ParaScope GigE

Advanced Test Set for 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet

The ideal tool for field engineers and technicians installing, maintaining, and

troubleshooting Metro Carrier and Campus Ethernet networks.

Main Features

 Rugged handheld test set with powerful features and smart navigation.
 Dual port 10/100/1000 Megabit electrical port and 100/1000 Megabit fiber port. .
 User defined test profiles and thresholds enable fast turn up of service.

locator, Cable Length, Optical Power Meter and Wire Map test.

 Ethernet BER testing at layer 1/2/3, with error insertion.
 RFC 2544 benchmark testing including; Throughput, Latency, Frame Loss and

Back-to-Back Buffer Capacity Frames tests with upstream and downstream modes.
Pass/Fail Results.

 Comprehensive layer 2/3/4 statistics and filtering. Detects MAC/IP collisions.
 Traffic generation and analysis for QoS verification of services such as triple play. Generate configur-

able constant, bursty or ramped traffic layer 2/3 traffic for up to 500 stations.

 (8) independent Multi-streams with configurable with MAC, IP, VLAN, priority, Q-in-Q, Frame Size,

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

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 agree­ments 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 diag­nose 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 verifi­cation of metro Ethernet networks. It offers VLAN priori­ties and specific settings (TOS etc.) helping service pro­viders 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.
