Key Features

• Tests as a Non-intrusive In-line Analyzer
• Analyze and Decode HS1760 Messages
• Simulate a 1760 Network Controller or Network Terminal

This solution consists of a single function Fibre Channel Analyzer APG-HS1760SF which can also emulate Network Controller (NC) or Network Terminal (NT) functions (one at a time). When simulating an NC or NT, it runs the Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) FC-AE-1553 command set. The simulator can also analyze the Fibre Channel link, including providing information on FC-1 link initialization information, and FC-2 protocol frame information.

An API with the FC-AE-1553 command set is included. AIT has developed the low-level API functions that are delivered with the hardware that enable the board to perform the emulation required on the HS1760 link. In addition, the fcXplorer software enables setting up and controlling the hardware analyzer interface. fcXplorer will monitor, decode, and display the data collected for post-processing. The AS5653 compliant 75-ohm Soft Form Pluggables (SFP) are optional. These special SFP are "non-standard" fibre channel, unique to HS1760 because the operating voltage was raised to account for multiple drops and distance.

Key Features

• Tests as a Non-intrusive In-line Analyzer
• Simulate Network Controllers and Network Terminals Simultaneously
• Analyze and Decode HS1760 Messages
• Corrupt the Data Traffic between Two Devices In-line

This solution uses the full function Simulyzer APG-HS1760 that can emulate any NC or NT end-system as well as communicate to the switch fabricsing FFI extended link services. The product runs the FC-AE-1553 upper layer protocol as profiled in the AS5653 specification for NC and NT simulation. The simulator can also analyze the HS1760 link including providing information on FC-1 link initialization information, FC-2 protocol frame information, and HS1760 upper layer protocol information.

Included is a command-line application that enables the user to perform HS1760 exchanges, including loopback between the two APG-HS1760 ports. The command-line application is delivered as source code and will simulate the following functions:

• Network Controller to Network Terminal
• Network Terminal to Network Controller

Key Features

• Non-intrusive In-line Analyzer
• Simulate Network Controllers and Network Terminals Simultaneously
• Analyze and Decode HS1760 Messages
• Corrupt the Data Traffic between Two Devices In-line
• Automated Validation and Verification NC or NT Tester

It is a complete HS1760 Protocol test suite as profiled under AS5653. The HS1760 Protocol Compliant Testing Solution has been demonstrated to the SAE working group for HS1760 and is currently under review as the test standard by SAE. It contains the entire HS1760 protocol test suite as profiled under AS5653. This solution consists of the full-function Simulyzer APG-HS1760 that can emulate any NC or NT end-system as well as communicate to the switch fabricusing FFI extended link services. In addition, there is a complete suite of software scripts to fully test protocol
compliance for NC and NT according to FC-AE-1553 as profiled by SAE AS5653 paragraph by paragraph. It includes a fully operational GUI that details a compliance report for NC or NT operation.

An upgrade from the first presented single function analyzer to the HS1760 Simulation and Switch Solution or to the HS1760 Protocol/Compliance Tester can be made without purchasing a new board. The same APG-HS1760 Simulyzer accommodates all the tests. A different set of firmware/software is used to implement the upgrade.
