JDSU Ethernet test set
— A test set marketed by JDSU and designed to transmit an
Acterna Test Packet (ATP) payload. These packets carry a time stamp used to calcu-
late a variety of test results. The FST-2802 TestPad, the SmartClass Ethernet tester,
the HST with an Ethernet SIM, the T-BERD/MTS 8000 Transport Module, and the
T-BERD/MTS 6000A MSAM can all be configured to transmit and analyze ATP
payloads, and can be used in end-to-end and loopback configurations during testing.

MSAM Multiple Services Application Module
— Referred to generically as “the
instrument” when inserted in the T-BERD / MTS 6000A base unit or the DMC with a
PIM. The MSAM provides testing functionality for the base unit.

T-BERD/MTS 8000 and T-BERT 6000A.
–
OC-n
— Used to refer to each of the optical SONET rates supported by the Transport
Module or MSAM (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192), where
“n”
represents the
user-selected line rate.
–
OTN
— Optical Transport Network.
–
OTU1
— Optical Transport Unit 1. A 2.7G OTN signal designed to carry a SONET OC-
48 or SDH STM-16 client signal. OTU1 is used on the connector panel and the
Transport Module and MSAM user interfaces to identify the connectors and applica-
tions used for 2.7G OTN testing.
–
OTU2
— Optical Transport Unit 2. A 10.7G, 11.05G, or 11.1G OTN signal designed to
carry SONET OC-192, SDH STM-64, or 10GigE Ethernet WAN and LAN client signals.
OTU2 is used on the <product name> connector panel and the Transport Module and
MSAM user interfaces to identify the connectors and applications used for 10.7G,
11.05G, or 11.1G OTN testing.
–
PIM
—
The physical interface module (PIM) inserted into one of up to two ports
provided on the MSAM chassis. PIMs supply the physical connectors (interfaces)
required to connect the MSAM to the circuit under test. A variety of cables, SFPs, and
XFPs are offered as options, and can used to connect the PIMs to the circuit.
– Result
— Refers to a measurement made by the test application. In the user interface,
these are displayed in the result windows and in the software LED panel on the main
Results screan.
–
Setup
— Refers to a setting of a test application that is usually changable by the user.
In the user interface, they are located on the Setup screen and on the main Result
screen in the horizontal toolbars.
–
SFP
— Small form-factor pluggable module. Used on the connector panel and
throughout this manual to represent pluggable optical modules.
– Slice
— Used as a generic term for an applicaiton module or battery module. Typical
use is referring to the Transport Module, as the “BERT slice”. After assembling a T-
BERD/MTS 8000 base unit to a battery module and then to the Transport Module, the
instrument resembles a sandwich; thus, the indivicual components are slices.
–
STM-n
— Used to refer to each of the optical SDH rates supported by the Transport
Module or MSAM (STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64), where
“n”
represents the
user-selected line rate.
–
STS-1
— Used to refer to the electrical equivalent of OC-1 (51.84 Mbps) supported by
the Transport Module or MSAM.
–
STM-1e
— Used to refer to the electrical equivalent of STM-1 (155.52 Mbps)
supported by the Transport Module or MSAM.
