Fibre Channel Signal Delay

The FC SAN Emulator simulates delays and impairment (such as bit errors and frame drops) for 1G, 2G, 4G and 10G Fibre Channel signals. This SAN Emulator supports all standard Fibre Channel frame formats and functions at 100% line rate without dropping any frames (regardless of frame size).

FC 1G & 2G functionality can be delivered in an M Series System, as an MSFC (uni-directional) or MSFC-B (bi-directional) Network Emulator. FC 1G, 2G, 4G and/or 10G functionality can be delivered in an H Series System as an HSFC (uni-directional) or HSFC-B (bi-directional) Network Emulator. FC SAN emulator capability can also be combined with other Anue solutions (such as SONET/SDH Delay or Gigabit Ethernet delay) to create multi-protocol "Combo" systems

Fibre Channel Delay Emulator

Product Features

DELAY
# Fully 10-bit transparent operation: delayed output is logically identical to input signal
* No modification of transmitted signal: 10-bit code words maintained throughout
* Running disparity is unchanged
* Inter Frame Gap (idle fill characters) unchanged
# Delay is adjustable up to 250 ms (50,000 km) in each direction in one bit (470 ps) increments

FRAME DROP
# Generates Frame Loss - from every frame to one in every 64K frames or at selected time intervals
* Dropped frames are replaced with idles or repeats of the last word prior to the start of the packet
* Can drop frames deterministically, or according to a variety of pseudo random sequences chosen by the user

BER
# Acts as a BER Tester, capable of injecting bit-errors from 10 -12 to 10 -2 error rates
* 1-bit, 32-bit contiguous or 32-bit user defined error pattern
* Error injection can be fixed or random; random distribution sequences include Poisson, Uniform or Gaussian
* Errors injected into both frames and inter-frame gap
# Emulates loss of signal, loss of frame and/or squelch mode under user or program control

MISC
# Optimized for ease of use:
* Front panel LCD control for standalone operation
* Powerful TCL script library enables automated remote testing
* Intuitive GUI for interactive remote control
# Allows remote monitoring and control of the SAN Emulator via

Ethernet
# Using a SAN Emulator is a cost effective alternative to test beds built with fiber spools and optical amplifiers
# Both multi-mode optics and single-mode optics are available 2
# User configurations can be saved and restored
1 On M Series Platform, 250ms max delay time is for 2xFC; 1xFC is 500ms max, 4xFC and 10xFC are 400ms. Also, an optional "Delay Doubler" upgrade doubles the maximum delay time.2 850 nm multi-mode optics are standard; 1310 nm single mode optics are optional
