About the 25.6 Mb/s Interface Pod
Overview The HP E5129A 25.6 Mb/s Interface Pod is a self-contained, plug-in
module. You use it in conjunction with the HP E5200A Broadband Service
Analyzer to test and analyze a system under test (SUT).
The interface pod generates and analyzes ATM cell streams in a 25.6 Mb/s
4B5B format, in accordance with ATM Forum ATM 25.6 Mb/s over Twisted
Pair Cable, af-phy-004.000.
Hot swap and
automatic
configuration
Use the “hot swap” feature to insert and remove the interface pod while
the analyzer’s power is switched on. The analyzer automatically detects
the insertion of the interface pod and configures itself accordingly.
Immediately after you connect the interface pod to the SUT, the analyzer
automatically configures the receive and transmit parameters according to
the signal it receives.
Operating modes The interface pod has three operating modes: full duplex, internal
transmit loopback, and receive loopback.
Components The interface pod is shipped with
• a Calibration Certificate
• a set of three connecting cables
• this Set Up guide
Application The HP E5129A 25.6 Mb/s Interface Pod requires an E5200A base unit
with Application Version number A.02.0 or greater.
Passive monitoring The 25.6 Mb/s Interface Pod has one connector only. To use the interface
pod to perform passive monitoring or bi-directional monitoring, you need
