About the T-BERD/MTS 8000, 6000A, and 5800
Before beginning a remote session, you should be familiar with the products and modules,
found in the

Started Manual
.
The following terms have a specific meaning when referring to the T-BERD/MTS 8000 or
6000A:
–
10/100/1000 Ethernet
— Used to represent 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet. The
connector panel also uses 10/100/1000M to identify the connector used for 10/100/
1000 Mbps Ethernet testing.
–
1GigE
— Used to represent 1 Gigabit Ethernet. The Transport Module connector
panel also uses GigE to identify the optical connector used for 1 Gigabit Ethernet
testing.
–
10GigE
— Used to represent 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Transport Module connector
panel also uses
10GE
and
10G
to identify the optical connectors used for
10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN testing.
– Action
— Refers to an item that triggers some change to the test interface, such as
inserting an alarm or enabling the laser. In the user interface, these are located in the
Actions toolbar at the bottom of the main results screen.
–
Application module
— Used to refer to the component that provides test functionality
to the assembled instrument. This manual supports two application modules: the
Transport Module
, and the
MSAM
.
– Assembly
— Used to refer to a complete
set of components
assembled as an instru-
ment and used for testing. This manual supports three assemblies: The
Transport
Module assembly
, consisting of an T-BERD
⁄
MTS 8000 base unit and Transport
Module, the
MSAM assembly
, consisting of a MSAM, Physical Interface Modules
(PIMs), and a T-BERD
⁄
MTS 6000A base unit, and a
DMC assembly
, consisting of
up to two MSAMs, up to four PIMs, a Dual Module Carrier (DMC), and a
T-BERD
⁄
MTS 8000 base unit.
–
Base unit
— The unit which connects to the application module and power adapter,
providing the user interface and a variety of connectivity and work flow tools. If
optioned to do so, the base unit also allows you to measure emitted power, received
power, and optical link loss on fiber optic networks.
–
Battery Module —
The module connected to the back of the T-BERD / MTS 8000
base unit, which supplies power whenever it is not provided using the power adapter.
–
Component
— Used to refer to an individual hardware
component
which is connected
to the other components to build a test instrument (assembly). This manual supports
the following components: the Transport Module, the MSAM, and the DMC. The base
units are documented in separate manuals.
– DMC
— Dual Module Carrier. The DMC is a two slot chassis which you can connect to
the T-BERD / MTS 8000 base unit to test using up to two MSAM application modules
and four Physical Interface Modules (PIMs).
–
FC
— Used to represent Fibre Channel on the Transport Module connector panel and
the Transport Module and MSAM user interface to identify the optical connectors used
for Fibre Channel testing.
