled by loading the tests on the Verifier
Information page (Additional Services section) and in some cases
specifying parameters, such as a UDP Listening port for TWAMP or the
mode for Smart Loopback.
For more information, refer to the BrixWorx for Turn Up Getting Started
guide to learn more about the features of the BrixWorx for Turn Up system
and the BrixWorx User Guide to learn more about the Verifier Information
page.

3 Getting Started
Installing the BV10 in a Rack
The BV10 can be mounted in a rack using the rack mount accessory kit
(ordered separately). The accessory kit shelf holds up to four BV10.
To install the BV10 in a rack:
1. Attach the brackets of the supplied shelf unit to your rack using the
supplied screws.
2. If cables have been attached to the BV10, disconnect all of them as
well as the ground lug from the unit.
3. Slide the unit into the desired slot from front to back.
4. With the unit completely inserted into the slot, tighten the thumb screw
at the back of the unit.
5. Connect all cables and the ground lug, as explained in the next
sections.

Getting Started
Connecting the Power
Connecting the Power
The BV10 is available with either an AC power supply, DC +24 V connector,
or DC –48 V connector.
As soon as the BV10 is connected to a live power supply, the POWER LED
turns on. If the POWER LED does not turn on, there is a power failure at the
source or the unit is damaged. The STATUS LED indicates whether or not
the unit is ready for use. If the STATUS LED is off the unit is booting up. If it
is green or red the unit has booted (refer to STATUS on page 20).

Grounding the BV10
The BV10 is equipped with a ground lug and hardware attached to the
back of the unit. The grounding hardware consists of a washer with
external teeth facing the unit and a locking nut. You will need to supply a
#12 AWG wire.
WARNING
The BV10 DC version is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the unit is
connected to earth ground during normal use.
To ground the BV10:
1. Loosen the locking nut on the grounding lug.
2. Using a #12 AWG wire, twist the wire around the lug so that it is
touching the flat surface of the washer. The wire must be twisted
between the washer and the locking nut.
3. Tighten the locking nut.
4. Connect the other end of the wire to the ground distribution network.

Getting Started
Connecting the Power
Connecting the BV10 using an AC/DC Power
Source
The typical output voltage of the external brick AC power supply is 9 V DC.
To connect the BV10 to an AC power source:
1. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter and the
other end to an AC wall outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the power supply to the DC barrel power
connector on the BV10.
Connecting the BV10 using a DC Power Source
The BV10 DC version is equipped with either +24 V DC or –48 V DC
connector.
Powering a BV10 +24 V DC unit with a –48 V power source will
permanently damage the unit. The +24 V input range is 20-32 V.
WARNING
Powering a BV10 –48 V DC unit with a +24 V power source will
permanently damage the unit. The –48 V input range is –40 to –72 V.
To connect the BV10 to a DC power source:
1. Using 14-16 AWG copper insulated wires and the supplied connector,
insert the two stripped wires into the connector and tighten the screws
firmly. Either use non-stranded wire or crimp a ferrule onto the wire.
Be sure to respect the polarity.
The positive supply wire lead must be on the right side of the
connector and the negative supply wire on the left side.

5 Managing BV10 Verifier on
BrixWorx
This chapter describes how to configure and use BV10 hardware on
BrixWorx. It explains the CLI commands used to communicate with the
BrixWorx registry and describes how to set up tests using the BrixWorx
user interface.
Note: When the BV10 is used in a BrixWorx environment, you must use BrixWorx
GUI rather than CLI prompt to manage the BV10 device. When you change
a reflector to run or not through the CLI, this is not updated on the BrixWorx
GUI Additional Services page. The GUI changes override the changes done
using the CLI prompt.
Configuring BV10 Verifier for BrixWorx Registry
The BV10 Verifier must be configured before you can use it in the BrixWorx
system. Once the configuration of a BV10 Verifier is complete, you must
add it to BrixWorx just like any other Verifier.
Configure the BV10 Verifier
To configure the BV10 Verifier for use in the BrixWorx system:
1. Access the CLI prompt using Telnet or SSH. To log on to the Telnet or
SSH server, use the following login information:
Login ID:
Password: exfo123
The CLI prompt name contains the BV10 model number followed by
(DEBUG). For example:
BV10-1000 (DEBUG)>
2. To configure the IP address of the local BrixWorx registry, type the
following command:
BV10-1000 (DEBUG)> server discovery local IP address

The default port value is 80.
4. To save the new port value, type the following command:
BV10-1000 (DEBUG)> server discovery write
Add the BV10 to BrixWorx
Once you have configured a BV10, you must add it to BrixWorx.
Refer to the BrixWorx User Guide for more information on how to add the
BV10 Verifier to the BrixWorx system.
Configuring a Test
Only a specific set of BrixWorx tests are supported by the BV10 Verifier. All
tests supported on the BV10 Verifier are available through BrixWorx:
Ethernet OAM Handling
UDP Echo Responder
TWAMP Light Responder
Smart Loopback
