6000A Charge Led; Launching The Msam Or Csam; Multiple Bert Icons - Viavi T-BERD MTS 5800 Getting Started Manual

Chapter 3 Getting Started

Launching the MSAM or CSAM

automatically charge the battery because the power supplied via the AC Adapter is
required to:
• Support high speed applications (for example, OTU2, OTU3, and OTU4 applica-
tions).
• Support multiple tests running concurrently; particularly when using an MSAM
with an XFP SIM.
• Support optical Jitter applications.

6000A Charge LED

The Charge LED on the front of the 6000A base unit behaves as follows when testing
using an MSAM:

only
1. When running OTU2 applications, or multiple tests on an MSAM with one application that requires an XFP PIM, the instrument does
not charge the battery - even when the adapter supplies power. When you launch these applications, the Charge LED extinguishes to
alert you that the battery is not charging. Applications that use the XFP PIM include 10 Gigabit LAN, 10 Gigabit WAN, 10 Gigabit Fibre
Channel, OC-192 SONET, STM-64 SDH, and OTU2 OTN.

Launching the MSAM or CSAM

If the MSAM, or CSAM was launched during your last test session (when you turned
the power OFF), the instrument launches it automatically when you turn power back
ON. If the module was off when you turned power OFF, you must actively launch it after
you turn power back ON.

Multiple BERT icons

The MSAM and CSAM are all represented by a "BERT" icon on the System screen. If
you are using a DMC with two MSAMs, two CSAMs, or one of each, two BERT icons
appear on the screen (one for each MSAM and CSAM). If you stack multiple DMCs on
a single T-BERD ⁄ MTS 8000 base unit, an icon appears for each MSAM, or CSAM.
