Upgrade for data quality analyser
Anritsu's MD1230B data quality analyser is an enhancement to the successful MD1230A test equipment family introduced in 2001.
Analyser to sniff out network nuances
Anritsu is to integrate Network Associates' award-winning Sniffer technology into its MD1230A data quality analyser.
Since its standardisation in June 2002, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which can also be used in the WAN environment, is easily connectable with the existing SDH/Sonet network.
The MU120118A was developed to evaluate network equipment with 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and the Xenpak module, allowing the MD1230A data quality analyser to handle interfaces in a 10Mbit-10Gbit range, expanding available test capability.
The MU120118A module, which conforms to the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard, has two 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface ports for signal input/output, to enable cost effective evaluation of network equipment performance.
Using the Xenpak module, the module can also achieve various measurement solutions with minimum equipment investment.
Xenpak module performance can also be evaluated using BER (bit error rate) measurement functionality.
With the MD1230A it is possible to perform many necessary measurements, including throughput measurement and latency measurement.
It can also receive and capture frames at full wire rate, enabling troubleshooting analysis.
With this 10GbE module or any other in the product range.
Available since September 2002, the Anritsu MD1230A data quality analyser is a measuring instrument for evaluation and testing of core routers in high-speed backbone IP networks.
It is designed to measure the development, manufacture and maintenance of IP transceivers and systems covering the 10Mbit/s-100Gbit/s bitrate range.
Until now, special measuring instruments have been necessary for measuring IP transceiver load test function and IP network monitoring functions.
Integrating these two functions, the MD1230A by itself can complete all measuring requirements, from network performance evaluation to network monitoring.
