T1 and FT1 Testing
The T1/FT1 Module enables you to analyze the entire range of T1 and FT1 services regardless of data rates and
formats, with features like level and current measurements, G.821 performance measurements, voice applications, and
jitter generation and measurement. You can perform Nx56 kb/s or Nx64 kb/s bit error rate (BER) analysis without
disrupting live traffic on the remaining channels. The ESF data link far-end Performance Report Message Option lets you
monitor and report on far-end status, as defined by the ANSI T1.403 standard.
Highlights
• Perform comprehensive bit error rate testing (BERT) with the T1/FT1 Module’s full selection of BERT patterns
• Identify circuit troubles quickly with test results such as bit error rate, pattern and timing slips, voltage level,
simplex current, and round-trip transmission delay
• Test frame relay, in-band, out-of-band, and V.54 loopback
• Test unframed, D4, ESF, or SLC-96 ® circuits encoded in AMI or B8ZS format
• Replace a CSU at the customer premises during troubleshooting and installation
• Detect network synchronization problems or improper multiplexer configuration for in-service loop timing, and
verify end-to-end network synchronization (out of service)
• Measure jitter at the rate of 1.544 Mb/s; generate jitter at a single frequency or automatically sweep jitter over
the frequency range
DS3 Testing
The DS3 Module thoroughly tests your 45 Mb/s circuits and equipment and lets you troubleshoot difficult
problems quickly. One FIREBERD 6000 equipped with this module can analyze any T3 format, making the
FIREBERD 6000 an all-in-one test instrument for unframed, M13, or C-bit parity environments. With frame, BPV, and
parity results, you can monitor your network while it’s up and running.
Highlights
• Perform full DS3 BERT
• Insert errors or BPVs at programmable rates or individually, so you can easily analyze the protection switching
recovery time of your DS3 equipment and simulate transmission impairments
• Use one FIREBERD 6000 to transmit and decode FEAC bit sequences (including alarm conditions and
loopbacks), and perform bit error analysis
