Description:
Data Link Simulator
Information
The SX/14 is part of the Spirent SX Data Link Simulators
product line, which simulates terrestrial and satellite data
links for testing internetworking equipment and applications
under repeatable and controllable conditions. Utilizing
dual-channel, full-duplex operation, these simulators
provide bi-directional testing with programmable delays,
random bit errors and burst errors. Multiple delay and error
events can be programmed into complex sequences to simulate
a wide variety of chronic and periodic conditions or events,
such as peak traffic and equipment overloads. Three products
are included in the SX product line and differ primarily in
the speeds supported and extended functionality options
available:
• SX/12 — Supports speeds up to 8.448 Mbps and remote
operation options
• SX/13a — Supports speeds up to 51.84 Mbps and can be
upgraded with error targeting and remote operation options
• SX/14 — Supports speeds up to 155.52 Mbps and can be
upgraded with an error targeting Interface and remote
operation option
The SX products consist of a rack-mountable, portable
mainframe coupled with at least one interchangeable
interface. The interfaces enable the mainframe to connect to
different types of data links. Other options extend the
SX/14’s functionality. The unit can be used in lab
conditions or for live field testing. The primary method of
operation is through the front panel keys and LCD screen.
Optional modules enable it to be operated remotely via a PC
or other type of terminal. This allows the Test Set to be
placed permanently in a network, if necessary.
Typical simulator applications include testing the
operation, performance and reliability of multiplexers,
bridges, encrypters, network applications and other
communications hardware and Software. When used for link
simulation, these simulators physically connect directly
between two pieces of equipment to replace conventional data
links, such as satellite connections, WANs or telephone
networks. They can also be used in line with an actual data
link to add additional delays or errors, or to simulate the
effects of adding an additional link to the system.

Information
The SX/14 Operating Manual describes how to use the SX/14
Data Link Simulator. This manual is a comprehensive guide to
installing, setting up, and operating the SX/14. The manual
includes procedures that are specific to each of the 12
interfaces and optional modules, and the physical
specifications of each.
The SX/14 Operating Manual is for people involved with the
day-to-day use of the product. This includes network
administrators, system administrators, hardware engineers,
Software engineers, and quality assurance technicians. In
addition, individuals tasked with planning tests for
applications and equipment may find the manual useful for
understanding what types of test scenarios can be created.
The chapters are:
Chapter 1, Installing the SX/14, explains how to install and
connect the SX/14 chassis, interfaces, and options.
Chapter 2, Setting Up the SX/14, explains the basic setup
when first turning on the unit.
Chapter 3, Setting Up SX/14 Interfaces, explains how to set
up the nine data link interfaces.
Chapter 4, Operating the SX/14, explains how to set up the
MAIN PARAMETERS screen, including setting delay and errors
parameters.
Chapter 5, Creating Programs for the SX/14, explains how to
create programs and program steps, which are more
complicated testing situations.
Chapter 6, Using the Error Targeting Options, explains how
to use the two error targeting options that extend the
functionality of the SX/14 unit. The two options are the
SX/14 Error Targeting Option (bundled with the SX/13 Error
Targeting Option) and the Extended T1/E1 Simulation Option.
Chapter 7, Remotely Operating the SX/14, explains how to set
up the two remote control options for operations from a
remote Control Unit.
Chapter 8, Diagnostics and Troubleshooting for the SX/14,
explains how to run the diagnostics and how to contact
Technical Support.
Chapter 9, SX/14 Specifications, details the physical
characteristics and operating requirements of the unit.
