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

to obtain a special four-port junction box. See the application notes that

come with the interface pod for more details, or visit our web site:

www.hp.com/go/atmanalyzer

Online Help

I/O Concentrator (UTP) Accepts an electrical signal from and provides a signal to the SUT.

Cable and Line Connector Details

The HP E5129A 25.6 Mb/s Interface Pod’s connector pin conﬁguration

adheres to the speciﬁcation deﬁned in the IBM Corporation’s ATM 25.6

Mb/s PHY Compatibility Speciﬁcation, Version 2.0, 15 October, 1993.

Note In order to comply with EMC regulations, you must use one of the three connection

cables that are supplied with the interface pod to connect to the system under test. See

Connector Cable Configurations on the next page for details.

Cable and Line Connector Details

Connector Cable Conﬁgurations

The interface pod comes with three cables:

•part number E1619-64300 connects a user device to the network (2 to

To Set Up the Interface Pod

Caution Handle the interface pod with care to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD)

damage during unpacking, installation, and operation. The connectors on

the front and rear of the interface pod are susceptible to ESD.

1Insert the interface pod into the analyzer.

See “To Insert the Interface Pod” on page 7. The procedure is the same for

all interface pods.

2Connect the interface pod to the system under test.

See “To Connect to the System Under Test” on page 8. The analyzer

automatically recognizes and conﬁgures the interface pod.

3If you want to change any of the conﬁguration parameters, see “To

Manually Conﬁgure the Interface Pod” on page 11.
