FTB-8115
SONET/SDH Test Module
Multiplatform Support and Versatility
The FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module is supported and interchangeable on the
FTB-500 Platform or the FTB-200 Compact Platform. This cross-platform support
provides users with added fl exibility by enabling them to select the appropriate
platform that suits their testing needs. EXFO is the fi rst and only test solution
provider to offer this versatility, delivering single to multi-application test solutions
with the same hardware module, which in turn dramatically reduces capital
expenditures.
Inserted in the FTB-200 Compact Platform, the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module
delivers SONET/SDH test functions in a small, lightweight platform, ideal for fi eld
technicians’ installation and commissioning needs. When combined with the
FTB-200’s optional integrated high-precision power meter, visual fault locator and
fi ber scope, this solution provides all the critical test tools required for day-to-day
activities, eliminating the need to carry and manage multiple test sets.
Unsurpassed Confi guration
and Operational Flexibility
Using the FTB-500 platform provides users with an all-in-one solution
supporting a mix of SONET/SDH/OTN, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and
optical-layer test modules, making it the industry’s fi rst truly integrated
network testing platform. This modularity enables users to upgrade their
systems in the fi eld according to their testing needs. This multiservice test
platform is the ideal solution for fi eld, central offi ce and lab applications.
Remote Management
Through the optical Visual Guardian Lite™ management software,
the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module allows users to perform remote
testing and data analysis, as well as remote monitoring via standard
Ethernet or remote dial-up connections.
Automated Test Scripting
When confi gured for the FTB-500 platforms, the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer
comes with a built-in macrorecorder, allowing users to easily record their test
actions and automatically create test scripts. This also allows them to build
standard test routines that can be easily accessed and run by fi eld technicians with
little or no manual intervention.
Test logger and Reporting
EXFO’s FTB-8115 Transport Blazer module supports a detailed test logger
and test reporting tools, enabling users to view any errors/alarms that occurred
during the test interval, which can then be used for post-processing of results or
SLA conformance validation.
The FTB-8115 module is supported in the FTB-200 and
FTB-500 platforms.
With its modular, multislot design, the FTB-500 platform enables
users to confi gure and upgrade their systems in the fi eld according
to their testing needs, minimizing capital expenditures.
