Product Overview
Agilent N2X is the industry’s
most comprehensive test solution
for testing the development and
deployment of network services for
converging network infrastructures.
Service providers, network
equipment manufacturers (NEMs),
and component manufacturers can
verify service attributes of entire
networks end-to-end, while also
isolating problems down to individual
networking devices and subsystems.
Agilent N2X has significantly
enhanced RouterTester 900, OmniBER
XM and SAN Tester, and combined
them into an integrated test solution.
What distinguishes N2X is its ability
to test leading-edge services such as
metro Ethernet, MPLS L2/3 VPNs,
Multicast and SAN services, over the
latest converging infrastructures such
as MPLS, IPv6 and next-generation
SONET/SDH, simultaneously in the
one test environment.
The Agilent N2X provides costeffective multi-port test system for
verifying the ultimate performance of
multi-services networks and devices
– from multi-channel simulation and
analysis of SDH and SONET standards,
to wire-speed packet generation,
through to simulation of Internetscale network topologies around
Multi Service Platforms, switches and
routers.
Agilent offers 3 types of N2X chassis
from a 2-slot portable unit to a 4-slot
platform which can be mounted in
a standard 19” rack or stacked on a
bench top.
N5540A 2-slot Portable Chassis
The chassis provides a convenient
platform for testing scenarios where
portability or small size is a factor. Two
different card types can be configured
simultaneously allowing for test
scenarios that use a combination of
port types.
N5541A 4-slot Chassis
The chassis provides a small, flexible
platform that can be either mounted
in a standard 19” rack or stacked on a
bench top. It can accommodate up to 4
test cards, providing added flexibility in
system configuration.
N5542A 4-slot Chassis with ext
BITS / MTS clock input
This version of the 4-slot chassis has the
capability to synchronize the transmit
clock on all the N2X XM test cards in
a system to a common source. Users
have a choice of four external reference
clock inputs for synchronization:
1.544 Mb/s BITS
•
2.048 Mb/s MTS
•
2.048 MHz
•
10 MHzT
