The FrameScope™ Pro is Agilent’s handheld 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet
deployment and troubleshooting tool. With the FrameScope™ Pro, technicians
deploying Ethernet in Metro networks now have a fast, efficient and very cost
effective test solution for measuring bandwidth at line rates from 1 Mbit/s to 1
Gbit/s.
The FrameScope™ Pro’s color touch screen and online manuals make
it very easy to use and the predefined performance test suites allow the
technician to runs tests by pressing a single button.
The FrameScope™ Pro
also has a complete toolkit for testing enterprise networks: Agilent's unique
Autotest will measure the performance of network resources and services using
the same operations that an end user would execute, and then present detail on
each operation and compare the measured performance against predefined, yet
customizable performance metrics.
Features and
Benefits
- Supports 802.3z-compliant 10/100/1000BASE-T copper and 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX
gigabit fiber SFP interfaces.
- RFC 2544 performance benchmarking verifies throughput at full line rate on
both copper and fiber Ethernet interfaces at speeds from 1 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s.
- Autotest application performance testing allows for quick isolation of
protocol, configuration and resource performance problems.
- Automatic Network Discovery simplifies use and documents network resources
and stations
- Remote control via any web browser allows troubleshooting, monitoring, and
reporting from central office, eliminating costly dispatches
- Configurable VLAN and QoS settings
- Full-screen, color LCD displays clear and complete results
- Touch-screen interface and online manuals enhance ease of use.
Automatic Network Discovery
The FrameScope™ Pro
automatically surveys the network and displays all devices in a switched
network, giving support staff instant visibility into the IP and IPX devices on
different subnets, along with their MAC addresses, Network addresses, and
names.
Quickly Diagnose and Troubleshoot Network
Problems
With just a few clicks, FrameScope™ Pro allows you to
identify 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet utilization, broadcasts, collisions and
errors, or pinpoint incorrectly assigned subnet masks, misconfigured servers,
and duplicate IP addresses.
RFC 2544 Performance Benchmark
Testing From the People Who Wrote the Book of Performance
Testing
The FrameScope™ Pro is a powerful Ethernet deployment
tool capable of throughput, latency, back-to-back frames and frame loss
measurements for SLA verification and performance testing. It uses a
standardized point-topoint testing method defined by RFC 2544. The test results
can be stored on the CompactFlash™ card or viewed and printed via the remote
interface.
Automated and Simplified Network Service Testing and
Pre-Qualification
FrameScope™ Pro Autotest uses an innovative
technique to objectively measure and benchmark the performance of network
application servers, and produces detailed reports on the performance metrics.
This unique feature is useful for both troubleshooting and network
prequalification.
Configurable Line Rates from 1 Mbit/s to 1
Gbit/s
FrameScope™ Pro gives guaranteed performance at full 1
Gbit/s line rate on both copper and fiber interfaces. It supports configuration
of the link line rate that makes the testing fast and more efficient: you test
only for the bit rates you (and your customers) are interested in. RJ45 port for
copper networks and SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) for fiber
networks.
Complete network troubleshooting tool
kit
FrameScope™ Pro contains a complete arsenal for
troubleshooting tools from Ping and Trace Route to traffic generation and
statistical analysis of the traffic breakdown.
Network
Security
Network security is about knowing who is accessing the
network and what type of traffic they are generating. Using the Network database
rogue stations can be found and identified.
Future
Enhancements
As technology advances, FrameScope™ Pro is ready.
The compute engine and operating system allow for many future enhancements and
the Card Bus slot enables the use of PCMCIA cards for additional
expansion.
