In CONTROL mode, the test set MODE: RESPOND will be responsible for sending IP ADDRS: 0 .0 .0 .0 loop up/loop down commands to a remote test set configured as a responder. In RESPOND mode, press MANUAL RESPOND CONTROL START START (F4), and the test set will scan incoming traffic for a loop Figure 10 Loopback Conup command. As soon as a guration Screens loop up command is received, the test set will switch to loopback mode. It will loop back all incoming traffic on PORT 1. The incoming traffic will be looped as follows: If Layer 1 loop up command is received, the test set will retransmit the incoming frames without modifying them. If Layer 2 loop up command is received, the test set will retransmit the incoming frames and swap the source and destination MAC address elds. If Layer 3 loop up command is received, the test set will retransmit the incoming frames and swap the source and destination MAC and IP address fields. The responder will remain in loopback mode until it receives a
22 Ethernet Module

loop down frame. Notes There is no standard looping command for Ethernet; the test set uses Sunrise Telecom proprietary loop up and loop down frames. Layer 2 and Layer 3 loopback mechanism will loop all incoming unicast trafc and discard multicast and broadcast trafc. The Layer 3 loopback mechanism will only discard multicast and broadcast traffic based on Layer 2 addresses. It will not discard IP multicast and broadcast packets. Use caution when using loopback mode because network equipment may not allow the loopback of unicast frames. Use SHIFT and the numeric keypad to enter numbers. If available, use <- (F2) and -> (F3) to move the cursor. All three conguration screens shown in Figure 10 contain: MODE Options: MANUAL (F1), RESPOND (F2), CONTROL (F3) Select the loopback operating mode. Note: When MODE is being congured, the test set will loose the connection between itself and the Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch momentarily. Once the connection is restored, and the SIGNAL and FRAME LEDs are green, allow enough time (45 seconds) for the switch to learn the MAC address of the loopback test set before it can respond to a loop up command and start looping back traffic. MANUAL: Press START (F4) and the test set will immediately start looping the incoming trafc on PORT 1. RESPOND: Press START (F4) and the test set will act as a responder. At this point, WAITING, MAC ADDRS and IP ADDRS (Address) are displayed, and the test set waits for a loop up command frame. Once a loop up frame is received, LOOPBACK TEST IN PROGRESS DO NOT DISTURB and IP ADDRS are displayed. The test set will then loopback trafc as was previously described in the paragraph starting with Configured as a responder. The test set will continue to loopback traffic until a loop down command frame is received, or ESC is pressed on the test set. CONTROL: Press START (F4) and the test set acts as a controller. Once the MODE is set, the following items may be congured: IP ADDRS (MANUAL and RESPOND MODE only)
SSMTT-28 23

Enter the source IP address of the test set. COMMAND (CONTROL MODE only) Options: LOOP-UP (F1), LOOP-DN (F2) Select the type of frame to send after pressing START (F4). LOOP-UP: Send a loop up command to a remote responder (test set). LOOP-DN: Send a loop down command to a remote responder (test set). FORMAT (MANUAL and CONTROL MODES only) Options: LAYER 1 (F1), LAYER 2 (F2), LAYER 3 (F3) If MODE is set to MANUAL, the FORMAT setting determines how the test set will loop back the incoming traffic. Note: The loop up and loop down commands must have valid MAC and IP addresses for the far end unit in order to reach it successfully. If MODE is set to CONTROL, the FORMAT setting determines the format of the loop up and loop down commands. If Layer 1 is selected, the test set can transmit a Layer 1 loop up or loop down command to a remote test set congured as a responder. Upon receiving the Layer 1 loop up command, the remote test set will retransmit unmodied incoming frames. If Layer 2 is selected, the test set can transmit a Layer 2 loop up or loop down command to a remote test set congured as a responder. Upon receiving the Layer 2 loop up command, the remote test set will retransmit the incoming frames and swap the source and destination MAC address elds. If Layer 3 is selected, the test set can transmit a Layer 3 loop up or loop down command to a remote test set congured as a responder. Upon receiving the Layer 3 loop up command, the remote test set will retransmit the incoming frames and swap the source and destination MAC and IP address fields. Note: Layer 3 loopback can only be used in a network where the source and destination IP addresses are located in the same network (direct routing). It cant function through a gateway.

