Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test To Connect to the System Under Test 1 Before you connect to the system under test (SUT), ensure that • the analyzer is connected to the controlling computer (workstation or notebook PC) • two interface pods are inserted in the analyzer, one of which may be a blank pod 2 Connect the interface pod(s) to the SUT. Each interface pod has a transmit and receive connector on its front panel that you use to connect to the SUT.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test There are three system connection options: • • • intrusive non-intrusive diagnostic Intrusive System Connection 2 Using the Analyzer When you install or remove an intrusive system connection, it affects the traffic on the link to which the analyzer is connected. Either you need to take the link offline to make the connection, or you need to interrupt traffic.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test Port 1 Port 2 Tx Rx Equipment under test The network element connection is an out-of-service test, that is, the system is not live. Use this connection to check things such as • • • • protocol transfer and conversion connection verification quality of service parameters policing mechanisms Configure the affected port(s) for full duplex for the network element connection.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test A typical application for this type of test connection is testing the integrity of the system under test. The remote loopback test connection is similar to the network element test connection in its uses. However, while the network element connection tests a single element at a time, the remote loopback connection tests all network elements in the loop. Use this connection to monitor, capture, and transmit traffic.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test Port 1 Port 2 Tx Rx Tx Rx Equipment under test When using an in-line test connection, configure the affected port(s) for a full duplex, regenerator, or loopthrough interface configuration (according to the type of interface pod installed). The disadvantage of the in-line test connection is that you need to break the link to install and remove the connection.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test Passive Test Connection Some ATM switches have dedicated test access ports. All traffic from the switch is transmitted through both the regular port and the dedicated test port. Connecting the analyzer to the dedicated test port is completely non-intrusive. This type of connection never interferes with live traffic, even during set up.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test Port 1 Tx Rx Port 2 T-piece Tx Rx Equipment under test When using a non intrusive, T-piece connection, the interface configuration of the analyzer is not important. The analyzer’s default configuration is full duplex. Diagnostic System Connection A diagnostic connection does not affect the traffic on the link to which the analyzer is connected. Use this connection when you want to test the analyzer.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test Transmit Loopback Test Connection Port 1 Port 2 Tx Rx Equipment under test 2 Using the Analyzer Transmit loopback is both an interface configuration option and a test connection. Transmitted data is directed both out of the transmit connector and internally (within the interface pod) to the measurement system. The analyzer ignores external connections to the receive connector.
Using the Analyzer To Connect to the System Under Test Port 1 Port 2 Port 1 Port 2 You can perform this test using either a single port with a single interface, or across two ports using two interfaces of the same line rate and configuration. For example, you can make an external loopback connection across two ports, between two OC-3/STM-1 interfaces. Use the external loopback connection to monitor, capture, and transmit traffic.
