Line Interface Module (LIM)- Specifications
General
Network Analyzer LIMs provide physical layer and link layer connectivity to the
embedded data acquisition and real-time systems in these products:
- J6801B DNA
- J6802B DNA MX
- J6803B DNA PRO

They also gather physical and link layer statistics. For example, LIMs handling ATM
provide real-time AAL-2 and AAL-5 reassembly on thousands of virtual channels
simultaneously, and provide ATM and AAL error statistics. All LIMs have the hardware
resources to generate traffic for their associated network technologies.

Connection Configurations
Depending on the type of LIM, they provide any of the following connection
configurations:
- WAN Terminated Mode – uses one input and one output of WAN LIMs
- WAN Bridged Monitor Mode – uses both inputs and outputs of WAN LIMs for
bi-directional monitoring at test access points; high input impedance should
normally be selected.
- WAN Jack Monitor Mode – uses both inputs of WAN LIMs only for bi-
directional monitoring at protected monitor points.
- WAN Through Monitor Mode – uses both inputs and outputs of WAN LIMs
providing bi-directional repeater functionality plus bi-directional monitoring
functionality. Each receiver input is terminated.
- LAN Node Mode – uses an interface port of LAN LIMs to transmit and receive
- LAN Monitor Mode – uses both interface ports of LAN LIMs to monitor traffic
passively between two devices
The operation of the physical interface is often critical in determining the cause of
network problems. Therefore, the acquisition system tracks errors at the physical layer.
Signal events are recorded on the display for both the line (network) side as well as the
equipment (user/subscriber) side. The time of the last occurrence of a particular event is
recorded as well.

Advanced Statistics
LIMs provide advanced statistics for layer 1 and 2 measurements. Please refer to the
Network Analyzer Technical Overview for a detailed description of the following statistics
performed in LIMs:
- Physical Layer Status and Link Layer (VPI.VCI and DLCI) Statistics
- Common Statistics (cell mode ATM, frame mode ATM, and Frame Relay)
- ATM Statistics (cell mode)
- ATM Statistics (frame mode)
- Frame Relay Statistics
- Length Statistics (frame mode ATM, and Frame Relay)
- ATM Policing
- ATM Usage Expert (Traffic Contract Estimation)
- 1-Point CDV
- Traffic Generation

J6810B STM-4/OC-12/STM-1o/OC-3 LIM
(622.080/155.520 Mbps)

J6810B STM-4/OC-12/STM-1o/OC-3 LIM

General
The dual-rate LIM handles ATM, Packet over SONET/SDH and Frame Relay at 622 Mbps
and 155 Mbps, and performs ATM and WAN analysis on lower-rate sub-
multiplexes/tributaries down to fractional E1/DS1 rates.

When analyzing ATM at any supported rate, real-time AAL-2 and AAL-5 reassembly is
performed simultaneously on up to 5120 virtual channels and the resulting frames are
passed from the LIM to the acquisition system for further analysis. Cell mode is also
available. ATM Policing can be performed on up to 1024 virtual circuits in frame mode or
cell mode simultaneously with other measurements.

The functionality of this LIM can be enhanced with the addition of the J6828A Dual 4-
Port STM-1/OC-3 External LIM.

The LIM has dual-rate optical interfaces and can be used in single-mode or multi-mode
environments; when used in multi-mode environments, 10 dB attenuators should be used
on the optical outputs (a pair of suitable attenuators is supplied with the LIM).

Note: Both SDH and SONET framing are fully supported in this LIM; the SDH terminology
is given first (that is, SDH/SONET); SONET terminology has recently changed and the
newer terminology is used here with older terms shown in parentheses, where
appropriate.