The following items appear when MODE is set to CONTROL and FORMAT is set to LAYER 2 or LAYER 3: MAC SRC Enter the local MAC address (hardware address) of the test set, or press DEFAULT (F1) and the test set will use a unique default MAC address based on its serial number of the chassis.

CJPAT: Compliant Jitter Test Pattern is used for jitter measurements. It is intended to expose a receivers CDR (Clock and Data Recovery circuit) to large instantaneous phase jumps. The pattern alternates repeating low transition density patterns with repeating high transition density patterns. CRPAT: Compliant Random Test Pattern is intended to provide broad spectral content and minimal peaking that can be used for the measurement of jitter at either a component or system level. CSPAT: Compliant Supply Noise Pattern creates the worst case power supply noise introduced by the transceiver. Notes CJPAT, CRPAT and CSPAT are available, if Layer 1 test is selected and require a xed frame length of 1504, 1492, or 2048 bytes respectively. CONST traffic shaping at 100% is supported for the CJPAT, CRPAT and CSPAT test patterns. FRAME LENGTH Press EDIT (F3) or SHIFT, and use the numeric keypad to enter a value. You can also use < | (F1) or | > (F2) to step through permissible values. The frame length range is 641522 bytes, in 1 byte steps. Jumbo frame range is 152212,000 bytes, in 1 byte steps (depending on VLAN setting). The default value is 64. When VLAN is enabled, the minimum default value is 68 or 72 bytes, depending on the VLAN setting. TRAFFIC SHAPING Options: CONST (F1), RAMP (F2), BURST (F3), EDIT (F4) CONST: Constant traffic means that the traffic is transmitted at a constant rate (from 0100% Bandwidth with steps of 0.01%) for the entire duration of the test. RAMP: The traffic is transmitted at a variable rate from START BANDWIDTH (between 0100%) to STOP BANDWIDTH (between 0100%), with increments of STEP (between 1100%). The ramp is repeated for the duration of the test. BURST: The traffic is transmitted at a variable rate. The traffic will be transmitted at BANDWIDTH #1 rate (from 0100%) for DURATION #1 seconds, then at BANDWIDTH #2 rate (from 0100%) for DURATION #2 seconds. This sequence is repeated for the duration of the test. EDIT: Press to access the parameters for CONST, RAMP, and BURST as shown in Figures 1618.

Ethernet Module

The loopback feature is particularly useful when running a dual ended test. Use Loopback mode to control the tests (BERT/ Throughput, Roundtrip delay, and Bandwidth sweep measurements) from one test set (test set 2), while having the remote test set (test set 1) looping back the test frames.

P1 port

Network

Test Set 1 is setup for manual loopback or as a responder.

Test Set 2 is setup to transmit and receive.

Figure 78 Loopback Mode There are two possible configurations for the loopback feature: Manual Mode: In this mode the test set will loopback all incoming frames as soon as this mode is selected. Controller/Responder Mode: In this mode, a test set setup as a controller will send a loop up command to a test set setup as a responder. The responder will then start looping all incoming frames. The responder will continue doing this until a loop down frame is received from the controller. Note: There is no standard looping code for Ethernet. The test set uses Sunrise Telecom proprietary loop up and loop down
SSMTT-28 101

frames. Hence this setup requires Sunrise equipment at both ends of the circuit. In manual or controller/responder mode, the test set will adapt the loopback mechanism to your network configuration as follows: If your network configuration is similar to the one depicted in Figure 75, the loopback should be configured for Layer 1. In this conguration the looped test set will retransmit the incoming frames with out modifying them. If your network configuration is similar to the one depicted in Figure 76, the loopback should be configured for Layer 2. In this conguration the looped test set will retransmit the incoming frames and swap the source and destination MAC address elds. Notes: Layer 2 and Layer 3 loopback mechanism will loop all incoming unicast trafc and discard multicast and broadcast trafc. Use caution when using loopback mode because some network equipment may not allow the loopback of some unicast frames. 3.5 Monitor Mode 1. Monitor mode can be used in Pass Through mode. In this mode,

