The MP1570A is a versatile analyzer that can be used in the R&D, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and inspection of SONET, SDH, PDH, and ATM chipsets, systems and networks. Its plug-in or modular card architecture supports flexible configuration options for various applications. Concatenated payloads can be generated to simulate live traffic from OC-3c/STM-1c to OC-192c/STM-64c.
Besides the standard testing features for all test solutions, the MP1570A also offers a host of new advanced features—CID pattern, No frame pattern, Mixed payload, as well as different types of powerful through-mode functions, which make it a powerful tool for R&D and manufacturing.
New options such as: "Packet over SONET/SDH" (POS) and "IP over ATM" (IPOA) are now available in the MP1570A making it more powerful than before. When equipped with the POS option, real time counting of PPP (point to point protocol) packets in SONET or SDH frames can be performed. IP packet data editing, programming, PPP packet to packet interval setting, and transmission of PPP packets with FCS (frame check sequence) error are all possible with the POS option. And with the IPOA option, much faster analysis can be performed as ATM/AAL5 errors and alarms can be measured in real time.
The MP1570A functional design minimizes setup time and reduces costs by eliminating the need for multiple test instruments. The analyzer has a built in printer and 3.5 inch floppy disk drive as standard. Smaller in size, portable, and yet supporting all rates from 1.5 Mbps to 10 Gbps in a single mainframe, the MP1570A1 lets you test any rate without changing any plug-ins. With support for all three mappings - SONET, SDH, and Japanese (384k) - the MP1570A can be used anywhere in the world.
