The AX/4000 IP Gigabit Ethernet SFP Interface allows
users to connect their mAX or mAX-IP test module to a
Gigabit Ethernet for Layer 3 IP testing.
AX/4000 Installation
The interface plugs into the mating connectors on the
mAX or mAX-IP test module. Two screws firmly attach the
faceplate to the front of the AX/4000 Mainframe or XLP
Portable Chassis. The test module supplies power to the
port interface.
LED Indicators
The faceplate has eight LED indicators. Refer to the faceplate
photo for a description of each LED.
Software Control
The port interface may be controlled via the AX/4000
System Software running on a Microsoft Windows-based
PC or a Sun Solaris-based workstation. Users can also
control the interface using the AX/4000 Tcl/C Function
Library Software package. See the other side of this sheet
for a list of software-controlled interface functions.
Setup
The interface’s operation mode determines the data path
for AX/4000 generated and analyzed traffic. In Normal
Mode the AX/4000 generates outgoing traffic to the
transmit port and analyzes incoming traffic from the
receive port. In Line Monitor Mode the port analyzes
incoming traffic and transmits the same traffic back out
through the transmit connector with no modifications. In
Diagnostic Loopback Mode the interface provides an
internal transmit-to-receive loopback path to analyze
AX/4000 generated traffic without requiring an external
loopback cable.
Operation
The Gigabit Ethernet SFP Interface module supports 19
interface-specific counters such as transmitted and
received broadcast and unicast frames. The full interfacespecific
counter set is detailed in the Indicators and
Statistics section of the data sheet. A different set of statistics
is also maintained by the mAX and mAX-IP test
module.
Ready
LED indicates that the
test module is
programmed and
ready to operate.
Error Inject
This LED is illuminated
when an error is
inserted into the
transmitted data.
GPS 1PPS Link
This LED indicates the
link is synchronized.
TX Active
This LED is on when the
interface is actively
transmitting a frame.
SFP Connector
Removable module is
compliant with SFP
Committee standards.
Frame Out
This LED is illuminated
when the generator is
generating frames.
RX Active
This LED is on when a
frame is received.
RX Signal
LED is illuminated
when a receive signal
is present.
TX On
This LED is illuminated
when the test module’s
transmit function is
activated.
Users can examine several software indicators to easily
monitor the status and operation of the module without
having to physically see the module’s LEDs. Indicators are
provided for Link Sync, Link Status, Loss of Signal,
Autonegotiation and Remote Fault.
