GL Communications' LightSpeed 1000 OC-3,OC-12,STM-1 or STM-4 solution allows the user to turn his PC or Laptop into a powerful OC-3,OC-12,STM-1 or STM-4 analyser.  These high performance analysis cards can analyse, record and playback ATM, POS or RAW data.  With the ability to monitor and generate Sonet and SDH Alarms and Errors, as well as internally generate BERT patterns in all frame modes, GL's LightSpeed 1000 card is a valuable tool for developers and integrators

Capabilities

• Ability to capture to disk at full rate in both directions without error.
• Wirespeed BERT over ATM, POS, and RAW formats on both ports simultaneously.
• Complex and flexible filtering options: Sixteen 128 bit independently applied filters.
• Hardware based precise time stamping of cells / packets with 10 nsec resolution, 1 ppm accuracy
• Portability thru a USB 2.0 Interface
• Single Mode or Multi Mode Fibre SFP support
• High performance 4x PCIe compliant interface
  
• Onboard SODIMM memory (DDR2) – up to 2 Giga bytes
  
• Provides external LEDs for LOS, LOF alarms for visual inspection. Also supports User defined LED that can be configured by the user
  
• Flexible DMA ring buffer architecture to read/write cells and packets at wire-speed
  
• Multiple cards per system for super high capacity monitoring and test system
  
• Hardware independent of higher level protocol for easy adaptation of future protocols

Tests Performed

Capable of wirespeed BERT and Capture, the LightSpeed 1000 provides real time monitoring control of all the major Sonet and SDH overheads, alarms and errors, Combined with the ability to analyse ATM, POS and UMTS protocols.

Summary

GL's LightSpeed 1000 Card (PCIe or USB 2.0) plugs into a PC expansion slot for analysing, testing, simulating, and monitoring OC-3,OC-12,STM-1 or STM-4 signals. SONET/SDH Alarm generation, Error injection and detection capability, overhead monitoring features and its many other features make GL's LightSpeed 1000 Card Analyser a complete SONET and SDH testing solution.
