1 TestPoint Broadband Test Solutions TS-30 and TS-170 Version A flexible and cost effective telecom and datacom test solution for manufacturing, and research & development environments. A modular platform providing versatility in configuring interface types, transmission rates, protocols, and port density.

2 TestPoint TS-30 TS-170 Broadband Test Solutions The TestPoint system supports a wealth of test configurations for transport and datacom applications. To address the challenges of next-generation networks, TestPoint provides test functions that include traffic loading, impairment injection, error reporting, information capture, and performance characterization. Transport protocol coverage includes SONET/SDH, Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) for Ethernet over SONET/SDH, and Optical Transport Network (G.709). In addition, TestPoint provides datacom capabilities for 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Generic Framing Procedure (GFP), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). TestPoint's scalable, field upgradable design can adapt to new technologies as they emerge. The TestPoint specializes in providing detailed lower layer test functions. provides additional clocking functions such as BITS/SSU (T1/E1) and external clock inputs. TestPoint supports clock rate variations. An embedded Java GUI eliminates the need for dedicated computer based software applications. This has the added benefit of ensuring compatibility with most computer platforms. All TestPoint modules support automation and scripting capabilities, using any programming language such as Python or TCL, based on a Command Line Interface (CLI). TestPoint offers two scalable chassis configurations: the TS- 170, and the TS-30. The TS-170 is a 17-slot system well suited for manufacturing needs. The TS-30 consists of a 3-slot chassis suitable for bench top, rackmount, and mobile applications. Both chassis support module hot insertion to keep downtime to a minimum, and mount into standard 19- inch (47.5cm) rack systems. All TestPoint modules are equipped with a 10/100 Ethernet port to perform test system management. The optional Group Controller module provides a single point of access into a shelf when multiple modules are present. Each test module comprises on-board clocking functions including a local oscillator and loop timing. The Group Controller module - 1 -

3 System The TestPoint system has the following attributes: Test system management is performed using a PC over a 10/100BaseT link. The PC can be physically connected directly to any module or to a Group Controller, which can control multiple modules concurrently. Multiple users can access TestPoint through the Group Controller module. The application software resides on each module. The GUI interface uses a web browser and a Java plug-in. Navigation is performed via a tree based menu. A serial interface is available into each module. The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be accessed via the serial interface or via a Telnet session over a 10/100BaseT link. The CLI is text based. Commands are organized in a treebased directory structure. Automation is performed via the CLI. It may be performed over a telnet session, socket connection, or RS-232 serial control. All modules are equipped with a disk-on-chip where software loads, configuration files, and test logs are saved and retrieved. FTP access is available. An automation tool helps to perform software upgrades, which can be accomplished remotely. An event browser captures test results on each module based on time-of-day or test elapsed time. The time-of-day is configurable on each module. The group controller module can perform concurrent test management on multiple modules.

When running 10GbE WAN, the SONET/SDH functions are provided. Supports terminal, monitor (non-intrusive), and logical loopback mode. The logical loopback mode may switch MAC and IPv4 addresses at the far end in order to perform round-trip latency testing. 10 Gigabit Ethernet is based on IEEE 802.3ae Traffic Settings Send mode: Continuous and burst mode. In burst mode, the user sets the number of frames to be sent. MAC Header settings: User definable fields include destination/source MAC addresses which can be fixed or incrementing over a range, type/length (802.3 or type II), an optional 4-byte

10 TestPoint VLAN (802.1Q) tag, LLC/SNAP (802.3), and optionally an IPv4 header with checksum autocalculation. Scrambler: On/off Frame size: Fixed, incrementing, decrementing, random, and sequencing modes. Size range starts from 19 bytes up to bytes with setable step size for incrementing, decrementing. Random range is between 64 and Sequencing provides 8 sequences sent in succession where each is assigned a size and number of frames. Transmission rate: Bandwidth (in % or Mbps) for fixed frame sizes or number of Inter Frame Gap (IFG) bytes. The number of idle frames between traffic frames can be fixed, random, or a sequence. Random is bounded by minimum and maximum. IFG Range is 8 to IFG bytes (deficit idle count is +/-3 bytes). For sequences, up to 8 are sent in succession where each is assigned a number of IFG bytes and preceding number of frames. Protocol Enables: Traffic is sent either directly over the PCS sublayer (no MAC), over MAC, or over IPv4 with or without LLC/SNAP (802.3). Payload fill: PRBS or ; invert or no invert; or a user programmable 16-byte sequence Signature: Field provided for latency and sequencing measurements. For latency, there is a Bit forwarding or Store and forward setting. Statistics stop delay: Delay, up to 2sec, to continue collecting statistics following test stop for frame loss testing. Default is 0.5 sec. MAC max frame size: User adjustable threshold in bytes. Frames of sizes between 1518 (1522 with VLAN) and less or equal to this threshold are classified as jumbo. Frames of sizes greater than this threshold and are classified as frames too long.

RFC 2544 Test Suite This is an automated test suite for throughput, latency, frame loss, and back-to-back frame measurements. The user may choose to assign parameters other than the defaults for the list of frame sizes, number of iterations, iteration duration, result tolerance, number of trials. The test suite logs results to file and provides graphics. Frames are generated and received on the same port.

12 TestPoint Provide per slot test status (major, minor, history indicators) Clear test status function (LED indicators, counts or both) Module reset GLOBAL TEST FUNCTIONS The Group Controller module performs the following global test functions on the test modules it controls. These functions may also be performed individually on each module. They include: Group Controller Module This single slot module is optional and connects into slot 0. It performs two main functions. The first is to provide a single point of test system management access when the TestPoint chassis contains multiple test modules. Individual modules can be LAN connected directly on the module faceplate or via the Group Controller. The second function is to provide additional clocking capabilities beyond those available on individual test modules. Each test module may use its on-board clock functions or the advanced clock functions provided by the Group Controller via the TestPoint backplane. Test start and stop Test pause/ resume for SONET/SDH/OTN Test elapsed time indication Save and restore test configuration Event logging on user interface and save to file SPECIFICATIONS Internal Clock: +/- 1 ppm upon shipment, +/- 4.6 ppm over 20 years External Clock Input: 2 KHz, 4 KHz, 8 KHz, MHz, 6.48 MHz, 10.0 MHz, MHz, MHz, MHz, MHz, MHz, MHz.
