3 Getting Started

If the FTB/IQS-88000 Power Blazer Series has been purchased at the same time as the platform, the FTB/IQS-88000 Series module is pre-installed with the appropriate software version.

Equipment Rules for 88100NGE/88100G

There is a limitation on the number of FTB/IQS-88100NGE/88100G modules and Transport and Datacom modules that can run simultaneously on a FTB-500 and IQS-600 platforms due to 40G/100G CFP power consumption, the following equipping rules are mandatory. For example with a 8-slot FTB-500 platform, two 88xx modules can run simultaneously with either three 8105, one 8510B, or one 8510G.

CFP Interface

CFP Interface
The FTB/IQS-88000 Series provides a CFP interface slot that can be used with a CFP transceiver, or an EXFO’s CFP to CFP2 adapter module.
CAUTION
Before inserting an optical module into the CFP interface slot, inspect the slot to make sure nothing is inside.
Note: Do not replace transceiver while the test is running to avoid distorting
results. First stop the test, replace the transceiver, select the connector type (refer to Modify Structure Button on page 77), and then restart the test.
Note: To ensure proper optical module detection/validation, make sure that the
CFP screws are fully secured.

EtherSAM (Y.1564)

EtherSAM (Y.1564)
EtherSAM can simulate all types of services that will run on the network and simultaneously qualify all key SLA parameters for each of these services. Moreover, it validates the QoS mechanisms provisioned in the network to prioritize the different service types, resulting in more accurate validation and much faster deployment and troubleshooting.
The EtherSAM (Y.1564) test, in single port configuration, has to be executed in conjunction with a remote module or in Internal Loopback mode. The remote module can be either in loopback configuration for unidirectional testing or in EtherSAM Dual Test Set mode for bidirectional testing.
The Dual Test Set test allows bi-directional test between two compatible modules providing independent results for each test direction. The results from local-to-remote and remote-to-local are available on the local testing unit.
The Dual Port topology allows simultaneous and bidirectional traffic generation and analysis at 100% wire-speed at any packet size. Dual Port topology is only available for rates up to 10G LAN.

Smart Loopback

Smart Loopback
Allows transmitting back the received Ethernet stream of data while interchanging the source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, and/or UDP/TCP ports. However in Transparent (Pseudo-Physical) mode the Smart Loopback operates as a physical loopback by transmitting all received frames unaltered and without discrimination.
The Smart Loopback test can be created locally (refer to Ethernet Test
Applications on page 63) or remotely using an EXFO unit (refer to Discover Remote Button on page 498) or a Third-Party device (see Third-Party Remote Loopback on page 52).
Typical Smart Loopback test application:
Supported Interfaces/Rates: 10M to 100G.

Smart Loopback
Third-Party Remote Loopback
The Third-party Remote Loopback feature provides the capability to be discovered and react to loop-up and loop-down commands from a third party device. This feature is used for unidirectional testing, where the test stream is transmitted from the third party device to a remote EXFO device. The looped back test stream is received and analyzed by the third-party device.
The third-party loopback supports three level of messages:
Layer 2: Only MAC addresses are swapped.
Layer 3: MAC and IP addresses are swapped.
Layer 4: MAC and IP addresses are swapped along with the UDP port.
To emulate a third-party remote device, the loopback mode is set in the function of the layer of loop messages received. The loop messages are:
Layer 2: Ethernet
Layer 3: IP
Layer 4: UDP/TCP
On receipt of the third-party loop-up command as per requested layer, the loopback mode is set and initiated on the module.

TCP Throughput

TCP Throughput
The objective of this test is to find the TCP throughput based on the successfully transported bytes over the test time. Two units running a TCP Throughput test are required. One unit will act as the source (Local) and the other one as the destination (Remote).
The local unit starts sending TCP segments using the Initial Window Size defined. The window size is adjusted following the TCP algorithm. The window size is incremented until the Maximum Window Size or congestion is reached. However, the window size will be reduced when congestion occurs, then incremented again as described above when the congestion is cleared. TCP Throughput and windows size statistics will be gathered throughout the test.
Typical TCP Throughput test application:
Supported Interfaces/Rates: 10M to 1G.

Carrier Ethernet OAM
The Ethernet Service OAM tests are divided in two main categories:
Performance Monitoring measures parameters such as frame delay,
frame loss, and synthetic loss (Y.1731/MEF).
Connectivity Fault Management provides the capability for detecting,
verifying, and isolating connectivity failure (Y.1731/802.1ag/MEF).
Typical Carrier Ethernet OAM test applications:

Cable Test

Cable Test
The cable test application is used to diagnose un-shielded twisted pairs (UTP) cables (up to Category 6e/Class E).
Cable test can be performed everywhere in the network where an electrical 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interface is available for testing. Only the pairs used by the Ethernet signal will be tested. For 10 Base-T, and 100 Base-TX, pair 2 and 3 will be tested; for 1000 Base-T, all pairs will be tested. However, if the Ethernet signal is unknown, all four pairs will be tested.
Even if a link up is not required when testing with a far end equipment, it is preferable to have the far end equipment powered up to maximize the cable test results.
Supported Ethernet cable categories are: Category 3/Class C, Category 4, Category 5, Category 5e/Class D, and Category 6e/Class E.
Note: Cable test result is reliable for cable length of 10 meters to 120 meters
(32.81 feet to 393.7 feet).

For CFP/CFP2 interface: To ensure proper optical module detection/validation, make sure that the CFP/CFP2 screws are fully secured.
The status for a physical CFP/CFP2 interface and the compatibility with the selected signal/interface is indicated as follows. The icon and its description are also displayed just below the test application name when validating or if there is a CFP/CFP2 problem.

Missing CFP/CFP2
Invalid CFP/CFP2 or mismatch with the selected signal/interface.

For serial CFP interface, an interlink fault status indicates a problem at the interconnect between the serial CFP and the module. No icon is displayed when there is no interlink fault. The icon and its description is also displayed just below the test application name when there is a CFP problem.
Icon Description
Fault detected on either TX, RX, or TX/RX interlink. If an interlink fault is reported we recommend to try the following to fix the issue: Fully remove the CFP, wait 30 seconds then fully re-insert and secure the CFP with its screws.

Arrows are used to indicate the interconnection between blocks as
well as the direction of the clock and data flow.
A line with an arrow on both ends indicates a bidirectional communication (TX/RX).
A line with a single arrow indicates a unidirectional communication, either TX when going out of a block or RX when going into a block.
A line going out of a block returning back to the same block, indicates a loopback communication.
Physical Clock Port indicates the direction, TX or RX, of the selected

Framing: For OTN BERT test application, parallel interfaces, allows the
selection of the test framing type. For serial interfaces, OTN BERT and SONET/SDH BERT test applications, the Framing is set to Framed. For OTN - SONET/SDH BERT test application, the test is framed.
Framed (default): Same Pattern or Ethernet client in each physical
lane.
20 Unframed Logical Lanes: Independent test pattern in each
logical lane. Available with: OTU4 (4 and 10 Lanes [111.81 Gbit/s].

Top ol og y allows the selection of the network test topology.
Coupled uses the same settings for both the TX and RX signals.
Decoupled, supported with DSn/PDH BERT test application, uses
independent settings for TX and RX signals. However, the pattern and some other parameters are always coupled.
Through loops the RX signal to the TX port without TX overwrite
capabilities.
Through Intrusive loops the RX signal to the TX port with TX
overwrite capabilities. Only available with OC-768/STM-256 and OTU3.
