MAP-2100

Rack-mounted test unit for remote BER tests

The one tool data center operators need to remotely test transmission quality of the network connecting its data centers, central offices, or head ends.

Securing the integrity of data stored in data centers is so important that most data center operators back up data to other data centers via high-performance network links. To maintain the performance of those connections and to verify SLAs, a data center must frequently perform bit-error-rate (BER) tests on Ethernet line rates up to 100G and beyond, as well as OTN, CWDM, or DWDM circuits. The problem is that many data centers have very few, if any, technicians to run tests ensuring the quality of connections.

The MAP 2100 was designed to enable data center operators and network service providers to securely run high-performance bit error rate tests to unmanned locations.

Key Use Cases

Office-to-office (data center interconnect)
- Scenario: Need to test the network between sites, but neither site has a technician to run tests via portable,
- hand-held testers
- Solution: MAP-2100 at both sites, run tests remotely via secure communications
- Encryption up to 256 bits
- Additional security by forward all management connectivity through SSH (port )
Manual-to-office
- Scenario: Two sites, but only one with a portable tester and a technician present – typically, this is a two-person
- Test
- Solution: Use a portable T-BERD/MTS-5800 on one site and test against a rack-mounted MAP-2100 in the other
- Only one technician is required to run the test saving expense, man hours
- Either test unit can be controlled by the other using Smart Access Anywhere
Submarine
- Scenario: Multiple plants with a mix of terrestrial, dry, and wet. Need to test between plants to ensure the network is performing to capacity.
- Solution: Deploy MAP-2100 units at multiple sites to provide efficient, high-capacity testing with minimal technician intervention.
Software-based Test and Measurement (Fusion)
- Scenario: A “hybrid” network with a mix of physical and virtual circuits has multiple test points; portable, rack-mounted, and virtual, with a need to control them all from a central location via a northbound Netconf/YANG interface
- Solution: VIAVI Fusion runs standardized BERT and performance monitoring (TWAMP) over multiple test points, both physical and virtual, via an LMAP-compliant architecture.

Product Group	Recommend Plan	Bronze	Silver	Maxcare	Why Calibrate?
MAP (Mainframe/Module)	Bronze-3				It is essential in manufacturing environment to ensure your product meets the published/customer requirements. Having accurate measurements ensures highest possible yields whilst maintaining product specifications. Ensuring all that the optical test equipment is performing as designed and calibrated is requirement in achieving that goal. Viavi will validate measurement accuracies conform to published specifications. Maintain connectors and pigtails. Factory standards to ensure accuracy MAP VIAVI is a TL9000 company and calibrates this instrument based on general requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) to ensure your instrument is certified to measure accurately. Instruments that are out of calibration will produce unreliable measurements and can create false passing or false failing test results that often cause your team repeat work. We maintain, polish and clean all fiber connectors, fix pigtail connections that are internal to the product to ensure all parts stay in good working order and upgrade software / firmware to the latest approved release to enable enhancements. VIAVI Care Plans are the most cost-effective way to plan for calibration with a low, discounted price at the time of instrument purchase. Fixed rate calibration can also be purchased later via a separate purchase order. Ensure accurate measurements that meet design expectations and optical budgets. Maintain ports and connectors to keep signals working properly and to extend the life of the instrument. For example, if optical connectors or lasers are bad or interface ports are loose then after repeated connection cycles, optical measurements may be inaccurate or damage may occur. When manufacturing optical network products, accurate, reliable and repeatable optical measurement performance is essential to compliance with published/committed product specifications Know that optical product design, product manufacturing and customer expectations are accurate and in alignment throughout product lifecycle Why calibrate this product? Inaccurate measurements may prevent verification of power levels or introduce other measurement uncertainties, errors and artifacts. Out-of-calibration instruments can result in design errors, production problems, end customer escalations, increased failure rates, audit non-compliance or even ultimately loss of business. What are the most common implications of these issues to the MAP business? Uncalibrated tools produce unreliable measurement results that can't be certified to specifications and may violate product agreements or ISO/TL9000 standards with your customers and their network equipment vendors. Design errors resulting from inaccurate measurements can result in ongoing issues throughout the product lifecycle including poor yields, inaccurate optical budgets, increased return rates and customer expectation mismatch. Production costs can be elevated by increased re-work, reduced yield and inconsistencies between measurements. Common Business impacts include: Lost revenue, customer complaints and increased costs. Quality audit failures. For end customers, repeat product quality issues with vendors often cause added cost, customer dissatisfaction and loss of business. What are the common issues?
