<strong>Test</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Optical</strong> <strong>Grooming</strong> <strong>Switches</strong><br />
The transmission test sets also automatically monitor the line signal and all STS/AU channels<br />
(up to 192) <strong>for</strong> errors, alarms and pointer activity. Channels carrying revenue-generating<br />
services are identified, as are path routing errors within the network.<br />
The J2127A supports all line rates up to 10 Gb/s (OC-192/STM-64), and the smaller J2126A<br />
supports all line rates up to 2.5 Gb/s (OC-48/STM-16). Both products support 1310 nm and<br />
1550 nm wavelengths at 2.5 and 10 Gb/s optical rates and provide a range of features as<br />
standard such as dual-standard SONET/SDH testing, DSn/PDH electrical rates, electrical<br />
pulse mask, service disruption measurement, per<strong>for</strong>mance analysis measurements and active<br />
Thru' mode.<br />

<strong>Test</strong> Entry Criteria<br />
<strong>Test</strong>ing of an individual vendor’s optical grooming switches will commence when all of the<br />
following criteria have been met.<br />
1. Vendor and BT have both signed evaluation agreement (Attached as Appendix A)<br />
2. Vendor provides to BTexact Technologies full build in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding the test network including versions<br />
of all hardware and software.<br />
3. Vendor provides full equipment documentation to BTexact Technologies 4 weeks prior to start of testing.<br />
4. Vendor has successfully installed and commissioned the required test network in BTexact Technologies’<br />
laboratories at Adastral Park including the network management system. The required test network is<br />
defined in a later section of this document.<br />
5. Vendor states in writing to BTexact Technologies that installation and commissioning of the test network is<br />
successfully completed. Any issues arising found by BT exact Technologies during testing will there<strong>for</strong>e be a<br />
consequence of equipment functionality and not poor installation and commissioning.<br />
6. Vendor provides BTexact Technologies with a list of test cases, which the vendor knows will fail because<br />
functionality is not currently supported.<br />
7. Vendor provides to BTexact a named, single point of contact to deal with all technical and project<br />
management issues, who will be present at Adastral Park throughout the 10 day BTexact testing period, to<br />
provide technical support when requested by BTexact. This person will also provide daily summaries to<br />
BTexact of status of installation and commissioning.<br />
