1. Introduction
1.1 NuWIN
NuWIN provides a powerful and sophisticated virtual front panel to manage the
NuStreams-2000i and NuStreams-600 chassis. Each test port can be independently
configured with parameters to define streams, filters, and capture capabilities. Traffic
for various network protocols can be customized, transmitted, and received on each
port. Comprehensive statistics provide users an in-depth analysis of the performance of
the DUT (Device Under Test).
NuWIN has a flexible and intuitive interface to control test modules in a single or
multiple chassis through a click of the mouse. Any combination of test modules can be
inserted into NuStreams chassis and be instantly identified.
Each port can be configured to analyze and count packets to match user-defined
criteria, such as source and destination MAC addresses, custom patterns, errors, and
frame size ranges. Each port is equipped with capture memory, which can store
packets in real time. A comprehensive set of user-defined triggers and filters is
available based on source and/or destination MAC and/or IP addresses, data patterns,
and error conditions.
NuWIN is designed to allow multiple users to access individual ports of every test
module installed. This feature enables users to execute their own tests on the ports
assigned to them without disrupting other users on the system.

All chassis help administrators utilize full range of features available in each module
card and configure frame content. NuStreams-2000i can be structured as a chain of
chassis via the front-panel connections of XM-2S19 (10/100 Mbps) or XM-2S8G
(1Gbps)—up to 256 of them. Daisy-chaining of 8 NuStreams-2000i has been
successfully tested.
Designed for laboratorial and manufacturing testing, administrators can remotely
monitor and control it with Client-Server architecture in host application using NuWIN,
which offers complete configuration, control, and monitoring of all DUT.
NuWIN provides Group Panel for simultaneously configuring/controlling packets
through selected ports, and its X-Trailer appendage function serves as verification of
the forwarding packets. The front panel display of NuStreams-2000i/600 gives
immediate indication of link status, transmission or reception of packets, and error
conditions.
The receive-counters reveal detailed testing information, and Windows-based platform
offers user-friendly UI. Administrators can configure and control the unit directly by
sending commands via the front-panel connections of XM-2S8G (NuStreams-2000i)
and XM-2S23 (NuStreams-600) to the rest of the module cards. NuStreams-2000i is
driven by an Intel Pentium based IPC running Windows XP and NuStreams supplied
software, and each chassis may be directly connected to a monitor, keyboard and
mouse. NuStreams-2000i/600 is typical to connect all chassis via an Ethernet network
and run the NuWIN or C++ API based software on one or more external workstation.
NuStreams software runs on any Windows XP Professional/Advanced Server based
system.

2.1.4 Port Hardware
The ports on the NuStreams card modules which plug into the NuStreams Chassis
provide high-speed sophisticated transmit, capture and statistics operations.
2.1.4.1 Matrix
1 to 1024 packets can be sent as a batch repeatedly with Ethernet packet, CRC Bit,
CRC Error, Alignment Error, Packet Length and Preamble Length configuration.
2.1.4.2 Packets
Packets may contain a counted number of frames or a continuous set of frames when
Continuous mode is used. Frames are separated by programmable Inter-Packet Gaps
(IPG). The size of the Inter-Packet Gaps depends on the particular NuStreams module
in use. The placement of Inter-Packet Gaps is shown below:
Counted of Infinite (for Continuous packets)
2.1.4.3 Frame Data
The contents of every packet are programmable in terms of structure and data content.
The programmable fields are:
Preamble size—depends on the particular NuStreams card module used.
Frame size—depends on the particular NuStreams card module used.
Destination and Source MAC Addresses—allows the MAC addresses to be set to
a constant or vary randomly or increment/decrement under a mask.
Data generators—five different data generators are available. The generators are
listed below; the values from later generators overwrite data from earlier ones.
• Protocol related data—formatted to correspond to particular data link, transport
and protocol conventions. Data link layer controls allow for Ethernet II and
802.3 SNAP formatting, with support for VLANs. Protocol specific data for
XTRAMUS TECHNOLOGIES
®
27
E-mail: sales@xtramus.com
Websi t e: www.Xt ram u s.c om
formatting ARP, IP and IPX packets (such as source and destination IP address)
is also supported.
• Data patterns—either pre-defined patterns up to 2k bytes in length, randomly
generated data or algorithmically generated data.
• DA/SA and DIP/SIP configuration is provided. By choosing between VLAN Tag,
MPLS Tag, MPLS Tunnel Tag, offset can be set through the window TxUDF. Or,
if the user defined is chosen, offset value can be configured. Various items can
be chosen individually or simultaneously through the window of MPLS or VLAN
Setup.
• Frame Identity Record (FIR)—an identity record stored at the end of the packet.
The information is very useful for determining the source of transmitted data
found in capture buffers.
• Frame Check Sequence (FCS)—the checksum for packets may be omitted,
formatted correctly or inserted with deliberate errors. Deliberate errors include
incorrect checksum, dribble errors, and alignment errors.

