EtherBERT Test Setup and Results
100
FTB-860/880
Unidirectional EtherBERT testing is performed whereby the test stream is
transmitted from the local module to a remote device in loopback, and the
test stream is received back and locally analyzed. The results are reported
at the local end.
Bidirectional EtherBERT testing is composed of two independent units
where traffic transmitted from one end will be analyzed at the other end.
Test synchronization between 2 units is performed on a best-effort basis.
Any alarms/errors due to incorrect synchronization can be cleared while
the test is running. The test results for each direction are reported only at
the receive end. There is no exchange of results between test units. The
local and remote modules can be either an NetBlazer, FTB-8510B,
FTB-8510G, FTB-8525/35, FTB-8120NGE/30NGE, AXS-8xx, and
RTU-310/310G.
