Frame Relay Testing
Successful frame relay deployment begins with the proven transmission test capability of the FIREBERD 6000.
With the Frame Relay Option, you can easily perform frame relay turn-up and troubleshooting tests over a permanent
virtual circuit (PVC). The Frame Relay Option is compatible with the T1/FT1, 2M/Nx64, DDS, HSSI, V.35, X.21, RS-449,
and most other FIREBERD 6000 interface modules.
The FIREBERD 6000 can test at both the User-to-Network Interface (UNI) and the Network-to-Network Interface
(NNI)—including out-of-service and in-service testing. With the FIREBERD 6000 Frame Relay Option, you can easily
perform a ping test to determine end-to-end PVC connectivity and to measure round trip delay.
Highlights
• Perform lost-frame analysis
• Perform test frame generation (fixed rate and burst modes for emulating specific traffic patterns), while
controlling the status of the FECN, BECN, C/R, and DE bits
• Transmit InARP packets and provide replies to incoming InARP packets
• Transmit ICMP echo (“ping”) packets and provide echo replies to incoming ICMP echo packets
• Perform link management emulation (ANSI T1.617 Annex D, ITU Q.933 Annex A, and LMI)
• Gather PVC status messages and determine PVC state (i.e., active, inactive, new, or deleted)
• Emulate the network side or CPE side of a UNI (unidirectional polling); an NNI frame relay switch, including both
bi-directional polling and full status message interpretation
• Display physical and data link layer results simultaneously
• Collect frame relay statistics on one specific data link connection identifier (DLCI) or on all DLCIs
• Monitor frame relay performance and link management statistics at the UNI and NNI
