The JDSU TestPoint Group Controller is an optional single-slot module that plugs into slot 0 of the TestPoint TS-30 and TS-170 chassis. It provides the following main functions:

• Single local area network (LAN) (Static Internet Protocol [IP] or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP]) access point for test system management
• Enables a single IP address for an entire chassis when the TestPoint chassis contains multiple test modules
• Without the Group Controller, each module’s faceplate can be connected directly to the LAN
• Global test function capability to control testing across multiple modules within a chassis
• Synchronized test start for multiple modules
• Advanced clocking capabilities
• Expanded clocking features beyond those available on individual test modules
• Multiple external clock synchronization options
• Timing synchronization across entire chassis
