The Agilent Technologies E1697A 155 Mb/s Optical Line Interface
generates and analyses ATM cell streams contained within a SONET or SDH
framing format. It is a single-slot VXI module that provides test capability at
the physical and ATM cell layers for the Agilent E4200/E4210 Broadband
Series Test System.
The E1697A is capable of operating in both a cell mode and in a SONET/SDH
frame mode. This allows the user to not only examine ATM cells mapped
into a SONET/SDH frame but also all of the SONET/SDH frame data.
Line interface modules not only connect the device or system under test to
your Broadband Series Test System, but also provide physical,
convergence, and ATM cell testing capabilities.
Transmission test functionality includes:
Traffic generation
Cell error, loss & delay measurements
Traffic capture & playback
Product Features:
Cell based implementation
Operates in both cell mode and
SONET/SDH frame mode
Provides access to ATM cells via parallel
data ports in byte serial fashion
Provides physical layer measurements as
well as error generation
Internal traffic generator has 1
foreground channel and up to 100
background channels