4.1 Ethernet Overview IEEE 802.2 LLC IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Figure 80 Ethernet Overview Ethernet is a major networking protocol. Of all current networking protocols, Ethernet provides the greatest cost performance relative to Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), and ATM for desktop connectivity. The term, Ethernet, refers to IEEE 802.3. Ethernet using twistedpair cables has two standards, they are: 10 Mbps Ethernet (10BaseT) 100 Mbps Ethernet (100BaseT) Ethernet devices support half-duplex operation where data is not simultaneously received and transmitted. The CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) protocol is used so that two stations can share a half-duplex environment. Carrier Sense: Each station continuously listens for trafc. Multiple Access: Stations may be transmitting anytime they detect the network is quiet. Collision Detect: If two stations begin transmitting at the same time, they are able to detect a collision has occurred before they nish transmitting the frame. The stations stop transmitting as soon as they detect collisions and wait for a quasi-random length of time (back-off) before they start retransmitting. Most Ethernet devices also support full-duplex operation where data can be simultaneously transmitted and received. In this case the link bandwidth is doubled because each device supports full rate simultaneous two-way transmission. 4.1.1 Ethernet Frame Format

5 8 bytes 6 bytes 6 bytes 2 bytes 46-1500 bytes 4 bytes

Preamble + SFD Destination MAC address Source MAC address Type/Length Data CRC

Figure 81 Ethernet Frame Format The following items are shown in Figure 81: Preamble Field + SFD (Start Frame Delimiter): 8 bytes are used for synchronization. Preamble eld is a 7 octets eld used to begin a frame transmission, the SFD eld is a 1 byte sequence that follows the preamble and indicates the start of a frame. The next two elds, Destination MAC Address and Source MAC Address, share a similar denition. The difference between the two is that the: Destination MAC Address is the Ethernet address of the destination host, Source MAC Address is the Ethernet address of the source host. They both contain 6 bytes and each frame contains two address elds, the destination address eld and the source address eld. The destination address eld species the device for which the frame is intended. A destination address of all 1 bits (FF-FF-FFFF-FF-FF) refers to all stations on the LAN and is called a broadcast address. The source address eld species the station from which the frame originated. On a network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address or Ethernet address is the hardware address of a network device. It is uniquely assigned by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). The rst three bytes contain a manufacture code, the last three bytes contain a unique station ID. Manufacturer IDs are globally assigned (administered) by the IEEE. The MAC address is a data link layer address, not to be confused with the network layer address (protocol address: e.g. IP address). Type/Length: If the value of this 2 byte field is less than or equal to 1500, then the Type/Length eld indicates the number of bytes in the subsequent MAC Data field. If the value of this eld is greater than or equal to 1536, then the Length/Type eld indicates the nature of the MAC client protocol (protocol type e.g. IP, ARP, RARP, etc). Data: This (46-1500 byte) eld contains the data transferred from the source station to the destination station or stations.
106 Ethernet Module

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check): This 4 byte error checking field checks the integrity of the bits in the frame to make sure that the frame has arrived intact. The 4-octet cyclic redundancy check value is computed as a function of the contents of the source address, destination address, length, and data elds. 4.1.1.1 Frame Rate The Frame Rate (FR) is the number of Frames per second (Fps). FR is determined by the following formulas: bps rate FR = FL x 8 + IPG + Preamble + SFD The maximum FR per IEEE standard for Fast Ethernet (100BaseT): FR = ~ 100,000,000 ~ = 148,809 Fps 68 x 8 + 96 + 56 + 8

