Acternaﾒs 2510 10-Gig Field Services Module is an all-in-one, integrated testing solution that helps translate rapid network deployment and service reliability into profitability. Designed specifically for field use, the rugged 2510 performs 10-Gig testing at OC-192/OC-192c and STM-64/STM-64c rates. It provides the flexibility, scalability, and upgradability to accommodate evolving testing needs while providing long-term protection for your test equipment investment.

Function Highlights

• Test optical interfaces at OC-192/OC-192c and STM-64/STM-64c rates.
• Perform mapping analysis for both SONET and SDH tributaries: OC-192c and STS-48c/12c/3c/1 and STM-64c and STM/16c/4c/1/0.
• Transmit and receive 10-Gig signals at either 1310 nm or 1550 nm.
• Manipulate K1 and K2 byte values to verify proper protection switching.
• Configure and monitor tests using remote control commands.

Features

The 2510 meets the ever-changing needs of todayﾒs transmission test workforce with powerful features that provide streamlined, reliable functionality across all applications. Because technicians can use this equipment with minimal training, testing objectives are addressed more quickly and costs of ownership are significantly reduced. Key features include:

• Application-Driven Iconsﾗtest application buttons are labeled with icons which clearly depict the way the test is performed on the circuit (e.g., circuit termination tests are labeled "TERM"). The icons and quick set-up buttons enable technicians to use the 2510 effectively, with very little training.
• Configurable Results (Quad Resultsﾙ)ﾗthe 2510 streamlines the process of correlating results and quickly assesses network performance. Technicians can analyze selected results simultaneously in up to four windows.
• Physical and Laser Active LEDsﾗa bright array of physical LEDs on the front panel summarizes results and clearly identifies errors detected during a test. Laser Active LEDs indicate when the transmit laser is active and when laser pulses are received.
• Through Mode Capabilityﾗgain access to SONET/SDH circuits even when no test access is provided. Through mode capability at 10-Gig for advanced SONET/SDH testing monitors circuits by channeling network traffic through the 2510 module.
• Signal Power and Frequency Verificationﾗ ensure optical power and frequency measurements received are within acceptable error limits.
• VT100 Terminal Emulationﾗperform VT100 terminal emulation to connect to network elements in order to execute configurations and monitor available statistics.

Applications

The 2510ﾒs easy-to-use interface streamlines the process of analyzing SONET/SDH network performance. It supports numerous mappings, which enable testing and verification of individual payloads inside a 10-Gig signal. Technicians can manipulate K1 and K2 bytes to test automatic protection switching, and they can use the 2510ﾒs support for user-configurable path trace messages to name and identify trace messages and payloads. The built-in attenuator connects to either the transmitted or received signal, so tests can be performed without saturating the networkﾒs or the 2510ﾒs optical receiver.

Commission SONET/SDH Rings and Point-to-Point Links
Manufacturers installing 10-Gig SONET/SDH rings must ensure proper network operation before the customer will accept the network elements. The 2510 tests the ADM transmitted and received signals and its response to errors, alarms, and protection switching. In addition, the 2510 tests lower rate tributaries running within the OC-192/STM-64 down to the STS-0/VC-3 level, verifying the proper mapping of these tributaries within the ring.

Qualify 10-Gig Signals over DWDM Networks
When DWDM networks are deployed, wavelengths carrying a 10-Gig SONET/SDH link must be qualified for carrying traffic. Turn up channels by using the 2510 to terminate test patterns over each wavelength via a BER test.

Verify End-to-End Network Performance
In the future, OC-768/STM-256 networks will be deployed to carry traffic along capacity-starved routes. The 2510 provisions the OC-192c/STM-64c tributaries within to ensure the connectivity and quality of the service. Optical power measurements, BER testing, pointer justification measurements, and path trace identifiers ensure proper ADM mapping and tributary line card operation for error-free transmission.

Perform Network Analysis under Simulated Abnormal Conditions
Generate and analyze a comprehensive range of errors and alarms to simulate abnormal conditions. SONET errors include Bit, Section BIP, Line BIP, Path BIP, Line FEBE, Path FEBE, and Frame word. SONET alarms include Line AIS, Line RDI, Path AIS, Path LOP, and Path RDI. SDH errors include Bit, B1, B2, B3, MS RDI, HP RDI, and FAS word. SDH alarms include MS AIS, MS RDI, AU-4 AIS, AU-4 RDI, and AU-4 LOP.

Conduct In-Service Monitoring of OC-192/STM-64 Signals
The 2510ﾒs Monitor/Through mode allows visibility into the SONET/SDH signal while it carries revenuegenerating customer traffic. Troubleshoot and sectionalize network problems by analyzing the overhead and payloadﾗwithout incurring downtime.
