SmartMode: Real-Time Signal Structure Discovery
and Monitoring
The Transport Blazer supports a unique feature called SmartMode, which
automatically discovers the signal structure of the OC-n/STM-n line
including mixed mappings and virtual concatenation (VCAT) members. In
addition to this in-depth multichannel visibility, SmartMode performs
real-time monitoring of all discovered high-order paths and user selected
low-order paths simultaneously, providing users with the industry’s most
powerful SONET/SDH multichannel monitoring and troubleshooting
solution. SmartMode is not supported on the FTB-8140.
Multiplatform Support and Versatility
The FTB-8105/15/20/30 modules share a unique architecture that allows
them to be supported and interchangeable on both the FTB-400/500
Universal Test System and the FTB-200 Compact Platform. This
cross-platform support provides users with added flexibility by enabling
them to select the appropriate platform that suits their testing needs. EXFO
is the first and only test solution provider to offer this versatility, delivering
single to multi-application test solutions with the same hardware module,
which in turn dramatically reduces capital expenditures. The FTB-8140 is
only supported on the FTB-500.
