EXFO's FTB8115 Transport Blazer test module combines advanced DSn/PDH and SONET/SDH test functions in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple, purpose-built test platforms for the commissioning or troubleshooting of T1/E1 to OC-48/STM-16 circuits. The extensive list of DSn, SONET, PDH and SDH features available on the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer allows users to perform a wide range of tests from simple bit-error-rate (BER) analysis to more advanced network characterization and troubleshooting. These functions include:
Mixed and bulk payload generation and analysis from 64 kbit/s to 2.5 Gbit/s
High-order mappings: STS-1/3c/12c/48c and AU-3/AU-4/AU-4-4c/16c
Low-order mappings: VT1.5/2/6, TU-11/12/2/3
Section, line, high-order (HO) and low-order (LO) path overhead manipulation and monitoring
Section, line, high-order and low-order path alarm/error generation and monitoring
High-order and low-order pointer generation and monitoring
Performance monitoring: G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, M.2100, M.2101
