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.

Physical Interfaces and LEDs

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 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.

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

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

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:

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).

 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.
