Frame Relay Testing Successful frame relay deployment begins with the proven transmission test capability of the FIREBERD 6000. With the Frame Relay Option, you can easily perform frame relay turn-up and troubleshooting tests over a permanent virtual circuit (PVC). The Frame Relay Option is compatible with the T1/FT1, 2M/Nx64, DDS, HSSI, V.35, X.21, RS-449, and most other FIREBERD 6000 interface modules.
Frame Relay Testing with NetAnalyst TTC provides a centralized frame relay testing solution by integrating NetAnalyst Test Management Software with the FIREBERD 6000. NetAnalyst, a component of TTC’s Service Optimization Framework, is a client/server GUI-based software package that provides remote test solutions to enhance the provisioning and troubleshooting process for service providers.
T1 and FT1 Testing The T1/FT1 Module enables you to analyze the entire range of T1 and FT1 services regardless of data rates and formats, with features like level and current measurements, G.821 performance measurements, voice applications, and jitter generation and measurement. You can perform Nx56 kb/s or Nx64 kb/s bit error rate (BER) analysis without disrupting live traffic on the remaining channels.
2M and Nx64 Testing Keep your E1 (2M) network running smoothly with features like complete G.821 performance analysis, automatic histograms, delay and timing measurements, signal analysis, and jitter testing. When equipped with the 2M/Nx64 Module, the FIREBERD 6000 offers complete G.821 bit error analysis, with more than 60 test results that enable full correlation between errors and their specific causes.
High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) Testing The growth in popularity of fractional T3 and E3 frame relay service, especially among Internet service providers (ISPs), many CSU/DSUs are now providing a HSSI interface to the customer, providing access to these high-speed links. In addition, both switch and router manufacturers are providing HSSI access, to allow customers to seamlessly access these fractional T3 and E3 links.
DDS Testing For testing at a D4 channel bank, the DDS DS0A/B Module enables the FIREBERD 6000 to analyze DDS subrate circuits, with DS0A, DS0B, and clear channel compatibility for all data rates. The module provides complete loopback support, which allows a DDS circuit to be completely sectionalized in either direction using alternating and latching loopbacks.
IEEE-488.2 Remote Control Option The FIREBERD IEEE-488.2 Remote Control Option gives you the ability to control your FIREBERD 6000 via computer for automated testing. Ideal for the manufacturing environment, the option lets you control as many as 15 devices with a single controller. LabVIEW® Drivers LabVIEW® drivers available free from National Instruments® Corporation enable you to communicate with your FIREBERD 6000 through the IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface.