For Ethernet (10BaseT): ~ 10,000,000 ~ = 14,880 Fps 68 x 8 + 96 + 56 + 8 The following is found in the FR formulas: FR = bps: The bits per second rate is the transmit clock frequency. The maximum clock frequency of 100,000,000 bps corresponds to 100 % Bandwidth for 100BaseT (10,000,000 bps for 10BaseT). FL: Frame Length from 64 Bytes to 1518 Bytes. IPG: Inter Packet Gap is the time delay between successive frames. Ethernet devices must allow a minimum idle period between transmission of frames known as the IPG. It provides a brief recovery time between frames to allow devices to prepare for reception of the next frame. The minimum interframe gap is 96 bit times, which is 0.96 microseconds for fast Ethernet (100BaseT) and 9.6 microseconds for Ethernet (10BaseT). Preamble: This 56 bit eld begins a frame transmission. SFD: Start of Frame Delimiter (8 bits) is the sequence, 10101011, that immediately follows the preamble and indicates the start of a frame. 4.1.1.2 Frame Interval Measurement The Frame Interval or Inter-arrival time measurement between incoming test frames is based on the reception of each frames EOF (End of Frame). Therefore the typical values shown in Table 5 are values of typical inter-arrival time between frames based on the following calculation:
SSMTT-28 107

The total number of bytes (or bits) between the EOF of one frame to the EOF of the next frame divided by the line rate. For example if the frame size is 64 bytes then the expected inter-arrival time between constant-arriving frames transmitted at 100Mbps is:
EOF 64 Bytes SOF and Preamble IPG EOF 64 Bytes SOF and Preamble Receive

64 + SOF + Preamble + IPG = 84 Bytes Total number of bits/100Mbps = frame inter-arrival (in microseconds) (64 bytes + 201 bytes)(8) = 672 total number of bits 672/100Mbps = 6.72 frame inter-arrival (in microseconds) This value is the expected arrival time between frames that are constantly being transmitted/received at 100 Mbps. This value should be very similar to the AVG value in the Frame Interval measurement for an ideal case network test. 1 This corresponds to the 12 bytes of IPG + 8 bytes of SOF + Preamble

Figure 82 Frame Interval The following are typical measurements: Frame Interval MIN: Minimum value throughout the elapsed time of the test. Frame Interval MAX: Maximum value throughout the elapsed time of the test. Frame Interval AVG: Average value throughout the elapsed time of the test. Frame Interval Var: Maximum variation value throughout the elapsed time of the test (MAX-MIN). Note: The Frame Interval measurement is only done on test traffic that matches the test conguration settings on the test set.

ing potential transmission problems. This section reviews proper handling procedures for optical ber. SC Connector Bulkhead Adaptor Alignment Sleeve Key FC Connector Barrel Key

Ferrule Figure 83 Optical Connectors and Adapters 4.2.1 Fiber Optic Patch Cord Basics Fiber optic patch cords come in two categories: Single-mode, which are yellow and Multi-mode, which are orange. The terms single-mode and multi-mode describe physical transmission mechanisms of the ber and do not refer to the quality of the ber. Single-mode and multi-mode transmission equipment are not usually interconnected. Multi-mode is used for shorter transmission distance and in general is less expensive than single-mode. For testing and analysis purposes, single-mode and multi-mode may be mixed. Considering the fact that an optical ber is a strand of glass about the same diameter as a human hair, ber optic patch cords and connectors are remarkably durable. However, careful handling will ensure continued high performance and long life. Do not pull or kink patch cords, as the glass strand in the middle might become damaged or broken. Even if the ber is not permanently damaged, a sharp bend will cause excessive signal loss. Fiber optic cables work by bending the light signal as it travels. But, the light can only tolerate so much bending. Keep patch cord bend radii to no less than an inch. Use specialized optical cable raceways and plenums whenever available. Never use tie wraps as you would with electrical cables. 4.2.2 Fiber Optic Connectors

