xii FTB-8100 Series Transport Blazer
1 Introducing the FTB-8100
Series Transport Blazer
Fully integrated test solution supporting next-generation SONET/SDH,
optical transport network (OTN), Ethernet, and Fibre Channel test
functions.
This user guide covers the FTB-8100 Series of modules including the
FTB-8105, FTB-8115, FTB-8120, FTB-8120NG, FTB-8120NGE, FTB-8130,
FTB-8130NG, and FTB-8130NGE.
This user guide only covers the “SONET/SDH Application” which covers
DSn/PDH, next-generation SONET/SDH, and OTN test fuctions. Refer to the
“Ethernet and Fibre Channel Application” user guide for more information
on Ethernet and Fibre Channel test functions.
SONET/SDH and OTN Service Turn-up and
Troubleshooting
The FTB-8100 Series Transport Blazer modules offer a wide range of
SONET/SDH and OTN test functions, allowing users to perform tests
ranging from simple bit error rate (BER) testing to advanced
characterization and troubleshooting procedures.
Next-Generation SONET/SDH Testing (available on
the FTB-400/500 platform only)
The FTB-8120NG, and FTB-8130NG, FTB-8120NGE, and FTB-8130NGE
modules support Next-Generation SONET/SDH capabilities in addition to
providing SONET/SDH test functions.
Available Next-Generation SONET/SDH test functionality include generic
framing procedure (GFP), virtual concatenation (VCAT) and link capacity
adjustment scheme (LCAS).
SONET/SDH Application 1
Introducing the FTB-8100 Series Transport Blazer
SmartMode: Real-Time Signal Structure Discovery
and Monitoring
The Transport Blazer supports a unique feature called SmartMode, which
automatically discovers the signal structure of the OC-n/STM-n line
including mixed mappings and virtual concatenation (VCAT) members. In
addition to this in-depth multichannel visibility, SmartMode performs
real-time monitoring of all discovered high-order paths and user selected
low-order paths simultaneously, providing users with the industry’s most
powerful SONET/SDH multichannel monitoring and troubleshooting
solution.
Multiplatform Support and Versatility
The FTB-8105/15/20/30 modules share a unique architecture that allows
them to be supported and interchangeable on both the FTB-400/500
Universal Test System and the FTB-200 Compact Platform. This
cross-platform support provides users with added flexibility by enabling
them to select the appropriate platform that suits their testing needs. EXFO
is the first 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.

3 Getting Started
If the FTB-8100 Series Transport Blazer has been purchased at the same
time as the FTB-200, the FTB-8100 Series module is pre-installed with the
appropriate Compact ToolBox/ToolBox CE software version.
Compact ToolBox/ToolBox CE Installation
Compact ToolBox or ToolBox CE is the baseline software and thus needs to
be installed on the FTB-200 before using the FTB-8100 Series module.
Note: Refer to the FTB-200 platform user guide for more information on Compact
ToolBox/ToolBox CE installation procedure.
Inserting and Removing Test Modules
CAUTION
Never insert or remove a module while the FTB-200 is turned on.
This will result in immediate and irreparable damage to both the
module and unit.
Note: Refer to the FTB-200 platform user guide for more information on how to
insert a module into the FTB-200 or to remove a module from the FTB-200.

When the laser safety LED is flashing on the SONET/SDH Application,
at least one of your modules is emitting an optical signal. Please
check all modules, as it might not be the one you are currently
using.
Turning the Unit On
Turn on the FTB-200. Refer to the FTB-200 platform user guide for more
information.
