HP E6279A Frame Relay Over HSSI Test Software

The HP E6279A Frame Relay Over HSSI Test Software functionally verifies the correct transmission of Frame Relay traffic at speeds up to 52Mb/s over permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). This software exploits the Broadband Series Test System's unique architecture designed specifically for high-speed testing, making it the most powerful R&D high-speed Frame Relay protocol tester available to designers, manufacturers and providers of high-speed Frame Relay products, services and networks.

The HP E6279A supports both real-time operation by capturing and decoding traffic as it occurs, and an off-line mode where by captured traffic is played back from memory or a file. The decoded English language display uses the same terminology found in standards documents. Errors are automatically detected and highlighted on-screen, complete with explanatory messages. Protocol data units can be displayed with the live viewer, or captured to memory.

The industry-standard HP E4200/E4210 Broadband Series Test System (BSTS) is ideal for R&D engineering, product development, field trials and quality assurance. It offers the most transmission and protocol technologies on a single platform - with six powerful solutions for Frame Relay/ATM interworking testing. You can test both sides of a Frame Relay/ATM interworking function or device with a single BSTS since timestamps and statistics are synchronized between all modules in a BSTS chassis, allowing correlation of events and times between physical ports.

Decode Displays

Summary Mode
Displays a single line description of each PDU

Detailed Mode
Displays a multi-line description of each event with field-by-field 
decoding; includes header/trailer and payloadoptions

Hex Mode
Displays the entire PDU in hexadecimal format

Timestamps
Toggle on/off the display of timestamps

Port Identifier
Toggle on/off the display of the VXI slot number of the module from
which the data was captured; also indicates whether the captured
data was transmitted or received

Summary Display Contents
Event header
Most significant error in PDU (if any)

Detailed Display Contents
Field-by-field decode of each header and trailer field


Frame Relay Error Isolation

Decode Errors
Aborted frames
Frame is too large
Frame is too small
Address size is too large
Address size is too small
Less than 3 octets between address and end flag
Invalid frame check sequence (FCS) or cyclical redundancy check 
(CRC-16)


Real-Time Statistics

Statistics
Total received frames
Total transmitted frames
Matched pattern counts

Pattern Matching
Passes or blocks frames which match a 48-byte user-defined pattern
Define up to 8 separate data patterns
High-speed hardware-based pattern matchers can operate at full line 
speed
