VePAL TX130M+ DSn/PDH and ethernet test set

The VePAL TX130M+ is a full-featured mobile backhaul test solution supporting legacy PDH/DSn, carrier ethernet technologies and synchronised packet networks. The unit is capable of emulating both master and slave clocks according to ITU-T G.8261 SyncE and IEEE 1588v2 standards.

Technicians need only carry one small portable unit to the field to validate transmission over copper and optical fibre connections including all the sophisticated functions of new synchronisation technologies.

Ethernet features include: supports 10/100/1000Base-T Copper Ethernet interface; supports 1000Base-X and 100FX Optical Ethernet interface; supports BERT, throughput, loopback, RFC2544.

SyncE/IEEE 1588v2 features include: fully integrated solution for synchronised packet networks; supports IEEE 1588v2/PTP and SyncE/ITU-T G.8261 standards; master clock and slave clock emulation; IEEE 1588v2/PTP protocol monitoring and decoding; IEEE 1588v2/PTP PDV analysis; clock recovery and translation from SyncE or IEEE 1588v2/PTP to E1 or DS1 port; wander measurement of SyncE clock; dual PDH/DSn and ethernet testing with synchronised clocking.

PDH/DSn features include: supports DS1, DS3, E1, E2 and E3 bit rates; dual Rx BERT on DS1, DS3 and E1 ports; full rate DS1, E1 and fractional Nx56 Kbps or Nx64 Kbps; non-intrusive Pulse Mask Analysis; bit error and performance analysis per ITU/Bellcore standards; histogram and event analysis for errors and alarms; ISDN PRI (ANSI and ETSI) call set-up and analysis; jitter measurement; wander measurement on E1 and SyncE recovered clock; transmit frequency offset to stress clock recovery circuits.