2.2 NuStreams Software
2.2.1 NuWIN (NuStreams Window)
NuWIN is an interactive GUI-based software interface, which allows all features of the
NuStreams hardware to be programmed and operated. The programming paradigm
calls for each port to be individually set up, and included facilities for copying port
configuration from one port to others. A number of displays are available for viewing
captured packets, statistics and port latency.
2.2.1.1 Chassis Chain
Chassis Chain is a set of NuStreams chassis. The NuStreams chassis chain
corresponds to the hardware chain.
2.2.1.2 Chassis
Chassis is a single NuStreams chassis capable of holding different NuStreams module
cards. The ID of each chassis must be set (XM-2S19); the type of the chassis is
automatically discovered by the software (NuStreams-2000i). A chassis may hold any
mix of module cards.
2.2.1.3 Card
The types of cards loaded in a chassis and the appropriate number of ports are
automatically detected. Each port on a card has the same capabilities.
2.2.1.4 Port
The NuStreams port corresponds to an individual port on a NuStreams module card.
Each port is independently programmed in terms of its transmit, capture and statistics
capabilities. The NuStreams software shows four separate views for programming and
viewing operations:
Address Tables—sets up a range of MAC addresses for which the port will
respond to ARP requests and PING requests.
Packet Generator
XTRAMUS TECHNOLOGIES
®
29
E-mail: sales@xtramus.com
Websi t e: www.Xt ram u s.c om
Packet Flows—defines the streams within stream regions and the contents of
packets.
Capture View—shows the data gathered during capture operations. Data is
displayed in raw form and interpreted for the corresponding protocols.
Counter Window—shows the real time statistics gathered during transmit and
receive operation.
2.2.1.5 Port Properties
A Port Properties dialog allows other port related properties to be programmed:
MII controls—low-level physical controls, such as 10 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps
operation and full duplex vs. half duplex.
Advanced MII controls—additional low level MII register controls.
Flow control—related to pause control operation.
Collision Backoff Algorithm—handling of collision situations.
Transmit mode—the choice of streams or flows for the port.
Forced Collisions—the generation of collision packets on receive ports.
2.2.1.6 Counter Window
Counter windows let users consider a set of ports at once. Select ports through the port
mapping function to view the counter windows for the assigned ports simultaneously.
In addition to NuWIN, individual manual for C++, an API, which allows programmers
conversant with the C++ programming language to control all applications of
NuStreams hardware operation, or other applications are also available.

2.2.2 NuApps-2889
NuApps-2889 is a user-friendly Windows-based application software program
containing an enhanced GUI with real-time graphing. NuApps-2889 meets the testing
requirements in RFC-2285 and RFC-2889, including Forwarding Rate, Congestion
Control, Address Learning Rate, Address Caching Capacity, Errored Frame Filtering,
Broadcast Forwarding Rate, Broadcast Latency, and Forward Pressure. It generates
heavy bursts of multidirectional traffic with various protocols to test 10/100/100 Mbps
Ethernet networks.
2.2.3 NuAPI
NuAPI is an application programming interface provided for the development of
programs for MPT (Mass Production Testing) operations, which enhances efficiency
when running multiple tests on DUT. NuAPI includes Microsoft Visual C++ Library and
Borland C++ Builder Library. Xtramus provides the services of developing MPT
programs for the clients.
2.2.4 NuApps-2544
NuApps-2544 is a user-friendly and automated test suite based on industry-standard
RFC-1242 and RFC-2544 to analyze the performance of Ethernet switches, bridges,
and routers using NuStreams chassis. The multiple topologies supported by NuApps-
2544 and the load generation capabilities and the measurement accuracy of
NuStreams chassis provide users an effective way to accurately evaluate the
Throughput, Latency, Packet Loss, and Back-to-Back of a DUT or SUT in One-to-One,
One-to-Many, and Many-to-One configurations.
2.2.5 NuApps-ACPower
NuApps-ACPower is a practical and effective virtual panel to operate AC power monitor
and control module card XM-2WL1 in NuStreams chassis. The flexible interface helps
XM-2WL1 to collect long term power measurement information from the DUT in order
to be reviewed and alalyzed directly from an outlet power or remotely across a network
using NuStreams chassis.