J6824A Multi-port E1/T1 LIM

J6824A Multi-port E1/T1 LIM

The Multi-port E1/T1 LIM has 8 ports, which are configurable for E1 or T1 framing. Each
port on the LIM uses an 8-pin Modular connector (wired as RJ-48C), suitable for
balanced 100 Ohm T1, or 120 Ohm E1 interfacing, or unbalanced 75 Ohm E1 interfacing.
Three cable options are available, each providing a set of eight cables terminated with
RJ-48C connectors at one end for plugging into the LIM and option-specific male
connectors on the other end:
- option #001: RJ-48C to pairs of male Bantam connectors
- option #002: RJ-48C to pairs of 75 Ohm BNC connectors
- option #003: RJ-48C to RJ-45 wired 8-pin Modular connectors (swaps
cable pairs between RJ-48C pins [1,2]/[4,5] to RJ45 pins [5,4]/[6,3],
respectively).

This LIM can provide analysis of IMA (Inverse Multiplexing for ATM) traffic, multi-port
ATM, Multi Link PPP, Multi-Link Frame Relay, Multi-Link HDLC, channelization with HDLC
(SS7, Frame Relay and ISDN) or TRAU 16K framing for the Agilent Signaling Analyzer,
and multi-port ISDN decodes. The IMA analysis requires, additionally, the presence of the
J6825A Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) and Multi-Link WAN Technologies software
product. Real-time (full rate) AAL 2 and AAL 5 reassembly is performed simultaneously
on more than 5120 virtual channels on aggregated IMA traffic or on each port of multi-
port ATM and the resulting frames passed from the LIM to the acquisition system for
further analysis. Cell mode is also available.

Common features of all 8 Ports:
Receiver Modes:
- Bridged (High Impedance), Terminated, Monitor Jack, and Thru/Bridged.
- Bridged, Terminated and Monitor Jack modes use two receivers per port
connected to pins [1,2] and [4,5] of the 8-pin Modular connector providing full
duplex 8 port monitoring (also see below for details on the J6826A and
J6827A monitor taps)
- Thru/Bridged monitoring of signals uses pairs of ports (1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8).
Signals on port 1 and port 2 (pins [1,2] and [4,5]) are connected together to
pass through the customer data which is monitored by two receivers set to
Bridged (High Impedance) mode. Ports 3 and 4, ports 5 and 6, and ports 7 and
8 are similarly set to Thru/Bridged mode providing 4 port Thru/Bridged full
duplex monitoring.

J6826A Eight-Port T1/E1 Balanced
Monitor Tap (up to 2 Mbps)

J6826A Eight-Port T1/E1 Balanced Monitor Tap

General
Eight full-duplex T1/E1 links are passed through the Monitor Tap using pairs of Modular
8-pin (RJ45 type) connectors (all eight pins of each connector are passed through). The
two data signals on connector pins [1,2] and [4,5] of each connector pair are wired to
attenuator resistors to provide a 20 dB Monitor Jack circuit that can be directly
connected to the J6824A Eight-Port T1/E1 LIM. Eight 3-foot RJ48C to RJ48C cables are
supplied with the Monitor Tap for connection to the J6824A LIM.

Specifications
- Insertion Loss: <0.5 dB
- Attenuation: -20.7 dB nominal for T1
- Attenuation: -19.3 dB nominal for E1
- Maximum data rate: 2.048 Mbps

J6827A Eight-Port E1 BNC

Monitor Tap (up to 2 Mbps)

General
Eight full-duplex E1 75 Ohm BNC ports are passed through the Monitor Tap using pairs
of pass through BNC to BNC connections, and each of these links are wired to attenuator
resistors to provide a 20 dB Monitor Jack circuit. The monitor tap contains impedance
conversion transformers to change these signals from unbalanced 75 Ohm to balanced
120 Ohm outputs for direct connection to the J6824A Eight-Port T1/E1 LIM. Eight 3-foot
RJ48C to RJ48C cables are supplied with the Monitor Tap for connection to the J6824A
LIM.

Specifications
- Insertion Loss: <0.7 dB
- Attenuation: -22.4 dB nominal
