Quick Card
T-BERD 6000Av2 Network Tester
Datacom Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT)
This quick card describes how to configure the T-BERD 6000A as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and
run a Bit Error Rate Test on a Datacom interface using typical configuration settings. Please refer to
the MSAM Data Communication and Diphase Testing Manual for an explanation of all settings.

Equipment Requirements:

• T-BERD 6000Av2 equipped with the following:
o BERT software release V26.3 or greater
o Test options:
▪ High Speed Datacom test option
(VIAVI Part# CTHSDATA)
• Multi-Services Application Module
(VIAVI Part# C1010V2)
• Datacom Physical Interface Module (PIM)
(VIAVI Part# CPHSDATAV2)
• One of the following Datacom cables to connect the
Datacom PIM to the line under test:
o RS-232/V.24, MIL-188c, EIA-530 Cable
(VIAVI Part# CB-44385)
o RS-449/V.36 Cable (VIAVI Part# CB-44388)
o V.35 Cable (VIAVI Part# CB-44390)
The following information is required to complete the test:
• Interface (RS-232/V.24, MIL-188c, EIA-530, RS-449/V.36, or V.35)
• Signal Mode (Balanced or Unbalanced)
• Timing Mode (Synchronous or Asynchronous)
• Rx Timing Source (Internal, Interface, or Recovered)
• Tx Timing Source (Internal or Interface)
• Out of Band Flow Control (On or Off)
• Test Patterns(s)
