The Agilent 622Vu Advisor extends the test
capability of the Agilent Advisor to provide full rate ATM analysis at 622
Mbps. By simply attaching the 622Vu Advisor undercradle to the Agilent
Advisor WAN or Agilent Advisor LAN-Fast Ethernet, network troubleshooters
have test capabilities from 1.5 Mbps (DS1) to 622 Mbps (OC-12c/STM-4c) --
all under one handle.
The Agilent 622Vu Advisor can be used in
either of two configurations: end-station mode or monitor-only mode. In
end-station mode, the 622Vu Advisor is active as a terminal on one of two
ports (user selectable); the other port provides a passive physical layer
loopback function (with optical/electrical/optical regeneration). In
monitor-only station mode, the Agilent 622Vu Advisor can be inserted into
a bi-directional optical circuit providing passive through-mode
monitoring.
The Agilent 622Vu Advisor is able to
analyze two channels simultaneously. Capture buffers associated with each
channel allow full rate (622Mpbs) capture of ATM traffic. The user can
capture on VIP-VCI and can post-capture filter on VPI-VCI, on IP addressed
in AAL-5 encapsulated PDUs, or on various PDU decodes. Captured traffic
can be analyzed in post-capture mode to decode nearly 300 LAN
encapsulations and view critical events and alarms.
In addition to protocol analysis
capabilities, real-time auto-discover circuitry allows the 622Vu Advisor
to find multiple virtual connections (VPI-VCIs) and gather per-VCC
statistics and IP encapsulation, where appropriate.
The J3763A 622Vu undercradle requires the
addition of the J3764A optical interface plug-in. |