Alignment Sleeve

Ferrule of Connector B

Ferrule of Connector A Alignment Sleeve Fiber End Faces Touch Fiber Figure 84 Cross-Sectional View of Connectors In the electrical world, female connectors are mated to male connectors. In the optical world, the connection mechanism is altogether different. Fiber optic connector systems are designed to align two ber ends so that the light signal will pass between them; imagine trying to align two hairs end to end. Modern ber optic connector systems solve this nearly impossible task. There are several types of optical connectors in use today. Figure 83 shows the two most popular, SC and FC. In this example, an SC to FC bulkhead adapter is used to connect the two fibers together. In Figure 84, a schematic of the connector cross section demonstrates the details of the connection mechanism. Ceramic ferrules on the connector ends are kept in alignment by a sleeve in the connector bulkhead adapter. The fiber itself is mounted in the exact center of the ferrule. When the ferrules are aligned by the sleeve, so are the bers. Springs in the connector bodies provide consistent pressure so that the two connector end faces are assured to be in contact with each other. Since all tolerances must be kept extremely tight, it is amazing that the typical connector signal loss is usually less than a couple tenths of a dB. When using optical connectors, insert or remove the ferrule straight into the sleeve. Try to minimize wiggling the connector as this may loosen the tight t between the ferrule and sleeve. For SC connectors, orient the prominent key on the connector body (Figure 83) with the slot in the bulkhead adapter. Push the connector until it clicks. To remove, pinch the connector body between your thumb and nger, and gently pull straight out. FC connectors require more care. Find the small key and orient it with the equally small slot in the threaded section of the bulkhead adapter. Even in Figure 83, this key is not very visible. Thread the outer barrel only lightly nger tight. Never use pliers! Over tightening the barrel will not improve signal transmission and could cause permanent damage. To remove, unthread the barrel, and gently pull straight out. Most problems with FC connectors are due to key misalignment.
110 Ethernet Module

This is difficult to detect since even when the key is misaligned, the barrel can be threaded, which then hides the misaligned key. A hint is when the barrel only catches the rst one or two threads. Also, the connector will not be completely seated in the bulkhead adapter. 4.2.3 Cleaning Optical Fiber and Connectors Fiber optic connectors must be kept clean to ensure long life and to minimize transmission loss at the connection point. When not in use, always replace dust covers and caps to prevent deposits and lms from airborne particles. A single dust particle caught between two connectors will cause signicant signal loss. Even worse, dust particles can scratch the polished ber end, resulting in permanent damage. Do not touch the connector end or the ferrules, since this will leave an oily deposit from your fingers. Likewise, do not allow uncapped connectors to drop on the oor. Should a ber connector become dirty or exhibit high loss, carefully clean the entire ferrule and end face. Special lint-free pads should be used with isopropyl alcohol. Even though not very accessible, the end face in a bulkhead adapter on test equipment can be cleaned by using a special lint-free swab, again with isopropyl alcohol. In extreme cases, test equipment may require more thorough cleaning at the factory. Cotton, paper, or solvents should never be used for cleaning since they may leave behind particles or residues. Use a ber optic cleaning kit especially made for cleaning optical connectors, and follow the directions. Some kits come with canned air to blow any dust out of the bulkhead adapters. Be cautious, as canned air can do more harm than good if not used properly. Again, follow the directions that come with the kit. 4.2.4 Eye Safety It is good safety practice to never look directly into the end of a fiber or bulkhead adapter. You may be working with equipment that transmits at high power and are not eye-safe. For added safety, turn the laser off when not in use. In any case, the wavelengths used in telecommunications are not visible, so the presence of an optical signal cannot be determined by looking into the fiber end. Summary Take care of your fiber. Always replace dust covers. Keep optical connectors clean and make a practice of not looking into fiber ends.
