Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT)

Verify the integrity of the network from end-to-end with a

bit error rate test. Leave with a concise report. You don’t
need any surprises tomorrow.

RFC 2544 Testing

Quickly and easily validate circuits and service level agree-

ments with these industry-standard performance tests
including

Throughput, Latency , Packet Loss and Back to

Back Buffer Frames. Unique Dual port design allows tests
to be run with one unit or run remotely with remote unit

set to automatic mode. Pass/Fail results.

Ping, Trace Route, FTP and other Diagnostic
Tools

Use the Ping test to determine if a particular host is
reachable across an IP network. If the host is not found

then the Trace Route utility can guide the user to diag-
nose at what point the end-to-end connection is being

disrupted. Measure cable length and use the Wire Map
tool to detect shorts, opens and polarity reversals. FTP
test measures the average, min and max download

speed.

Multi-Stream Traffic Generation

Generate constant, burst or ramped traffic for up to 500
stations in order to preload the network, detect problems

and preempt a disaster at turn up. Each stream can be
sent with its own

MAC, IP, VLAN, priority, Q-in-Q, Frame

Size, TOS/DSCP, bandwidth, protocol, stream loading,
traffic shape etc.

QoS Testing

The ParaScope GigE is the ideal for performing QoS verifi-

cation of metro Ethernet networks. It offers VLAN priori-
ties and specific settings (TOS etc.) helping service pro-
viders ensure QoS expectations are met.

Comprehensive Statistics/Filtering

Let the ParaScope GigE provide you with all the traffic
statistics so that you know what is really running over
that network. You will know the bandwidth utilization,

frame sizes, protocols, number of CRC errors, and much
more. And, best of all you can easily filter out layer 2/3/4

traffic based on MAC/IP to quickly focus in on the root
cause of a problem. Wow! A network analyzer in your
hand.
