About the instruments

The T-BERD / MTS MSAM, CSAM, 5800, 5800-100G are all-in-one test solutions for
the following networks:
• T-Carrier (DS1 and DS3)
• PDH (E1 through E4)
• SONET (STS-1 through OC-192)
• SDH (STM-1e through STM-64)
• Ethernet (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical, 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN
and WAN, 40 Gigabit Optical and 100 Gigabit Optical)
• IP (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical, 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN and
WAN, 40 Gigabit Optical and 100 Gigabit Optical)
• TCP/UDP (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical, and10 Gigabit Ethernet
LAN)
• IP Video (10/100/1000, 100 M Optical, 1 Gigabit Optical, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
LAN)
• Fibre Channel (1G, 2G, 4G, 8 G, 10G, 16G and 32G)
(8G available only on MSAMv2 with 8G-capable SFP+ or XFP transceiver)
• OTN (2.7G, 10.7G, 11.05G, 11.1G, 43.02G and 111.8G)
The Smart Class 4800 and 4800P are stand-alone units that do not support expansion
modules and have fewer features. Refer to your customer documentation for a list of
covered networks.
The MSAM also accepts physical interface modules (PIMs) designed to allow you to
test Data communications and Diphase interfaces. The 5800 family of instruments
allows you to connect optional expansion modules for enhanced optical testing or a
highly accurate timing source during testing.
Each of the instruments is designed to be a rugged, portable, battery-operated test
solution that facilitates the quick turn-up and troubleshooting of multiple services and
network elements in the Metro and Core network. This allows providers who are
expanding their offerings into new data and wavelength services to deploy a single
technician to install and maintain new elements and services using one integrated
module or integrated instrument.

Features and capabilities

Features and capabilities of the instruments include the following (assuming your
instrument is optioned and configured to do so):
• Electrical interfaces support — Ability to test circuits from a variety of electrical
interfaces (DS1, E1 BNC, E1 RJ-48, E3, DS3, STS-1, E4, and STM-1e BNC os
HD-BNC).
• SONET/SDH interfaces support — Ability to test circuits from a variety of SONET
and SDH interfaces (OC-3/STM-1 through OC-192/STM-64).
