ATM Testing
The SunSet OCx is the single testing solution for both the physical layer and the ATM layer. With one test set, a single technician can verify network performance with and without ATM traffic. All applicable network rates from T1 to OC-48c are available in one chassis, eliminating the need for multiple ATM test
sets. The full-featured ATM testing capabilities of the SunSet OCx provide the power and flexibility to install and troubleshoot an ATM network from the ground
up. The OCx can test and monitor transmission between separate network elements (NNI)
or between the network and edge devices. Here it can verify network provisioning; perform stress tests; conduct BER testing; and monitor responses to alarms, errors, and OAM cells. The SunSet OCx allows you to non-intrusively monitor traffic across the network, gathering statistics on congestion, bandwidth, idle cells, OAM cells, and errors.
Any SONET or T-carrier network provisioned for ATM traffic needs to be qualified for ATM. If you lease your network to service providers using ATM, you need a tool to
test, verify, and troubleshoot the network and the traffic it is carrying. Conversely, if you are responsible for the ATM traffic, you must verify that the network is error-free and functioning properly, especially when you do not own the network. When traffic is disrupted, you cannot waste valuable time and money on finger pointing.
Traffic Generation
-
Generate multiple independent VCCs. With the SunSet OCx, you can program up to eight independent VCCs, each with their own traffic pattern and payload, up to 100% of your ATM network capacity. The OCx supports O.191 test cells or user cells with pseudo-random or 16-bit patterns.
-
Insert Errors and OAM Cells. Inject bit errors, HEC errors, or OAM Fault Management cells into your generated traffic.

Traffic Supervision
- VCC Scan. View the traffic moving across the network including the cell header and bandwidth. Filter on VPI or select one or more VCCs for more detailed traffic statistics.
- BERT and Quality of Service (QoS). The SunSet OCx supports QoS measurements, such as cell delay variation,cell loss ratio, and bit error rate testing.
- Capture and store cells. Save, view, decode, and analyze user and OAM cells. Decode the ATM header and OAM function fields.

DSL Testing
Highlights
- Automatic detection of SunSet xDSL
- Independent upstream and downstream rates
- Bit error rate and throughput testing
- ATM over SONET and T-Carrier out of the DSLAM
As DSL becomes widely deployed, DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Loop ATM
Multiplexer) installation verification is becoming more critical in ensuring proper functionality. However, when the full backbone is not operational, only limited testing can be achieved. To solve this problem, Sunrise Telecom has developed an innovative test solution for DSLAM turn-up verification.
The SunSet OCx works hand-in-hand with the SunSet xDSL to perform dual-ended, asymmetric ADSL qualification. These tests not only allow you to verify installation, but also the qualification of the Optical Carrier and the DSL copper pair simultaneously. This help qualify DLC (Digital Loop Carrier) Systems and verify proper provisioning of the remote DSLAM.
ATM IP Testing
Highlights
 RFC 1483 Bridged and Routed, PPPoA, and PPPoE- Static and dynamic addresses
- PING generation and automated PING response
The predominant application for ATM networks, especially for DSL services, is the Internet.Testing the IP layer is critical for qualifying an ATM connection. Though it only takes a few minutes, the IP PING test can qualify not only the ATM network, but reach through Ethernet, Packet over SONET, and other IP-centric networks.
