Auto-discovery of the signal structure

When performing tests in the field, it is sometimes difficult to configure the test equipment as the signal to be analyzed is not always known: is the signal concatenated, what the frame mapping structure is, are the containers of the frame all equipped or partially equipped? In such a situation, configuring the test equipment can be very painful and time consuming.

The “Structure Scan” function of the UTA application brings a smart solution to this type of problem.

“Structure Scan” automatically analyzes the signal and displays its frame structure in a graph for fast and easy interpretation. The “Structure Scan” graph can give a complete overview of the frame down to the tributary and allows the automatic configuration of the UTA application.

Fig.2: Discovering the frame structure of an unknown signal is easy with the “Structure Scan” function. Mix-payloads are also supported.

Field exchangeable XFP/SFP transceivers

The UTA module supports hot pluggable XFP/SFP transceivers. This feature brings a lot of configurability to the module. In the field, the user just has to replace the XFP/SFP by another to change the optical interface characteristics. Whatever the SDH/SONET link or equipment to test, the field engineer has the insurance to be able to equip his UTA module with the right optical interface.
