Frame Relay Testing with NetAnalyst
TTC provides a centralized frame relay testing solution by integrating NetAnalyst Test Management Software with
the FIREBERD 6000. NetAnalyst, a component of TTC’s Service Optimization Framework, is a client/server GUI-based
software package that provides remote test solutions to enhance the provisioning and troubleshooting process for service
providers. Combining NetAnalyst with TTC’s industry standard test hardware offers service providers a complete,
centralized test and monitoring solution.
Highlights
• Provides consistent user interface to a variety of TTC hardware
• Supports Automated Scheduled Testing, including the ability to e-mail test results
• Facilitates distributed testing from a network operations center or other location
• Supports custom integration with other operation support system (OSS) software applications
• Improves efficiency by helping to pinpoint problems prior to a field service dispatch
ATM Testing
With the DS1/DS3 Interface Module and 2M/34M Interface Module, you can use your FIREBERD 6000 to test
DS1/DS3 and 2M/34M ATM at the edge of the network and perform end-to-end testing from many edge device inputs that
access the ATM network. This allows you to verify that devices converting non-ATM traffic to ATM traffic are functioning
properly.
Adding the capability to test at the ATM layer, transmission convergence (TC) sublayer, and ATM adaptation layer
(AAL) to its extensive transmission test capabilities, the ATM Interface Module makes the FIREBERD 6000 your tool from
installation to ongoing maintenance. The FIREBERD 6000’s intuitive, menu-driven front panel makes both in-service and
out-of-service ATM testing simple.
Highlights
• Generate constant bit rate (CBR) traffic based on peak cell rate
• Generate variable bit rate (VBR) traffic based on peak cell rate, sustained cell rate, and maximum burst size
• Perform quality of service (QoS) analysis including cell loss ratio, cell error ratio, cell misinsertion rate, cell transit
delay, and cell delay variation
• Obtain statistics at the ATM layer, AAL, TC layer, and physical layer (e.g., total cell count, OAM cell count, AAL CRC
errors, average PDU length, PLCP alarms, PLPC errors, receive frequency, and DS1/DS3 alarms)
• Characterize the latency of your network with round trip delay measurements
• Perform GCRA “leaky bucket” conformance analysis
• Transmit over three VPI/VCIs simultaneously (one primary channel, two background channels)
• Scan and store all active VPI/VCIs on the link
• Generate correctable and uncorrectable HEC Errors
• Generate or monitor OAM cells
