WAN Testing

All major WAN interfaces, including V.10/V.11, V.24/V.28/RS-232C, V.35 and

V.36/ RS-449/422/423 are already built into the instrument mainframe; X.21

(with J2277A external cable V.36/RS-449 to DB15) and RS-530 (with external

cable J2278A V.36/RS-449 to DB25) are also available. A separate High Speed

V-Series module with V.35, RS-449 and X.21 interfaces are available to supports

speeds up to 8.192 Mb/s. Other WAN interfaces, including ISDN basic rate

interfaces (BRI) S/T/U and primary rate interfaces (PRI), E3/DS3, E1/T1, OC-3/

STM-1, STM-1e/EC-3, HSSI, DDS 4-wire, are available as slide-in modules or as

undercradles.

Monitoring of LAN data over WAN and ATM is a standard feature. Real-time

monitoring of network conditions is a powerful testing capability to dig deeply

into the data if necessary.

The Agilent Advisor is a multitasking instrument; therefore users can perform

any of the active stimulus/response tests while the analyzer simultaneously

monitors their effect on the network.

Another powerful tool of the Advisor is traffic generation; it allows the

transmission of virtually any type of message or frame onto the network.

To provide statistical information about the data on the network, the Agilent

Advisor analyzes every frame and count user definable events. A number of

counters have been pre-defined.

The Advisor is equipped with standard Bit Error Ratio Testing (BERT) and is

capable of generating BERT patterns onto V-series, T1, E1, E3, or DS3 WAN

links.

It does not matter if testing needs are for Frame Relay at E3/DS3 or HSSI

speeds or for low speed links, such as Async and Bisync, the Advisor provides

all of this functionality under one single handle solution.
