This application note discusses how EXFO’s FTB-8120NG/8130NG Transport BlazerTM Next-Generation SONET/SDH Test Modules, with their add/drop Ethernet interface feature in particular, can help service providers and system vendors satisfy these new testing needs. This feature, unique to EXFO, has proven to be invaluable to its users as it allows them to cover a wide range of test applications, from lab-based network verification and interoperability, to field-level Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH circuit turn-up and troubleshooting. This paper outlines five major test applications for qualifying next-generation systems, as well as for activating and maintaining Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH circuits in the network.
