Atec OptiView-XG User Manual

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.
Datasheet: OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet - Overview and General Information
Core capabilities
Network Analysis – Automated discovery, monitoring, analysis and guided troubleshooting of your network infrastructure Traffic and Packet Analysis – The ONLY tablet with 10 Gbps "On the wire" analysis Wireless Analysis – Integrated tools for deployment and troubleshooting of 802.11a/b/g/n WLANs Performance Testing – Conduct network assessments, validate new infrastructure and devices, test service provider SLAs, and
troubleshoot problems from end to end, at up to a full line-rate of 10 Gbps
For detailed information about each one of these core capabilities, see additional data sheets.
The Tablet for Network Engineers
The OptiView XG's unique tablet form factor provides the mobility to connect, analyze and troubleshoot anywhere in the network – at the desk, in the data center, or at the end user location. It can quickly analyze the performance and health of devices, interfaces and paths on your network— which moves beyond traditional LAN/WAN switching and routing to a true network fabric that incorporates heterogeneous physical devices, wireless networks, virtualized servers and networks.
Integrates the latest wired and wireless technologies with powerful dedicated hardware in a unique tablet form factor providing mobility to connect, analyze and solve network and application problems anywhere on the network Displays your network exactly the way you want to see it through intuitive, customizable dashboards Provides performance testing, 'on-the-wire' and 'in-the-air' automated analysis up to 10 Gbps Enables proactive analysis by analyzing the information you need before problems arise Out-of-the-box and customizable reports

Network Analysis
For further information, see detailed data sheet
Real-time discovery engine finds and tracks up to 30,000 devices – hosts, phones, switches, routers, access points, servers and more Unique Path Analysis provides graphical view of the path between a user and application resources (local, remote, or cloud-based) and visually indicates performance data or problems on critical links and devices along the path Allows visibility of intermittent problems by collecting and monitoring granular data rather than the aggregated data collected by typical network management systems Automatically detects problems in the network and suggests resolution procedures
Measure performance of your VMware® environment, including hypervisor availability, interface utilization, and resource usage levels Real-time NetFlow data finds bandwidth hogs
Traffic and Packet Analysis
For further information, see detailed data sheet
Ensures line-rate packet capture up to 10 Gbps for troubleshooting difficult application problems Performs application-centric analysis with a high-level view of the applications on the network with easy drill down capability Real-time traffic analysis shows top hosts, top conversations, top protocols – who is using your bandwidth Go directly in-line (up to 1 Gbps) to observe traffic in real-time or capture at line rate without the need of an external tap
Wireless Analysis
For further information, see detailed data sheet
Enables analysis of the WLAN environment using the award-winning AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer, Spectrum XT, Survey and Planning tools Find rogue clients and access points that could be jeopardizing the security of your network Identify and find sources of RF interference that impact the performance of your WLAN Quickly troubleshoot WLAN performance issues – configuration problems, co-channel interference, slow clients Discovery and querying of wireless LAN controllers provides information about wireless networks across your enterprise
Performance Testing
For further information, see detailed data sheet
Test service provider SLAs, troubleshoot network bottlenecks, validate new architectures, and assess networks for new technology or application deployments Measures end-to-end network performance in terms of bandwidth, latency, jitter, loss and availability up to 10 Gbps Testing at operational speeds (less than line-rate) in conjunction with Path Analysis reveals network bottlenecks Class-of-Service testing and multiple test streams (up to 8 simultaneous) ensures availability and performance of QoS throughout your network, and whether carrier links are supporting QoS

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.
