Dual test set Performs end-to-end, bidirectional performance testing (as required by leading standards bodies)—remote Packet Blazer controlled via the
LAN connection under test.
DHCP client Capability to connect to a DHCP server to obtain its IP address and subnet mask for connecting on to the network.
Smart Loopback Capability to return traffic to the local unit by swapping packet overhead up to layer 4 of the OSI stack.
TCP throughput measurements a Capability to evaluate TCP throughput and to provide performance results and statistics: window size with corresponding throughput,
number of transmitted and re-transmitted segments, round-trip time.
IPTV testing and analysis a, b Capability to measure and auto-discover 100 IPTV streams and provide IPTV statistics on a per stream basis: MDI (RFC 4445), PCR jitter
(TR 101 290 priority 1) transmission rate, instantaneous rate, percentage of utilization, virtual buffer size, UDP/IP port number, packet size
and packet count, threshold alarm reporting and alias table. Also supports IGMPv2.
802.3ah OAM testing a Capability to test Ethernet OAM as per IEEE 802.3ah including connection establishment, OAM protocol statistics and loopback control.
IP tools Capability to perform ping and traceroute functions.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Expert mode Ability to set thresholds in RFC 2544 and BERT mode to provide a pass/fail status.
Scripting b The built-in Visual Basic .NET scripting engine and embedded macrorecorder provide a simple means of automating test cases and
routines. Embedded scripting routines provide a powerful means of creating advanced test scripts.
Event logger Supports logging of test results, and the ability to print, export (to a file) or export the information contained in the logging tool.
Power up and restore In the event of a power failure to the unit, the active test configuration and results are saved and restored upon bootup.
Save and load configuration Ability to store and load test configurations to/from non-volatile memory.
Configurable test views b Allows users to customize their test views; i.e., to dynamically insert or remove test tabs/windows, in addition to creating new test
windows, so as to accurately match their testing needs.
Report generation Ability to generate test reports in the following user-selectable formats: .pdf, .html, .txt and .csv.
Screen capturing Capability to gather a snap-shot of the screen for future use.
Logger printing c Capability to send logger messages to a supported local printer.
Graph Allows to graphically display the test statistics of the performance (RFC 2544) and frame analysis tests.
Configurable test timer Allows the user to set a specific start and stop time for tests.
Remote control Remote control through Visual Guardian Lite software or VNC.
Test favorites Capability to select and load from predefined or user-modified test configurations.
