Spirent 400302 DS3 Interface

The Spirent 400302 DS3 Interface is a key interface board for the Adtech AX/4000 series, a high-performance broadband test system for testing broadband technologies such as ATM, IP, Frame Relay and Ethernet. This interface module provides dedicated DS3 physical connections for the AX/4000’s Generator, Generator/Analyzer and ATM Network Impairment Emulator modules for various testing applications in high-speed networks.

With both port interface and faceplate, the 400302 DS3 interface provides reliable high-speed connectivity to DS3 networks, allowing the AX/4000 to generate, analyze and impair traffic across a DS3 link. This is particularly useful for telecom providers and network equipment manufacturers to verify and benchmark their equipment under specific network conditions. As part of the AX/4000’s modular multi-port architecture, the 400302 interface adds to the system’s versatility to test multiple technologies simultaneously and meet strict industry standards.

The DS3 interface connects to the AX/4000 test modules with Spirent’s controller software which provides configuration, testing and monitoring. The AX/4000 software has both graphical and programmable interface, making configuration easy and giving precise control over testing parameters. It allows setup of realistic network scenarios and automated alarm triggers, so you have comprehensive testing and diagnostic capabilities. Engineers can adjust transmit timing sources, monitor errors and collect detailed data on error rates and performance metrics, so you can test your network devices under various load conditions.

The 400302 interface supports dynamic scenarios to test a device’s response to real world network impairments such as signal loss or frame errors and gives insight into the resilience and performance of the network systems. With the AX/4000, you can do in-depth analysis including continuous monitoring of the DS3 line to detect and troubleshoot issues early. This interface is a must have for testing network reliability especially where DS3 connectivity is critical.
