Restoring Test Defaults; Vt-100 Emulation; Establishing A Serial Connection - Viavi T-BERD MTS 5800 Getting Started Manual

Chapter 4 Basic Testing

Restoring test defaults

The Reports screen appears, listing the contents of:
acterna/user/disk/bert/reports
3 Select the report you want to export, and then select the Export button.
The File Export dialog box appears, indicating that the unit is copying the selected
report file to the USB memory key.
The report is exported.
Before removing the USB key, you must eject the USB.
View the File Manager (using the File key), and then select the Eject USB soft key.
After the Eject USB soft key disappears, it is safe to remove the USB.

Restoring test defaults

You can restore test settings to the factory defaults at any time.
To restore test defaults
• On the Main screen, select Tools > Reset Test to Defaults.
The default settings are restored.

VT-100 emulation

If your instrument is optioned to do so, you can use it to emulate a VT-100 terminal, and
then connect it to a network element (such as an HTU-R, HTU-C, HRE, or SmartJack
(NIU)) via a serial interface to gather information about the element. When emulating a
VT-100 terminal, data from the network element appears on the Dual Module Carrier,
Transport Module, and MSAM screen. You can save this information to an ASCII file,
print it, or export it. Information gathered typically includes loss, margin, synchroniza-
tion, performance (SES, ES, UAS, etc.), and alarm information.
During a VT100 session, you can also configure and provision the accessed network
element from the Dual Module Carrier, Transport Module, and MSAM. When using
VT-100 emulation, you must connect the optional USB keyboard to the instrument to
issue queries and commands.

Establishing a serial connection

When you order the VT-100 Emulation option, Viavi ships a USB to serial (DB-9) cable
with the instrument or option. This cable has been tested for use with the Dual Module
Carrier, Transport Module, and MSAM, and should be used whenever you connect the
Dual Module Carrier, Transport Module, and MSAM to a network element for VT-100
communication.
