1 Network Master Gigabit Ethernet Tester Introduction By Ole Sørensen Product manager Slide 1

2 Important Technology Background The market for GigE Installation and Maintenance testers is growing 20% annually. The market drivers are network migration from PDH/SDH to IP and high growth of VoIP, IPTV and data services New adoption of mobile network wire line backhaul services is one more driver for rapid growth of Ethernet deployments As Ethernet is becoming a standard transport media the market is now demanding high quantities of low cost dedicated GigE test equipment for basic Ethernet installation and maintenance as supplement to all-inone-box testers Slide 2

3 Why Users Need the NM GigE Tester Out-of-service testing Installation and commissioning of new Ethernet lines Operators normally verify quality/performance of new lines before they are taken into operation RFC 2544 defines tests describing the performance characteristics of these lines. RFC 2544 is typically used for bringing into service Easily test the quality of a communication line Loop back the NM GigE test signal using a cable or special configuration at the far end Tx Rx Ethernet Network Line under test Slide 3

4 Why Users Need the NM GigE Tester Ethernet Multistream testing is important: By sending several streams of traffic with different priority the user can verify that high priority traffic is transported better (i.e. has lower frame loss ratio) through a congested network than low priority traffic. VoIP traffic is often given a high priority in order to ensure the quality of the service VLAN tag priority may be used to give high priority DSCP/TOS byte may be used to give high priority TCP/UDP port numbers may be used to give high priority Tx Rx Ethernet Network Line under test Slide 4

5 Why Users Need NM GigE Tester In-service analysis with pass through mode Live system troubleshooting E.g. transmission errors seen for both sides of the line simultaneously Bi-directional analysis gives best problem resolution Monitoring both directions of the line simultaneously Live system transmission performance analysis Bi-directional analysis monitors performance properly Ensure that traffic runs smoothly both ways Slide 5

6 Why Users Need NM GigE Tester Far end loop back is required for for applications like: Installation and commissioning testing. QoS verification End-to-end testing Instrument in reflector mode Tx Rx Ethernet Network Line under test Rx Tx Instrument in reflector mode Slide 6

7 Key Features to Remember Compact and handy - Perfect solution for installation and commissioning of Ethernet links Easy to use Large color screen Test Automator- makes it very easy for the field technician to make repeated sequences of tests Electrical cable test Ping test Throughput, frame loss, latency and packet jitter verification (RFC2544 option) End-to-end test (RFC2544 option) BER testing Traffic generation and reception Multiple stream test (option) Document measurements with PDF reports Slide 7

8 Key Features to Remember Designed for highly portable field use. Easily held with one hand Palm-size (190 x 96 x 48 mm) Approximately 2 lbs (800g) Battery operated 2 hours typical, 4 hour recharge Quick start up Start up in approx. 15 seconds Rugged Sealed design no vents or fans Color indoor/outdoor display standard 4.3 high resolution Large display compared to the size of the instrument Slide 8
