1. General Description of NuBAR-1000

NuBAR-1000 is an innovative compact network test equipment in the market that constructs several pioneering features that make on-site cabling and analysis for network construction easy and efficient.
Network cabling for a new building or office is often done by third party contractors. The technical personnel may not care about the real throughput and most of contractor only do the simple test by network cable tester to make sure that cable are well arranged and connected. However, problems always happen when the MIS start to deploy the network equipment inside the office. They may find that the cables are either unable to reach the Wirespeed transmission or lots of error packets are received during data transmission.
NuBAR-1000 is an ideal Ethernet tester for testing and troubleshooting potential problems of data transmission and bandwidth in the field. NuBAR-1000 works by pair with roles of Lord and Servant. Without extra standby personnel at the other test site, two NuBAR-1000 negotiate with each other automatically, start bi-directional symmetric / asymmetric Wirespeed transmission, synchronize the test result and store result at Lord NuBAR-1000.
For installation of asymmetric transmission network such as ADSL that downstream speed is much faster than upstream speed, it is difficult to test the network by general loopback method that data transmission speeds between two sides must be the same. Unique Asymmetric Loop Test of NuBAR-1000 is able to do customized speeds asymmetric transmission test that can verify the transmission quality of ADSL for ISP or Telecom Company. With this affordable price and excellent functions for network probe and test on-site, NuBAR-1000 is comprehensive solution for data transmission test in cable wiring phase or troubleshooting phase in the field.

3.1.2 ID Rotary Switch

There are two 16 scales ID Rotary Switch for mapping of Lord and Servant
NuBAR-1000 with the same ID, which the two ID rotary switches are identical the same,
works as a pair (Lord and Servant)
If the mapping duration exceeds 20 seconds without successful connection, the connection
procedure is suspended.
Set it to "0", means Lord accepts any reply from Servant if NuBAR-1000 is in Lord mode. Set it to "0", means Servant replies any request from Lord if NuBAR-1000 is in Servant mode. Unless switching the rotary switch for a pair of NuBAR-1000 to different ID, the pair of
NuBAR-1000 keeps working together even though there is a new added NuBAR-1000 with the same ID exists in the same network.
Lord and Servant works as pair that is based on MAC address. One NuBAR-1000 uses 2

3.1.3 Test Time Rotary Switch

There are two 16 scales Test Time Rotary Switch for configuration of duration for each test.
It is for the configuration of test duration each time. Duration in seconds is configured in 2 hex mode rotary switches. 16 scales rotary switch: 0~9, A = 10, B = 11. C = 12, D = 13, E=14, F=15 User can calculate the result from Windows calculator (Start Programs Accessories Calculator). For example, 12 seconds Input 12 in Decimal mode
Then click Hexadecimal, then the answer is C. Rotate the switch to "0" "C" for duration of 12 seconds

Tx Test
Run / Stop
When user clicks Start / Run button to start the test, the NuBAR-1000 stops automatically for a moment later, owing to the test duration configured here. If test duration is configured, wait result until the test is done. Press Stop button to stop the test immediately will cause a fail test.
If it is configured to "0", the test keeps going continually, unless user press Stop button to stop the test.

3.2 Button for Operation

There are 3 buttons for the operation of NuBAR-1000. When configuration via rotary switch is done, press these buttons to operate the function for the test.

3.2.1 Run / Stop button

Press it to start the procedure configured in Rotary Function Switch. The procedure will stop automatically, owing to the internal settings of the procedure or the duration configured at Rotary Test Duration Switch. Force to stop the procedure by pressing it again. For most of test procedures, they will stop automatically. Force to stop these tests probably cause failed result.

4. Procedure of Operation

This chapter tells user how to use NuBAR-1000 in your test site.

4.1 Hardware Connection

4.1.1 For Self-Test

Before the real test, operator can connect the two devices directly by network cable (Cat. 5e or above is suggested) for functional check.

4.1.2 For Single DUT

Without high cost desktop test equipment, the compact size NuBAR-1000 is able to do Ethernet network test easily.
The test streams run through the two ports that join the test. If there are more than two port that need to join the test simultaneously, other advanced model can fit user's requirement. Please contact with distributor of Xtramus.

4.1.3 For Cable Wiring

To wiring a network cable in office or building, NuBAR-1000 is convenient for data transmission test. Do this test to insure the transmission quality for real environment. To test the cable inside the building, connect two sides of the cable to a pair of NuBAR-1000. If the test is passed, it also performs well in real condition by real network device.
21
XTRAMUS TECHNOLOGIES®

B

4.1.4 For Network Infrastructure

To test the transmission quality between two network locations that is connected by multiple network equipments such as Ethernet Switches, Network Server, connect two ends of the network device to a pair of NuBAR-1000. The figure below illustrates the transmission test between location A and B. Note: NuBAR-1000 is test equipment of layer 2 packet. Devices that can not forward layer 2 (MAC based) packet are not suitable for the test. Network such as Internet runs layer 3 protocols is not suitable for the test. It is applicable for ADSL test for cable wiring business. The connection between CO (central office) and the CPE (ADSL modem) apply layer 2 Ethernet.

4.1.5 For Mesh Network

As the rotary function switch introduced above, NuBAR-1000 is able to do mesh connection test. Lord sends test packets to the 1st Servant, then the 1st Servant forward packets to 2nd Servant. Repeat the procedure until the packets returns to Lord finally. The application below applies to six locations of network infrastructure.

4.1.6 For Loopback Test

The Loopback test for NuBAR-1000 can be divided into 2 kinds. One is the loopback test by a pair of NuBAR-1000 and the other is loopback test with other network device (packet generator).

Work with other network device (packet generator)

4.1.7 For Broadcast Test

There is no test result for broadcast test. Operator can install other network analyzer to monitor or count the broadcast packets for test purpose.

4.2 Test Procedure

4.2.1 Configure the Function Mode

Select function mode To use the NuBAR-1000, select the test mode what you need. Please refer to 3.1.1 Rotary

The default ID of NuBAR-1000 is "00". , means Lord accepts any reply from Servant if NuBAR-1000 is in Lord mode and Servant replies any request from Lord if NuBAR-1000 is in Servant mode. Rotate two ID rotary switches to other value, such as "01" for two NuBAR-1000.

4.2.2 Start the Test Procedure

Power ON both Lord and Servant NuBAR-1000 from power switch.
Note: To fit the compact size of the NuBAR-1000, the power switch is tiny. To prevent damage of this switch, please slide the switch carefully or push it via the attached ceramic screwdriver.

5.1 Installation of Driver

To active the USB connection, install driver for NuBAR-1000 series is required The procedure below shows the installation of driver
1. Power On the machine
2. Connect USB cable to both PC and mini-USB port of NuBAR-1000
3. Windows will prompt you that new USB device is found and it needs driver. Manual select the driver location at the folder ..\NuBAR-1000 driver which operator gets it from Xtramus. Follow the instruction of Windows to finish the installation.

6.3 Restriction of Operation

NuBAR-1000 is not designed for network products mass production line. It is a network debugging/troubleshooting device for network wiring or deployment.
Using NuBAR-1000 for a long period of time will cause its aluminum case extremely hot, and might cause hardware malfunctions and burning sensations for the users.
It is recommaned not to use NuBAR-1000 for more than 4 hours under room temperature, especially when it is operatinig in Wirespeed transmitting/receiving.
