Ethernet Test Set 1
1 Introducing the AXS-200/850
Ethernet Test Set
The AXS-200/850 Ethernet Test Set provides Ethernet testing capability on the
AXS-200. It supports one electrical interface through an RJ-45 connector and
one optical interface through a standard pluggable SFP. The AXS-200/850
Ethernet Test Set provides a comprehensive offering of test features such as
RFC 2544, BERT over IP, Traffic Generation & Monitoring, Smart Loopback,
Ping, Trace Route, Remote loopback, and Cable Test.
Features and Benefits
³
All-in-one unit for installing, turning up and maintaining Metro Ethernet
Circuits over IPv4/IPv6
³
User-definable RFC-2544 test routines
³
Asymmetrical network testing capability fully controlled from the local
module (DTS RFC 2544)
³
Bit-error-rate testing (BERT) up to layer 4
³
Traffic Generation & Monitoring test used for performance evaluation
of Ethernet or IP network
³
Ethernet cable testing: Category 3/Class C, Category 4, Category 5,
Category 5e/Class D, and Category 6e/Class E
³
Intelligent network auto discovery for simplified loopback testing and
asymmetrical network testing
³
Configurable VLAN with Q-in-Q capability
³
QoS, ToS, and Diffserv capabilities
³
Pass/Fail results (LED indicators) with user defined thresholds
³
Event logger for the Traffic Generation & Monitoring and BERT tests. It
provides an historical account of the events recorded while a test case
was running, including the threshold crossing events.
