Quick Card
T-BERD/MTS 5800™ Network Tester
Testing VOIP SIP Trunks
This document outlines how to connect the T-BERD/MTS to a Session Border Controller (SBC) and run
an Ethernet VOIP Terminate test to validate the provisioning and performance of a SIP trunk.

Equipment Requirements:

•
T-BERD/MTS 5800v2 or T-BERD 5800-100G equipped with the
following:
o BERT software release V26.1 or greater
o Test options:
▪ C5VOIP: Voice over IP option
▪ C5LSCAPTURE (recommended for packet capture/decode)
• CAT5E or optical jumper cables to match the line under test
• Headset (Plantronics M114 or M210c recommended)
• For optical interfaces:
o Fiber inspection microscope
(VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
o Fiber optic cleaning supplies
The following information is required to complete the test:
• Physical Interface (RJ-45 Copper, 1000BASE-SX Multimode, 1000BASE-LX Single mode, etc.)
• Speed and Auto Negotiation settings of the SBC LAN port
• VLAN ID (if a VLAN is being used)
• IP Address for the SBC LAN port
• IP Address, Subnet mask, and default gateway for the T-BERD/MTS or PBX
• Is registration required, or is this a non-registering trunk?
• User Name and Password (required for registering trunks only)
• Customer's Billing Telephone Number for the SIP trunk
• Destination Telephone Number(s) for outbound call testing

Connect to Line Under Test:

• For copper testing with the T-BERD/MTS 5800v2, connect the Port 1 10/100/1000 RJ-45 jack to the
Ethernet port under test using CAT 5E or better cable, and proceed to page 2.
• For copper testing with the T-BERD/MTS 5800-100G, connect the Port 2 10/100/1000 RJ-45 jack to
the Ethernet port under test using CAT 5E or better cable, and proceed to page 2.
• For optical testing, insert an SFP or SFP+ into the Port 1 slot on the top of the T-BERD/MTS.
o Ensure the fiber and connectors are clean using a Fiber Inspection microscope.
o Connect the SFP or SFP+ to the Ethernet port under test.
• Use CAT 5E or better cable for 10/100/1000BASE-T.
• Use Multimode jumper cables for 850 nm 1000BASE-SX or 10GBASE-SR.
• Use Single mode jumper cables for 1310 nm 1000BASE-LX or 10GBASE-LR.
