Features

The 2310 meets the ever-changing needs of today’s transmission test workforce with powerful features that provide
streamlined, reliable functionality across all applications. With the 2310, testing and service qualification are as easy
as the touch of a button. Because technicians need only minimal training to use this equipment, testing objectives are
addressed more quickly and costs of ownership are significantly reduced. Key features on the 2310 include:

Application-Driven Icons—Test application buttons are labeled with icons which clearly depict the way the
test is performed on the circuit (e.g., circuit monitoring tests are indicated by “MON/THRU”). The icons and
quick setup buttons enable techicians to use the 2310 effectively, with very little training.

Dual results window

Application driven icons

Auto Configuration—Support for auto configuration is provided in all key applications on the 2310. One-but-
ton touch configures different test parameters, such as framing, pattern, and tributary scan, and enables users
to reduce the test set-up time required.

Automation—Reduce set-up time and increase efficiency of the tests performed by running pre-programmed
scripts off the PCMCIA card. The command line remote control feature enables technicians to connect to the
2310 through the PCMCIA serial card or PCMCIA modem and configure tests or analyze results in detail.

Configurable Results (Quad Results™)—Correlate results from multiple interfaces and payload mappings
(SONET/DS3/DS1) and quickly assess network performance by using the 2310’s configurable results fea­tures. It also provides functionality to analyze selected results simultaneously in up to four windows.

Physical, Active Port, and Laser Active LEDs—A bright array of physical LEDs on the front panel summarizes
results and clearly identifies errors detected during a test. Active Port LEDs on the top panel display the inter­faces to use for specific tests—a key consideration when performing mux tests. Laser Active LEDs indicate
when the transmit laser is active and when laser pulses are received.

Use automation scripts to verify network per­formance with the touch of a single button

interfaces simultaneously

Simultaneous Results for Different Signal Rates—Analyze results from different signal rates simultaneously
(e.g., DS1 in a muxed DS3 in an OC-3 signal) to quickly identify the source of problems and verify circuit per­formance. Soft LED results also provide rapid access to information on errors and alarms.

VT100 Emulation—Perform VT100 terminal emulation to connect to network elements in order to per-
form configurations and monitor available statistics.

Timed Prints and Error Logs—Print results every few minutes, at the end of a test, or at the occurrence of an
error using the 2310’s print features.

Through Mode for All Rates—Gain access to test circuits (DS1 through OC-48) even when no test access or
monitor point is provided. The 2310’s Through mode capability monitors test circuits by channeling network
traffic through the test equipment.

Applications

SONET Analysis

Qualify the performance of SONET networks quickly and easily with the 2310’s intuitive GUI. With its sup­port for various payload mappings, the 2310 enables testing and verification of individual payloads inside
an OC-n signal (DS1, DS3, muxed DS3, VT1.5, OC-n subrates). Technicians can name and identify trace
messages and payloads by using the 2310’s user-configurable path trace messages. The 2310’s SONET test
applications can be used to:

• Verify end-to-end network performance via BER testing at optical and electrical interface rates (OC­48/48c, OC-12/12c, OC-3/3c, STS-1, DS3, DS1)

• Analyze SONET network performance under abnormal conditions by simulating pointer justifications and
inserting error and alarm conditions

• Detect performance degradations and alarms and verify protection line connectivity using
Monitor/Through mode

• Verify SONET network element performance by manipulating overhead bytes (e.g., pointer adjustments,
alarms, K1/K2 bytes)

• Monitor individual DS1 or DS3 payloads and OC-n subrates for analysis

• Verify signal power, signal frequency, and level measurements

Perform VT100 emulation to configure net­work elements and monitor statistics

DS3 Analysis

Ensure DS3 network performance by using end-to-end BER testing and by measuring frequency and signal lev­els on the circuit under test. Technicians can qualify networks for accurate multiplexer operation by performing
BER testing on one or all DS1 channels transmitted by a DS3 multiplexer. Access to the DS3 signal is provided
from the DS3 interface or a DS3 signal embedded in an STS-1, OC-3,OC-12, or OC-48 circuit. Reduce total test­ing time on DS3 circuits by using the dual DS3 receivers to perform bi-directional monitoring.

DS1 Analysis

Verify T1 network performance with the 2310’s integrated BER test and with signal, alarm, and timing tests. A
wide range of stress test patterns combined with bi-directional monitoring enable technicians to identify and
sectionalize circuit problems and quickly qualify circuits for service acceptance. Users can perform VF analysis
of voice trunks with the 2310’s VF levels and tones measurement support. The drop-and-insert test feature qual­ifies a DS0 channel while the T1 circuit remains in service. The 2310 isolates sources of timing errors by using
external bits clock input to identify network synchronization problems. Access to the DS1 signal is provided
from the T1 interface or from the DS1 signal embedded in a DS3, STS-1, OC-3, OC-12, or OC-48 circuit.

ATM Analysis

Analyze ATM circuits at OC-3c and OC-12c rates and generate multiple cell-streams
to perform key quality of service measurements, cell statistics, and bandwidth uti­lization. The 2310 also provides support to modify the VPI/VCI, PTI, CLP, and GFC
fields of the cell header, and to save up to four transmit profiles.

GR-303 Protocol Link Analysis

Perform basic GR-303 protocol link analysis in Monitor/Through mode at the 64K
data rate on a call processing (TMC/CSC) or operations channel (EOC). Analysis is conducted unobtrusively
to decode messages at the system’s protocol links. Technicians can monitor call statistics, filter call control mes-
sages based on cause code, or monitor layer-2 packet statistics to qualify proper functioning of the GR-303
interface.

ISDN PRI Testing

Emulate an ISDN TE device (e.g., PBX) to place and receive voice and data calls on an ISDN PRI circuit. The
2310 enables users to monitor and capture signaling messages exchanged on the D-Channel. Call status results
and progress reports provide an additional level of detail to ensure calls are successfully established. ISDN
functions provided by the 2310 include:

• Support for AT&T—5ESS, DMS-100, National ISDN-II—specific call control

• Backup D-Channel testing functionality to switch between stand-by and in-service D-Channels

• Test multiple DS1 lines with NFAS testing

• Bi-directional monitoring with full text decodes for protocol messages exchanged on the D-Channel

Signaling Analysis

Emulate the PBX/switch for placing and receiving calls and monitor signaling digits for detailed analysis. Key
signaling features of the 2310 include:

• Emulate E&M, loop start, and ground start for placing and receiving calls

• DP, DTMF, and MF digit recognition

• Inter-event or inter-digit delay measurements

• Event and digit duration measurements

• Speaker, microphone, or handset functionality for checking voice integrity

• Signaling (ABCD) bits for all DS0s in one simple result window

and user-programmable loop codes. The 2310 verifies proper functioning of
Intelligent Line equipment and repeaters using its built-in support to loop-back
network equipment. Technicians can also loop-back DS3 circuit network equip­ment using DS3 FEAC code functionality.
