Purpose and scope
xiv T-BERD/MTS 5800 Getting Started Manual
Purpose and scope
Thepurposeofthismanualistohelp you successfully usethe
features and capabilities of each of the members of the T-
BERD ⁄MTS 5800 Handheld Network Test Family.
This manual includes task-based instructions that describe
how to configure, use, and troubleshoot the generalfunctions
of the Handheld Network Test Family. Additionally, this
manual provides a complete description of JDSU’s warranty,
services, and repair information. For terms and conditions of
the licensing agreement, go to go to www.jdsu.com.
Assumptions
This manual is intended for novice, intermediate, and experi-
enced users who want to use the Handheld Network Test
Family effectively and efficiently. We are assuming that you
have basic computer experience and are familiar with basic
telecommunication concepts, terminology, and safety.
Terminology
The T-BERD 5800 is branded as the MTS-5800 in Europe,
and it is interchangeably referred to as the T-BERD 5800,
MTS 5800, MTS-5800, MTS5800 and Media Test Set 5800
throughout supporting documentation.
The following terms have a specific meaning when they are
used in this manual:
–OC-n — Used to refer to each of the optical SONET rates
supported by the T-BERD ⁄MTS 5800 (OC-3, OC-12,
OC-48, and OC-192), where “n” represents the
user-selected line rate.

Terminology
T-BERD/MTS 5800 Getting Started Manual xv
–STM-n — Used to refer to each of the optical SDH rates
supported by the T-BERD ⁄MTS 5800M (STM-1, STM-4,
STM-16, and STM-64), where “n” represents the
user-selected line rate.
–STS-1 — Used to refer to the electrical equivalent of
OC-1 (51.84 Mbps) supported by the T-BERD ⁄MTS
5800.
–STM-1e — Used to refer to the electrical equivalent of
STM-1 (155.52 Mbps) supported by the T-BERD ⁄MTS
5800.
–10/100/1000 Ethernet — Used to represent 10/100/
1000 Mbps Ethernet. The connector panel also uses 10/
100/1000 to identify the connector used for 10/100/
1000 Mbps Ethernet testing.
–1GigE — Used to represent 1 Gigabit Ethernet.
–10GigE — Used to represent 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
–JDSU Ethernet test set — A test set marketed by JDSU
and designed to transmit an Acterna Test Packet (ATP)
payload. These packets carry a time stamp used to calcu-
late a variety of test results. The T-BERD ⁄MTS 5800,
FST-2802 TestPad, the SmartClass Ethernet tester, the
HST with an Ethernet SIM, the T-BERD/MTS 8000 Trans-
port Module, and the T-BERD/MTS 6000A MSAM can all
be configured to transmit and analyze ATP payloads, and
can be used in end-to-end and loopback configurations
during testing.
