A Complete Kit of
Powerful Protocol Analysis Tools—
In One Handheld Unit

The fully-loaded SunSet SDH incorporates the most popular and


powerful features for testing PDH (2, 34, 139 Mbit/s), T-carrier
(1.5 and 45 Mbit/s), and SDH networks (52, 155 and 622 Mbit/s).
The SunSet SDH also offers protocol analyzer functions with Internet
Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), GSM Voice and
TRAU Access, GSM A-bis protocol, V5.x, GPRS over GSM A-bis, and
SS7. Traditional voice frequency (VF) and trunk conditioning
functions are also included.
The SunSet SDH is battery powered and field upgradeable. Its light
weight, rugged durability, long battery life, and low cost make it the
ideal tool for field technicians in the Access Network. The comprehensive
feature set also makes it well suited for local exchange and laboratory
environments.

testing & analysis—in a handheld unit

Don’t let the unit’s small size fool you—the SunSet SDH offers extensive features for SDH
testing and analysis. With the SunSet SDH, operators can access the SDH network at the
optical or electrical interface, including STM-0/1 electrical and STM-1/4 optical. The
SunSet SDH supports full ITU-T mapping for VC11, VC12, VC3, and VC4. Comprehensive
SDH errors and alarms are conveniently sorted by near-end
and far-end, regenerator section, multiplexer section, and
high order and low order path, complying with ITU-T
recommendations. Tests range from simple verification of
optical power level and frequency to advanced features like
overhead control/decode and multiplexer testing.

SDH for the field


The SunSet SDH is uniquely suited
for field applications. No other SDH
analyzer weighs less than 1.5
kilograms and runs for hours
on a single battery charge. Field operators can quickly verify signal level
with an easy to read power measurement.

Powerful signaling and protocol
analysis in your hand

GSM
The SunSet SDH provides the most convenient and cost-
effective solution for installing and maintaining GSM links
and ensuring proper transmission at higher rates. This
comprehensive, handheld unit provides the signaling
functions needed to isolate problematic signals. It also
features the transmission tests required to verify
performance between the GSM circuits and the public
switched networks. Comprehensive results assist in analyzing
physical signaling, voice access, and traffic management.
Protocol analysis for A-bis interface can be performed
GSM
later with stored data. In-service monitoring helps to
analyze both channel traffic and voice quality.

TRAU Testing
The SDH can insert an artificial voice
message into a GSM subchannel to
check voice conversion in the TRAU
units. Full duplex testing means the
SDH can insert a voice message or
a 16 kbit/s data pattern on an in-service
link. C-bit manipulation can test the
network’s response to stress loads.

V5.x

V5.1/V5.2
The SunSet SDH also supports V5.x protocol analysis for
the access network, including 3 Time Slot (3 C-paths)
monitoring for V5.2 protocol. Detailed protocol analysis for
in-service testing with message filters and a memory buffer
make the SunSet SDH a very powerful test unit for the
access network.

12
GPRS
The SunSet SDH provides GPRS monitoring over A-bis interface, conforming
to ETSI recommendations for GSM. GPRS statistics include layer detection,
pass/fail report, and session count. A-bis statistics include RLL Management,
D Management, CC Management, and TRX Management.

VF Measurements

Voice Frequency Testing


The SunSet SDH tests digital to
analog conversion by inserting and
measuring tones (50 to 3950 Hz)
on individual channels. You may
talk/listen over a channel using
the SunSet’s integrated micro-
phone and speaker.

SS7

SS7
The SS7 option places powerful SS7 protocol analysis and
monitoring in the hands of the field technician. Protocol
decodes help technicians determine a preliminary diagnosis
to SS7 network problems. Statistic screens show traffic
utilization, frame types, and retransmission. Powerful filters aid
in quick troubleshooting by focusing on a specific customer,
message type, OPC/DPC, etc.

13
PDH/T-carrier
Testing

Powerful PDH Testing


Full testing of PDH legacy networks can be
done with the SunSet SDH. Framed, unframed
and structured modes are available for in-
service and out-of-service tests for different
types of tributaries. Fractional E1(Nx64) or T1
(Nx64, Nx56) with selectable time slot setting
is also available on this powerful test set. Comprehensive
T-Carrier Testing
Just because the SunSet SDH is
designed for high speed optical
rates and data-centric protocols
like ATM does not mean that you
need to sacrifice the traditional
T-carrier applications. The SunSet
SDH offers all the transmission
testing applications for 1.5 and
45 Mbit/s circuits.

Windows®-Based Remote
Control and Storage
Technicians can remotely
operate the SunSet SDH
from a PC simply by
connecting to the SDH serial
port using a standard printer
cable and null modem
adapter. A graphic user
interface that exactly
duplicates the look and feel
of the SDH is available for
Windows®-based PCs.
