The MetroNet 5000 allows you to view a variety of network
parameters and their performance statistics. The L1/
Unframed BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) is a cable integrity test
that can be done with one or two ports. This test typically
consists of a test pattern generator and a receiver that can be
set to the same pattern.
This L1/Unframed BERT test can be implemented singularly
with one Layer 1 device at either end of a transmission link
and a loopback at the remote end. To test in pairs, the same
test is performed over two ports instead of one. A PRBS
pattern is generated by your MetroNet 5000 transmission port.
