FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE Power Blazer
Next-Generation SONET/SDH Testing
Available next-generation SONET/SDH test functionalities include generic framing procedure (GFP), virtual concatenation (VCAT)
and link-capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS). These options are available when the FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE are housed in the
FTB-500 platform.
SmartMode: Real-Time Signal Structure Discovery and Monitoring
EXFO’s FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE Power Blazer modules support 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 and OTN test signal.
SmartMode automatically discovers the signal structure of the OC-n/STM-n
line including mixed mappings and virtual concatenation (VCAT) members.
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 and
SmartMode specific reporting.
EthErnEt PErforMancE validation and rEliaBility
EXFO’s FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE offer a wide range of Ethernet test
functions designed for performance validation and reliability testing.
Interfaces
These modules support multiple Ethernet interfaces, both electrical and optical.
Applications
The FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE deliver the features required to perform
Ethernet service acceptance testing, namely RFC 2544 and BER testing.
