Getting Started
The GTS1063 and GTS1250 GBIC Test System are tools for GBIC (Gigabit
Interface Converter) designers and users (GTS1250 for gigabit ethernet and the
GTS1063 for fibre channel) that provide a quick, consistent, and reliable
platform for supporting GBIC transceivers in a number of required applications.
The GBIC Test System provides a trap door into which you can plug a standard
GBIC. The front panels with a GBIC installed are shown in Figure 1. A GBIC is
an industry standard module that converts input digital electrical signals (ECL)
to optical amplitude modulation outputs and accepts optical amplitude modula-
tion signals as input and converts them to digital electrical signals (ECL).

The GBIC Test System provides industry standard 1.25 Gb/s (GTS1250) or
1.0625 Gb/s (GTS1063) digital signals to drive your GBIC transmitter (plugged
into the receptacle) for test purposes; you can also drive your GBIC transmitter
using external patterns. The GBIC Test System provides electrical data outputs
and optionally performs serial clock recovery of the received GBIC signal (for
additional information on these and other outputs and inputs see Operating
Basics starting on page 9)
The GBIC Test System provides the following key features:

HTransmit clock out
HTransmit sync pulse out at the data frame rate
HReceive differential data out
HRecovered clock out (Option 01 only)
HRecovered data out (Option 01 only)
HBuffered receive data out (standard instrument only)
HProvides industry standard digital transmit test patterns: D21.5, PRBS7,
K28.7, K28.5, LONG (GTS1250), SHORT (GTS1250), CRPAT (GTS1063),
and CJTPAT (GTS1063)
HAccepts external data to drive a GBIC
HAccepts external or internal full rate serial clock
HReceives data from a GBIC
HAccepts industry standard gigabit serial data GBICs: this makes the
GTS1250 and GTS1063 useful in multimode, single-mode, short wave-
length, long wavelength, and even metallic twisted pair (copper) applications
HBit Error Rate Testing of gigabit serial data links: acts as an electrical-to-
optical (E-O) transducer and an optical-to-electrical (O-E) transducer for Bit
Error Rate Test (BERT) instruments
HProvides a cost effective, stand-alone stimulus for testing, demonstrating,
and developing O-E related time-domain waveform instruments (that is,
oscilloscopes with internal or external optical front-ends)
HSupplies a stand-alone optical and electrical gigabit serial data Tx source:
deterministic jitter measurements, random jitter measurements, eye-pattern
testing, and so forth
HDiagnostic tool for GBIC functionality tests: Tx failure and Rcv Loss-of-
Signal (LOS)
HThe differential receive signals from the GBIC host side connector often
require mask testing for compliance; the built-in 75–50 Wmin-loss
conversion network allows you to easily attach a 50 Woscilloscope or attach
a 50 Winput test device for such testing.
