Anritsu's MD1230B data quality analyser is an enhancement to the successful MD1230A test equipment family introduced in 2001 The MD1230B adds an uprated CPU for higher processing speeds, effectively doubling the operation response times

The new analyser can carry out performance test series, monitoring and analysis of wide-area Ethernet transmission equipment and systems using multiple stacked VLAN (virtual LAN) tags technology.

Together with the new power protocol modules, MU120121A (10/100/1000M Ethernet module) or MU120122A (Gigabit Ethernet module), it considerably enhances measuring efficiency and cost performance; key issues for system integrators, communication carriers and construction vendors specialising in Ethernet and IP transmission equipment.

The Windows XP operating system improves stability and reliability, and a pointing device has been added for user convenience.

Two new power protocol modules incorporate a powerful CPU on each test port - considerably enhancing the test capabilities both now and in the future.

These modules also offer backwards compatibility with the existing MD1230A, subject to an optionally available modification.

Up to 10 layers of VLAN (Virtual LAN) tags can be added to the MU120121A/MU120122A power protocol modules, enabling both connection and load test.

The TPID (tag protocol identifier) value can also be configured to any desired setting, allowing protocol frames with vendor's specific bespoke values.

In addition, unique IDs can be created to each generated traffic flow, enabling the detailed analysis of packet performance in the network.

A maximum of 32 real-time and 65,000 offline events can be monitored by the multiflow counter.

This allows flow counting for all 4096 possible VLANs, enabling the monitoring and recording of a whole host of network occurrences.
