Terminology
T-BERD/MTS 5800 Getting Started Manual
xv
– STM-n — Used to refer to each of the optical SDH rates
supported by the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800M (STM-1, STM-4,
STM-16, and STM-64), where “n” represents the
user-selected line rate.
– STS-1 — Used to refer to the electrical equivalent of
OC-1 (51.84 Mbps) supported by the T-BERD ⁄ MTS
5800.
– STM-1e — Used to refer to the electrical equivalent of
STM-1 (155.52 Mbps) supported by the T-BERD ⁄ MTS
5800.
– 10/100/1000 Ethernet — Used to represent 10/100/
1000 Mbps Ethernet. The connector panel also uses 10/
100/1000 to identify the connector used for 10/100/
1000 Mbps Ethernet testing.
– 1GigE — Used to represent 1 Gigabit Ethernet.
– 10GigE — Used to represent 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
– JDSU Ethernet test set — A test set marketed by JDSU
and designed to transmit an Acterna Test Packet (ATP)
payload. These packets carry a time stamp used to calcu-
late a variety of test results. The T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800,
FST-2802 TestPad, the SmartClass Ethernet tester, the
HST with an Ethernet SIM, the T-BERD/MTS 8000 Trans-
port Module, and the T-BERD/MTS 6000A MSAM can all
be configured to transmit and analyze ATP payloads, and
can be used in end-to-end and loopback configurations
during testing.
