This unit

The Agilent/Keysight E1616A is a single-slot line interface module for the E4200/E4210 Broadband Series Test System designed to generate and analyze ATM cell streams over DS1 (1.5 Mb/s) and DS3 (45 Mb/s) framing formats. It enables physical and ATM cell layer testing for comprehensive evaluation of high-speed ATM transmission and protocol performance across R&D, product development, field trials, and QA environments.


Technical Specifications

Line Interface & Framing

  • Operates over DS1 at 1.5 Mb/s and DS3 at 45 Mb/s

  • DS3 direct mapping compliant with ANSI draft T1S1/94-243

  • DS3 PLCP mapping compliant with UNI Version 3.0

  • DS1 direct mapping compliant with ITU recommendation G.804

  • DS1 PLCP mapping compliant with Bellcore TR-TSV-000773 Issue 1 (June 1991) Traffic Generation & Analysis

  • Internal traffic generator with 1 foreground channel

  • Up to 100 background channels for load simulation

  • Support for fill cells to occupy unused bandwidth

  • ATM cell capture: up to 1500 cells (manual or event-triggered)

  • PLCP frame capture: 256 frames with pre/post-trigger buffering

  • Cell error, loss, and delay measurement capability

  • Traffic playback from captured data


Key Features



  • Selectable DS1 or DS3 operational mode

  • Direct or PLCP mapping selection

  • Terminal, Repeater, and Local Loopback operational modes

  • Physical layer measurements

  • Error and alarm generation for stress testing

  • Manual and event-triggered capture with asymmetric pre/post buffering (750/750 cells for ATM; 128/128 frames for PLCP)

  • Optional integration with E4209 Cell Protocol Processor for enhanced test traffic generation


Typical Applications The E1616A supports validation and troubleshooting of ATM network equipment across development, manufacturing, and deployment phases through cell-layer traffic generation, error injection, and comprehensive performance analysis.


Compatibility & Integration Designed exclusively for the Agilent/Keysight E4200/E4210 Broadband Series Test System as a single-slot module. Works with the optional E4209 Cell Protocol Processor for extended protocol testing capabilities.

Agilent / Keysight E1616A — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1616A. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.

Common Agilent / Keysight E1616A faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
