VIAVI FIREBERD 8000 Communications Analyser (TTC)

Take testing to the next level with a single platform for new and legacy requirements

The FIREBERD 8000 combines the success of two highly successful test platforms - the FIREBERD 6000A and the TestPad. As a datacom analysis module for the TestPad, the portable, battery-powered FIREBERD 8000 completes a winning combination in size, flexibility, and test capability.

Highlights

• Easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) maximizes navigation ability and test efficiency.
• Native datacom interfaces for EIA-530, RS-449 (422 and 423), RS-232, X.21, V.35, and V.36 serial interfaces.
• Government standards support for MIL-188C and MIL-188-114.
• Field-friendly interface module slot supports conditioned diphase module and expandability to new technologies.
• Synchronous/asynchronous and DTE/DCE modes of operation.
• A full suite of BER patterns with data rate support up to 18 Mbps.

Applications

• Verify end-to-end connectivity - Isolate problems to a specific direction by analyzing the performance of an entire digital link in both directions.
• Timing analysis - Detect timing problems stemming from propagation delay or incorrectly timed network elements.
• DTE and DCE emulation - Test head-to-head with a variety of synchronous and asynchronous datacom network elements.
• Quality of Service (QoS) Testing - Standardize test metrics with a variety of results measurements, including Round Trip Delay, G.821, and Pattern Slips analysis.

Key Features

• Internal, recovered, and external clock capability.
• Clock recovery option enables clock recovery from receive data lead.
• Virtual breakout box provides a visual representation of activity on data, clock, and signal leads.
• Remote operation and results storage.
• Normal, inverted, or auto clock edge selections.
• In-band and out-of-band flow control.
