How to Configure the RTU-300/320/600

 

Testing with the RTU (Remote Test Unit) 

 

Introduction 

The  RTU-300/320/600  is  a  rack  mounted  1G-100G  Ethernet  test  head  for  performance  testing  and  monitoring 
Carrier Ethernet and broadband networks. The main application of the RTU-300/320/600 is to be used under the 
VeSion

  performance  testing  and  monitoring  platform,  where  several  RTU-300/320/600  can  be  added  and 

operated for service provisioning, service activation testing, and service assurance applications.  
 
Optionally the RTU-300/320/600 can be operated as a stand alone test device through VNC/web remote access. In 
this  standalone  mode,  users  have  access  to  other  interfaces  and  features  that  are  available  such  as  OTN, 
SONET/SDH, and Fibre Channel. 
 

64K-100GE

 test rates are supported on the same module. These factory-installed hardware options allow flexibility 

to fit any additional application at a later time. For example, the addition of a second RTU-320 or RTU-600 module  
can be installed concurrently on the same test platform.   
 
RTU-320 Test Ports: 
2 x SFP+ for Ethernet, OTN & SONET/SDH 
2 x RJ45 for Ethernet 
2 x BNC for E1/DS3 
1 x RJ45 for E1/DS1 
1 x SMA for Clock Source 
 
RTU-600 Test Ports: 
1 x QSFP28 for 100GE and OTU4  
1 x QSFP+ for 40GE, OTU3  
1 x External Clock Interface 

 

Space efficient 1U rackmount with built-in, dual power switching matrix ensures continuous operation if the main 
power supply fails.
