VersaMux-4000 Operation & Installation Guide
Part No. 24001157
Revision C
Connection
Read Write
This parameter specifies the interface that the BERT connects to.
Note: When the BERT is applied to a port, the port data will be
interrupted on the aggregate. All other ports not connected to the
BERT shall be unaffected. The aggregate data from the port
connected to the BERT shall be set to the IDLE condition.
The
Connection
options are:
Disabled
- This option disables the VersaMux-4000 BERT.
Aggr-Spare-BW
- This option enables BERT traffic on the spare
bandwidth of the aggregate.
Aggr-Full-BW
- This option enables BERT traffic on the entire
bandwidth of the aggregate.
Port-1 -
This option enables BERT traffic on Port-1.
Port-2
- This option enables BERT traffic on Port-2.
Port-3
- This option enables BERT traffic on Port-3.
Port-4
- This option enables BERT traffic on Port-4.
Pattern
Read Write
This parameter specifies the traffic pattern used by the BERT. The
Pattern
options are:
511
- The BERT generates a 2
9
-1 (511) pseudorandom pattern.
2047
- The BERT generates a 2
11
-1 (2047) pseudorandom pattern.
2^15-1
- The BERT generates a 2
15-1
(32,767) pseudorandom
pattern.
2^20-1
- The BERT generates a 2
20-1
(1,048,575) pseudorandom
pattern.
2^23-1
- The BERT generates a 2
23-1
(8,338,607) pseudorandom
pattern.
Test-Length
Read Write
This parameter specifies the length of the BERT test (i.e. how many
bits of traffic are used). The
Test-Length
options are:
1E6
- The BERT test length is 10
6
(1,000,000) bits.
1E7
- The BERT test length is 10
7
(10,000,000) bits.
1E8
- The BERT test length is 10
8
(100,000,000) bits.
1E9
- The BERT test length is 10
9
(1,000,000,000) bits.
Err-Insert
Read Write
This parameter specifies the number of errors inserted on the
interface defined by the
Connection
parameter.
The
Err-Insert
options are:
Off
- This option disables error insertion by the VersaMux-4000 BERT.
Single
- When selected, this option inserts a single error.
1.0E-3
- Inserts a 10
-3
bit error pattern (one error bit every 1,000).
