1 About this Manual

ParBERT is the term for Agilent Technologies’ family of Parallel Bit Error

Ratio Testers.

Agilent 81250 ParBERT is a modular parallel electrical and optical bit

error rate (BER) test platform that operates at up to 45 Gbit/s. The

ParBERT 81250 platform comprises modules that operate at 675 Mbit/s,

1.65 Gbit/s, 2.7 Gbit/s, 3.35 Gbit/s, 7 Gbit/s, 10.8 Gbit/s, 13.5 Gbit/s, and

45 Gbit/s.

The system generates pseudo random word sequences (PRWS), standard

pseudo random binary sequences (PRBS) and user-defined patterns on

parallel lines. You can analyze bit error ratios with user defined patterns,

PRBS/PRWS, or mixed data (a combination of user-defined patterns and

PRBS).

This installation guide leads you through the steps to identify, install, and

configure the Agilent 81250 ParBERT or any component of this system.

1-2 Agilent 81250 ParBERT InstallationGuide, May 2004

Welcome to the ParBERT

Installation Guide

This manual is not only the guide for the first-time installation. It

contains also the necessary instructions if you wish to change or upgrade

an existing ParBERT configuration.

General Structure of the Installation Guide

The chapters two to five provide all the information you need for setting

up a standard, multi-purpose ParBERT system. This is a system

consisting of a controller PC and one to three VXI mainframes that

contain clock modules and electrical data generator/analyzer modules.

Chapter six explains how you can change the hardware configuration of

an existing ParBERT system.

Chapter seven deals with special ParBERT systems. These are systems

containing special components or modules for special purposes. Such

modules are, for example, the MUX/DEMUX modules of 43/45 Gbit/s

systems, optical modules, the 10.8 Gbit/s Booster Module, or the

embedded ParBERT controller (a PC built up as a 2-slot VXI module).

Chapter eight provides assistance if you have changed the hardware and

the system does not react as expected.

The last chapter gives some advice about how to set up ParBERT for

remote control.

Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, May2004 1-3

How to Use this Guide

This manual is not meant to be read through from its beginning to its

end. It depends on your situation which information you need.

If … … refer to Chapter Chapter contents

… you install ParBERT for

the first time “2 Introduction” on

page 2-1 This chapter provides an overview of the standard

system components and the prerequisites for the

installation.

… you have received a new

ParBERT system “3 Setting Up the

ParBERT Controller

PC” on page 3-1

ParBERT requires a controller PC. This chapter

provides information on:

• How to start a preconfigured ParBERT controller

• How to install the ParBERT hard- and software

on a custom PC

•

… you wish to connect one

or several ParBERT

mainframes

“4 Connecting

Mainframes to the

Controller PC” on

page 4-1

This chapter provides instructions on how to connect

a single or multiple ParBERT mainframes through IEEE

1394 PC link to VXI interfaces.

If you wish to add mainframes to a ParBERT system

with embedded controller PC (a special VXI module),

refer to chapter “Expanding Systems with Embedded

Controller” on page 7-23.

… you are starting

ParBERT for the first time,

or if you have changed the

hardware configuration

“5 Putting ParBERT

into Operation” on

page 5-1

This chapter explains how to check the hardware

identification and how to use the ParBERT

Configuration tool.

… you wish to add,

exchange, or remove

modules or frontends

“6 Changing the

ParBERT Hardware”

on page 6-1

This chapter contains all the necessary information.

1 About this Manual Welcome to the ParBERT Installation Guide

1-4 Agilent 81250 ParBERT InstallationGuide, May 2004

If … … refer to Chapter Chapter contents

… your system includes

special modules “7 Special ParBERT

Systems” on page 7-1 In this chapter, you find the supplementary

• installation instructions for 43/45 Gbit/s systems

• installation instructions for optical modules

• installation instructions for the 10.8 Gbit/s

Booster Module

• upgrade instructions for ParBERT systems with

embedded controller PC

… your installation was not

successful “8 Troubleshooting

the ParBERT

Installation” on

page 8-1

This chapter provides information on frequent

problems, possible causes, and solutions.

… you wish to control

ParBERT from a remote

computer

“9 Controlling

ParBERT Remotely”

on page 9-1

Though remote control via GPIB is possible, the

preferred method is via LAN. This chapter explains

how to set up ParBERT for remote control.

Several optional as well as standard system components are delivered

with their own dedicated installation and user manuals. Such

components are for example:

• E8403A/E8404A VXI mainframe

• E9850A embedded VXI controller

• E8491B IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI

• VXI bus extenders

Before you start with the installation, it is therefore recommended that

you inspect the shipment for additional documentation that may be

required for a successful setup and installation.
