ATTACHMENT NO. 1
PAGE1
Verifying that networks and components comply with recommendations, standards, and specifications
from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU), and Telcordia Technologies.
Verifying that networks and components from different sources, whether industry or the Laboratory
itself, operate correctly together.
Evaluating how Laboratory and industrial hardware responds to network signals with various structures and payloads and with optional errors and alarms, and analyzing such signals generated by network hardware.
To support this work, the Laboratory requires a digital communications network tester system.
2. SCOPE
This procurement is for a digital communications network tester system capable of testing OTN, SONET,
and SDH networks at speeds up to 10.7 Gb/s. The system must be able to generate and analyze jitter and
wander and must have optical and electrical interfaces.
3. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The contractor shall provide a digital communications network tester system that meets or exceeds the
desired specifications described below.
3.1. Performance Specifications
SONET/SDH
Generate and analyze SONET/SDH signals with bit rates of 9953, 2488, 622, 155, and 52 Mb/s.
Generate and analyze PRBS 215 1, PRBS 223 1, PRBS 231 1, and 16-bit user word test patterns.
Insert bit, B1, B2, B3, FAS, BIP, and REI errors.
Detect and report user-selectable SONET/SDH errors and alarms with 0.1 ms resolution. The selectable errors and alarms must include payload errors plus SEF/OOF, LOF, AIS, RDI, FAS, B1,
B2, B3, and REI.
OTN
Generate and analyze OTU-1 and OTU-2 signals with bit rates of 10709 and 2666 Mb/s.
Generate the following client signals: SONET/SDH, PRBS 223 1, PRBS 231 1, and 16-bit user
word.
Insert correctable FEC errors (up to and including the maximum number of correctable errors),
uncorrectable FEC errors, and FEC errors at a user-specified position in the frame.
Analyze OTU-1 and OTU-2 signals, both with and without applying FEC.
Generate jitter and wander at 10709, 9953, 2666, 2488, 622, and 155 Mb/s in compliance with
ITU-T Recommendations O.172 and O.173.
Analyze jitter and wander at 10709, 9953, 2666, 2488, 622, and 155 Mb/s in compliance with
ITU-T Recommendations O.172 and O.173 and with error no greater than 20 mUIpp.
For jitter, measure phase hits, jitter transfer function (JTF), and maximum tolerable jitter (MTJ).
For wander, measure time interval error (TIE), maximum time interval error (MTIE), and time
deviation (TDEV).
Optical:
The receiver(s) must accept wavelengths from 1260 to 1360 nm and from 1430 to 1580 nm.
The system must include adapters sufficient to connect all ports to FC, SC, and LC optical connectors.
Electrical: The system must have single-ended and differential electrical interfaces for both transmit
and receive covering 51 Mb/s to 10.7 Gb/s.
Local control: The system must have a built-in user interface for local control.
Remote control: The system must have either an Ethernet or GPIB interface (or both) over which it
may be controlled by a remote computer.
Size: The volume must not exceed 80 000 cm3. Neither the height, width, nor depth shall exceed 0.75
m.
The system must be supplied with either a case or cover(s) for transportation.
Power: The system must accept 110 to 220 V at 50 to 60 Hz and dissipate 750 VA maximum.
4. SOFTWARE
The system must be supplied with all driver or user interface software and licenses which are either necessary to allow remote control or customarily provided to the public in a commercial transaction.
5. DOCUMENTATION
The system must be supplied with hardware and software user manuals as well as any other documentation customarily provided to the public in a commercial transaction.
6. WARRANTY
The contractor shall provide a standard commercial warranty for the system.
