SmartBits
Product Overview
Spirent Communications’ SmartBits 2000 (SMB-2000)
has become the industry standard for measuring the performance limits of everything from an emerging technology in a development lab to the largest enterprise network.
The SMB-2000 is widely used to test a variety of network
devices and complex network configurations, including
10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, and Frame
Relay.
Each SMB-2000 chassis can be configured with any
combination of up to 20 single-port SmartCards. SMB2000 test systems are completely scaleable and may be
grouped to support 640 ports with local or remote control
over the Internet.
The SMB-2000 is Designed for:
■
Network Equipment Manufacturers: Perform compre
hensive performance analysis for engineering, produc-
tion, and QA testing.
■
Evaluation Labs: Test and certify different devices
from various manufacturers to benchmark their per-
formance.
■
Telcos and ISPs: Perform end-to-end testing to check
for trouble spots and weaknesses.
■
Enterprise Users: Test end-to-end performance to
monitor throughput and prevent overload.
SMB-2000 Features
■
Accommodates a comprehensive set of powerful,
technology-based SmartCards for Ethernet, ATM,
and Frame Relay.
■
Bundled with three PC-based software applications
for comprehensive performance analysis
(SmartWindow
™
, SmartLib™, and SmartApplications™).
2000
■
Supports a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection to a host PC.
■
Provides remote control through the Internet. Can also
be controlled via an RS-232 port.
■
Provides GPS Support. You can remotely synchronize
the timing mechanism of multiple chassis by using the
external GPS kit. This allows accurate measurement of
one-way latency and jitter, 100-ns accuracy time
stamps, and system start/stop.
■
One workstation can control up to eight SmartBits
stacks (32 chassis with a total of 640 ports) via
SmartLib.
■
Multiple users can simultaneously access the SMB-
2000.
■
Includes RJ-45 expansion-in and expansion-out jacks.
Accepts external 10 MHz clock signals.
■
Up to 512 chassis can be synchronously connected by
using SmartBits multi-chassis extension units.
