Handheld module supports 4 Gigabit fibre channel testing

23 January 2008 Test & Measurement

Sunrise Telecom has launched the SunSet MTT-30Z Fibre Channel Module, claiming it to be the first handheld solution to support 1, 2 and 4 Gigabit fibre channel testing with full port login of switch fabric.

This new test set is aimed at service providers provisioning or diagnosing high-performance storage area networks (SAN) in fibre channel, ESCON and FICON.

The MTT-30Z offers a full suite of tests making it suitable for validating the transport FTTx backbone used to supply SAN services. This compact field unit provides traffic generation and measurements to help verify end-to-end transport of fibre channel, ESCON and FICON and to determine throughput and link initialisation.

The unit's F_Port, N_Port and E_Port login with optimal buffer-to-buffer credit management enables technicians to perform Fibre Channel port login of switch fabric and manages buffer-to-buffer credits for tracking the compliance of service level agreements. In addition, BER test, roundtrip delay, bandwidth sweep and RFC2544-like automatic testing ensures quick and accurate measurement and diagnosis of SAN service performance and quality.
