Introducing the BV10

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.

BV10-100 and BV10-1000

Getting Started

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).

BV10

Getting Started

Connecting the Power

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.

AC unit ground lug and hardware

DC unit ground lug and hardware

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.

BV10-100 and BV10-1000

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.

WARNING

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.

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.

Getting Started

Connecting the Power

3. Connect the other end of the wires to the DC power source.

CAUTION

The DC input feeds to the equipment must be protected by 20 A rated maximum breaker provided as part of the building installation.

Permanently connected equipment must have a switch or circuit-breaker for disconnection. If the switch is not part of the kit:

Include a switch or circuit-breaker in the installation.

The switch must be located easily, and placed near the equipment.

The switch must be specified as the disconnecting device for the equipment.

4.To add a redundant DC power source on the BV10, repeat step 1 through step 3.

WARNING

To avoid serious injuries as well as irreparable damages to your unit, ALWAYS TURN OFF BOTH DISCONNECT DEVICES BEFORE OPENING OR SERVICING THE UNIT.

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:

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

BV10-100 and BV10-1000

Managing BV10 Verifier on BrixWorx

Configuring a Test

3. To configure the port of communication, type the following command:

BV10-1000 (DEBUG)> server discovery port value

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

SSH service

Telnet service

Refer to Test Applications on page 73 for more information on the tests supported on the BV10 Verifier.
