JDSU expands T-BERD/MTS platform

14 October 2009 Test & Measurement

JDSU has added new features to its T-BERD/MTS-6000A platform. This is a small all-in-one solution for testing Ethernet over SONET/SDH using one module and one graphical user interface (GUI) for all interfaces up to 10G.

The T-BERD/MTS-6000A GUI guides users directly to the network layer that is causing trouble, without the need for them to be an expert in every layer. This enables network architects, engineers and technicians to quickly identify and resolve the source of the network quality issues. The module also offers standard SONET, SDH test capabilities (including overheard analysis, round-trip delay testing and service disruption testing with multiple different triggers) and provides the flexibility to set up and analyse Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) structures as well as verify the correct transformation of synchronous Ethernet frames into synchronous SONET/SDH containers using GFP encapsulation. Within the same module and GUI, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A performs Ethernet/IP tests such as traffic generation and analysis, delay measurements, pocket jitter analysis and ICMP pings. Alarm, error insertion and analysis capabilities at all layers stress-test the network and verify correct reporting in network management.

This is a compact, lightweight test platform designed for all phases of fibre and transport network installation and maintenance. Modular in design, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A offers an extensive portfolio of test functionality for multiple network layers. The Multi-Services Application Module provides an integrated solution for testing multiple technologies including Ethernet, PDH, SONET/SDH, Optical transport Network (OTN), Fibre Channel and now EoS. Optical Modules allow thorough testing of short-haul, long-haul, FTTx, CWDM and high-speed transport networks.
