Advanced SONET/SDH Access and Metro
Testing
EXFO’s FTB-8115 Transport Blazer test module combines advanced DSn/PDH and SONET/SDH test functions in a single unit,
eliminating the need for multiple, purpose-built test platforms for the commissioning or troubleshooting of T1/E1 to OC-48/STM-
16 circuits. The extensive list of DSn, SONET, PDH and SDH features available on the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer allows users to
perform a wide range of tests from simple bit-error-rate (BER) analysis to more advanced network characterization and troubleshooting.
These functions include:
Mixed and bulk payload generation
and analysis from 64 kbit/s
to 2.5 Gbit/s
High-order mappings:
STS-1/3c/12c/48c and
AU-3/AU-4/AU-4-4c/16c
Low-order mappings: VT1.5/2/6,
TU-11/12/2/3
Section, line, high-order (HO) and
low-order (LO) path overhead
manipulation and monitoring
Section, line, high-order and low-
order path alarm/error generation
and monitoring
High-order and low-order pointer

SmartMode: Real-Time Signal Structure
Discovery and Monitoring
EXFO’s FTB-8115 Transport Blazer supports a unique feature called
SmartMode. This provides users with full visibility of all high-order (STS/AU)
and low-order (VT/TU) mixed mappings within the incoming SONET/SDH
test signal.
SmartMode automatically discovers the signal structure of the OC-n/STM-n
line, including mixed mappings. In addition to this in-depth multichannel
visibility, SmartMode performs real-time monitoring of all discovered high-
order paths and user selected low-order paths simultaneously, providing
users with the industry’s most powerful SONET/SDH multichannel monitoring
and troubleshooting solution. Real-time monitoring allows users to easily
isolate network faults, saving valuable time and minimizing service disruption.
SmartMode also provides one-touch test case start, allowing users to quickly
configure a desired test path.
Housed in the FTB-500 or FTB-200 platform, the FTB-8115 module
enables field circuit turn-up and troubleshooting.
