About the 25.6 Mb/s Interface Pod
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
Components
The interface pod has three operating modes: full duplex, internal
transmit loopback, and receive loopback.
The interface pod is shipped with

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:

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.

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.

Insert the interface pod into the analyzer.
See “To Insert the Interface Pod” on page 7. The procedure is the same for
all interface pods.
Connect 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.
If you want to change any of the configuration parameters, see “To
Manually Configure the Interface Pod” on page 11.

To Set Up the Interface Pod
To Insert the Interface Pod
You can insert and remove interface pods at any time, even when the
analyzer is powered on. Initially, you insert an interface pod when you set
up the analyzer. Subsequently, you insert an interface pod when you
change the physical layer interface that you want to monitor.
1
Hold the interface pod with the front panel connectors facing you and
the Hewlett-Packard logo facing upwards.
2
Insert the interface pod into Port 1 or Port 2 of the analyzer.
3
Push the interface pod firmly into the analyzer until the connector at
the rear is properly seated. The clip on the base of the interface pod
clicks into place when the interface pod is fully inserted.
Caution
You must always have two interface pods inserted in the the HP E5200A
Broadband Service Analyzer while it is operating. If your operations
require only a single interface pod, insert the blank interface pod
(provided with the analyzer) into the other port. The two interface pods
are necessary to maintain a balanced airflow for cooling of internal
components and to comply with EMC standards.

To Set Up the Interface Pod
To Remove the Interface Pod
Gently press on the clip
underneath the
interface pod and pull
the interface pod out of
the analyzer.
When you remove the interface pod, make sure you store it in a dust free
location that meets the environmental requirements listed in
“Environmental Specifications” on page 14. An electrostatic-safe bag has
been supplied for the storage of each interface pod.
To Connect to the System Under Test
Before you connect the interface pod to the system under test (SUT),
ensure that you have

unused bandwidth is handled at the physical line level by the transmit
drivers.
