Atec Equipment

The ST2400A is the first
STM-16/OC-48 test product
optimized for testing
2.488 Gbit/s Dense Wave-
length Division Multiplexed
(DWDM) client systems. Its
compact size, flexibility of
configuration, choice of oper-
ating modes, unique I/O fea-
tures, extensive software
driver support, and range of
error and defect inject capa-
bilities make it particularly
effective for DWDM system
test during production and
installation. It can also be
used in non-DWDM SDH and
SONET test applications.
The ST2400A is payload-
independent; external
SDH/SONET 155 Mbit/s
optical and electrical and
622 Mbit/s optical signals are
supported in add/drop mode.
The ST2400A can be ordered
as an ST2400A Transceiver,
as an ST2400R Receiver, or
as an ST2400T Transmitter to
meet a wide range of applica-
tion needs economically.

The ST2400A Transceiver
version can transmit and
receive STM-16/OC-48 sig-
nals. The ST2400A has the
ability to receive, generate
and modify an STM-16c/
OC-48c signal. The transmit-
ter section can internally gen-
erate a 2.4 Gb/s signal or
multiplex the higher-rate sig-
nal from STM-1 or STM-4
(OC-3 or OC-12) signal
inputs. The ST2400A can
also accept a STM-16/OC-48
signal in through mode and
regenerate it. The receiver
section receives an STM-
16/OC-48 signal, demulti-
plexes it, and can drop out
either the STM-1 or STM-4
(OC-3 or OC-12) signal as
required.
The Transmitter version can
generate and transmit the
STM-16/OC-48 signal from
an internal source, or multi-
plex the higher-rate signal
from either STM-1 or STM-4
(OC-3 or OC-12) signal
inputs. In the case of STM-4c
and STM-16c (OC-12c or
