The OptiView® XG is the first tablet specifically designed for the network
engineer. It automates root-cause analysis of wired and wireless network and
application problems allowing the user to spend less time on troubleshooting
and more time on other initiatives. It is designed to support the deployment
and troubleshooting of new technologies, including unified communications,
virtualization, wireless and 10 Gbps Ethernet. The result is that new initiatives
get up and running faster and networks stay productive even in these days of
smaller teams.

Innovative Design and Powerful Custom Hardware Speeds the Job of Network Engineers
Tablet Form Factor
OptiView XG provides a wide range of functionality to adapt to the dynamic and diverse networks of today, in a convenient tablet for use
anywhere in the network. It is the only tool that provides the capabilities to analyze and troubleshoot applications, wired networks (1 GbE, 10 GbE)
and wireless networks (802.11a/b/g/n) from the perspective of either remote or local users. The unique tablet form factor designed specifically for
network engineers provides the mobility to troubleshoot anywhere in the network, from the engineer's desk, in the data center or at the end-user
location.

Key Features
Portable - The XG is extremely portable. It is 14 inches (36 cm) measured diagonally. At just under 6 pounds (2.5kg) and 2 inches (5 cm) thin, the XG
can be used anywhere.
Multiple wireless adapters - The XG has two W i-Fi adapters and one spectrum adapter built-in. The multiple adapters along with the portability make
WLAN analysis and troubleshooting easy as you do not need to swap adapters or have extra external hardware.
High-resolution display - A large, 10.25 inch high-resolution 1024x728 LCD display is remarkably crisp and vivid making it perfect for viewing and
analyzing large amounts of data at once.
Extendable 2 hours of battery life - The XG can be used for up to 4 hours on the battery for wired and wireless analysis (or 2 hours for wired AND
wireless analysis). The batteries are hot swappable which means the XG can be used for a much longer time without losing data.
Connectivity - The XG supports 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps fiber, 10/100M and 1 Gbps dual-port copper and 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN.
Performance - The XG runs Windows® 7 (64-bit, SP1) with 4 GB of RAM. It has a 128 GB solid state removable drive. The XG obtains its processing
power from an Intel® Core™ Duo 1.2 GHz processor. The XG is capable of 10 Gbps full line-rate capture and has a 4 GB dedicated capture buffer.

Intuitive User Interface with Customizable Dashboards, Smart Navigation and Easy Reporting
User Configurable Dashboards
Present the relevant data to the right audience. OptiView XG has
extensively customizable dashboards that transform collected data into
an actionable presentation. The dashboard can be customized for a
particular user or for the entire enterprise. Create dashboards for
keeping an eye on network and applications by site or even by business
function. Save and export them to different members of your team. The
dashboard provides an at-a-glance overview of the current status of your
network with critical metrics from routers, switches, firewalls, servers,
services, and other infrastructure devices. Even remote users can set up
dashboards to get their own view of network operations.
Customizable Dashboards
Network and Application Issue Reporting Engine
OptiView XG offers a number of built-in reports, making it quick and easy
to report on application and network problems. While viewing a screen,
press the Reports key to generate HTML or PDF reports on protocols,
top hosts, top conversations, devices, networks, problems and many
more.
Customize out-of-the-box reports and create completely customized
reports using the configurable dashboards in just a few clicks. The ability
to choose what data to populate in a report enables users to quickly see
the information needed. You can even create reports for specific user
profiles, making it easy to generate reports for specific departments or
recipients.
Customizable Reporting
Problem Alerting and Notification – SNMP Trap and Syslog Messages
OptiView XG scans the entire network infrastructure, identifying issues and bringing them to your attention. When problems are discovered, XG
utilizes the on-board Windows Event Log, SNMP service and syslog agent to send problem notifications to the user's network management
system (via SNMP Traps or syslog messages), where they can be routed to the appropriate technician.
4 of 10
Problem Alerting and Notification – HeadsUp™ XG Mobile App
With the new HeadsUp XG mobile app for Apple iOS (available free via the Apple
iStore), you get real-time notifications from your OptiView XG tablet(s). Instant
notification means you're always "in touch" with your network, and seeing critical
problems even before users start calling the help desk!
Use HeadsUp XG to browse your OptiView XG units, and drill down into problems on
the Problem Log. The affected devices and specific problems are reported, along with
the severity of the problem (Error, Warning, Info) and time detected. Problems that
have been resolved are also indicated, and the time the resolution was detected. The
app also includes a detailed Help file, or onboard "expert", providing background
information about the type of problem, how it can be caused and what can be done to
resolve it. Having visibility of problems in the palm of your hand allows you to react
more quickly when problems occur, and help you decide whether the particular problem
is a "red alert" or something that can wait, helping you manage your time more
effectively. Multiple users can use HeadsUp XG to access and get notifications from
your XG(s).
You can "clear" problems on the XG remotely from your iPhone or iPad, and through
the app's synchronization capability, the problems are cleared on the XG
simultaneously, and vice versa – problems cleared on the XG are automatically cleared
on your handheld device.
HeadsUp XG app for iOS
Remote User Interface and Access
Simply point a web browser at the IP address of a correctly configured
OptiView XG tablet to retrieve saved reports and capture files. You can
also install a remote User Interface (UI) and use your PC to remotely
access an OptiView XG over a TCP connection. Once the remote UI is
installed, simply give the interface the IP address of the OptiView XG
and see the default dashboards. You can then create your own remote
dashboards to get your own view of the network.
Communication between the OptiView XG and remote UI can be
encrypted. A single portable OptiView XG supports thirty-two remote
sessions for collaborative troubleshooting or opening of multiple
sessions on a PC to provide a remote "NOC" view. The OptiView XG
features a separate management port for "out-of-band management"
independent of the network under test port. When using the remote
interface, all dashboards created are stored on the user's PC, allowing
further customization for each remote user.

User Accounts
Add and modify security information for each individual OptiView XG user to prevent unauthorized use of certain features for compliance with
regulatory requirements or internal policies. For example, this allows users access to powerful troubleshooting features such as SNMP, while
keeping the community strings hidden. Features that can be disabled include packet capture and decode, traffic generation, remote user interface
and OptiView XG configuration.
Context Sensitive Help
Help is contextually linked to each screen in the OptiView XG. While the help screen is displayed, you may select other information from the table
of contents, choose an index entry, or perform a full text search on any help topic or term.
Removable Hard Drive
Essential for use on classified networks, this feature ensures any sensitive data stored on your network analyzer's hard drive never leaves that
environment. Network information discovered by the OptiView XG tablet is stored on the removable hard drive, allowing the OptiView XG to be
moved between classified environments and between classified and unclassified systems by simply removing and replacing the hard drive. Extra,
pre-configured drives are available (spare drives are pre-configured with Windows 7 OS and OptiView operating software).
