Setting a new GUI standard: unprecedented simplicity in configuration setup and navigation
The FTB-810 NetBlazer’s intelligent situational configuration setup feature guides technicians through complete, accurate testing processes (suggestion prompts, help guides, etc.). It reduces navigation by combining associated testing functions on a single screen.
Dedicated quick-action buttons
- Laser on/off
- Test reset to clear the results and statistics while running a test
- Report generation
- Save or load test configurations
- Quick error injection
Streamlined navigation
- Testing status can be maximized to fill the entire screen by simply clicking on the Alarm Status button; whether the unit is in your hand or across the room, test results can easily be determined with a simple glance at the display screen
- Simplified test structure definition using task-based test application selection, signal configuration front end and smart timeslot selection
- Centralized functions: error/alarm management, performance monitoring and overhead manipulation/monitoring
Assorted notifications
- Optical power status available at all times
- Pass/fail indication at all times
- Pattern and clock synchronization
- Electrical/optical power monitoring with valid-range color indicator (optical interface)
- Frequency offset with valid-range color indicator
- Overhead overwrite indicator
- Error/alarm injection
- Alarm hierarchy pinpointing the root-cause (when possible)
Key features
Simplified BER testing
The FTB-810 NetBlazer series provides the ability to preconfigure bit-error-rate (BER) thresholds that are user-defined prior to running the test. This allows for a simple pass/fail verdict at the conclusion of the test, leaving no room for misinterpretation of the test results.
Decoupled mode
The Decoupled mode enables the user to independently configure the Tx and Rx ports of the FTB-810 NetBlazer module. This is required for testing the mapping and demapping functionality of a network element or at cross-connect points in the network.
Through mode
This mode is required for in-service monitoring of the network. The FTB-810 NetBlazer can be inserted in-line on a specific link, and can then monitor and analyze the errors and alarms on that link while remaining nonintrusive.
Simplified error injection
This FTB-810 feature enables the user to inject errors with a single click, from any screen. This allows technicians to ensure circuit continuity prior to starting a test. Furthermore, the error injection functionality can be preprogrammed for any given type of error, and not just for bit errors.
Complete overhead monitoring
The FTB-810 NetBlazer offers access to the entire set of SONET/SDH overhead (OH) bytes from a single page. Furthermore, by selecting any given OH byte, the user can retrieve additional detailed information about that byte without having to switch pages.
Key ISDN features
The FTB-810/810G lets you test and troubleshoot North American or European ISDN PRI configurations, and offers best-in-class ISDN PRI testing that allows field technicians to call one or all 24 DS1 or 31 E1 PRI channels. Once connected, the user can go to perform a channel-by-channel BER test, or talk and listen via a headset.
Talk? Listen? Inject DTMF?
With one click, field technicians can talk and listen with simplicity—no need for a clumsy butt set. The FTB-1 platform allows the use of a handy, lightweight headset, which can be controlled via software to inject DTMF tones or speaker and microphone levels.
Who’s calling? What type of calls?
As the calls come in or leave the ISDN primary rate interface, the summary results screen shows a crystal-clear analysis with its own unique call monitoring grid. With one glance, users see all call information: types of calls, stats such as idle, voice, 3.1 kHz, ringing, alerts, in error, BER, pass or fail.
Centralized control
As applies to all NetBlazer modules, field technicians have complete control at their fingertips at all times, whether it is a question of phone book, headset activation, DTMF injection, error injection, report generation, or save and load configurations. These utilities are always a finger’s touch away from activation.
