Synchronized Packet Network and Mobile Backhaul Testing – Mobile operators confronted with the explosive growth of
data-centric services driven by 3G and LTE Smartphone applications, are urgently upgrading and migrating traditional TDM backhaul
networks to Ethernet/IP packet-based technologies. The TX130M+ tester equipped with a hybrid of interfaces and applications is perfectly
equipped to test both PDH/DSn and IP transport over copper and fiber backhaul connections across the Radio Access Network (RAN).

and other access protocols is possible.
Jitter Measurements
Data integrity in plesiochronous networks depends largely on the phase stability of clock and data signals, therefore excessive jitter can
cause network outages. Because BER testing is the common method to diagnose network problems in the field, results often mislead
the technician because only the effect of a problem and not the actual cause is reported. Ultimately, this makes fault identification more
difficult, time consuming, and expensive.
The jitter software option of the TX130M+ uses advanced digital measurement techniques for measuring intrinsic jitter, allowing technicians
to easily determine when jitter is the source of errors.
Jitter Metrics
Output jitter performance mandated by ITU-T and Telcordia
standards is evaluated by measuring the recovered clock of
the incoming signal (DS1, DS3, E1, E3) traversing the network.
Smart Loopbacks
Four modes are available for looping back test traffic. At Layer 1,
all incoming traffic is looped back unaltered. For Layer 2, all
incoming unicast traffic is looped back with the MAC source and
destination addresses swapped. For Layer 3, all incoming unicast
traffic is looped back with the MAC and IP source and destination
addresses swapped, and for Layer 4, all incoming unicast traffic
is looped back with the MAC, IP, and UDP/TCP ports swapped.
MPLS Measurements
Multiple Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a technology that
allows for a more efficient routing of Ethernet/IP packets via the
use of MPLS routers in the network. MPLS labels reside between
the MAC (Layer 2) and IP layers (Layer 3). Up to three MPLS tags
can be configured in the traffic stream with user configurable
Label, CoS, and TTL fields.
