SONET/SDH Signal Delay
Network Emulators
- Test operability in the presence of delay
- Validate the handling bit errors
- Detect and respond properly to LOS/LOF alarms
Anue SONET/SDH Signal Delay Network Emulators are used for
testing transport solutions in a lab environment. SONET/SDH Signal Delay Network Emulators can reproduce the delay and impairments experienced by SONET/SDH signals across MANs and WANs.
Anue SONET/SDH Signal Delay Network Emulators:
- Run 100% line rate traffic 155Mbps to 10Gbps
- Can be automated or operated interactively, locally or remotely
- Are accurate down to one-bit time increments
- Provide delay of 250ms or more at all bit rates
Maui and Hawaii Network Emulator Hardware Platform
The SONET/SDH Signal Delay Network Emulator is available on a 2U rack-mount chassis that supports up to 7 software loads. There are two platforms available:
- The Maui platform supports up to four blades and data rates up to 2.6Gbps.
- The Hawaii platform supports up to two blades and data rates up to 11.3Gbps.
Supported Rates
- OC-3/STM-1 (155.52Mbps)
- OC-12/STM-4 (622.08Mbps)OC-48/STM-16 (2.488Gbps)
- OC-192/STM-64 (9.953Gbps)
Delay
- Insert up to 4sec delay at OC-3 rates, 1sec delay at OC12 rates, and 250ms delay at OC48 rates.
- Introduce delay with no pointer movements and no modification of TOH, POH or payload bytes.
- Increase maximum delay with a Delay Doubler and Quadrupler (even greater delay amounts are available upon request)
Error
- Set error rates from 10-12 to 10-2.
- Inject errors at a fixed rate (periodic) or randomly with a Uniform, Poisson or Gaussian distribution.
- Error 1 bit, 32 contiguous bits or a 32-bit user-defined error pattern.
- Simulate loss of signal, loss of frame and/or squelch mode under user or program control.
Operation
- Configure via a front panel LCD control for standalone operation
- Configure remotely via an Ethernet control port
- Interactive: Browser-based GUI with save/load capability
- Automated: Powerful TCL script library

Note: Up to 7 software loads for different protocols (SONET, OTN, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, CPRI) can be combined on the same system. A combo WAN Simulator can easily switch between different features, data rates and protocols, simplifying testing and leveraging your investment. See Combination Network Emulator products
