Agilent/HP 1735A Fibre Channel Test Module 2 Ports - 1, 2, and 4 Gb/sThe Agilent 1735A is a multi-application test module for 1,2 and 4Gb/s Fibre Channel. It combines Fibre Channel protocol analysis, traffic generation and performance test on 2 independent pairs of Fibre Channel ports. Downloading the appropriate features on the modules prior to the test makes it possible to reuse the same hardware for different test scenarios.
Configured as a protocol analyzer, the Agilent 1735A module includes two independent full-duplex analysis subsystems, each one able to capture relevant information on a deep trace buffer through an intuitive high-level multilevel, multibranch triggering and filtering sequencer. Time correlation is provided between all of the analyzers, enabling multiport, system-level measurement.
The Agilent 1735A module, configured as an active tester with the SAN Tester application, enables Fibre Channel traffic generation on 2 independent ports at wire speeds of 1 Gb/s to 4 Gb/s, with allowances for any combination of data, error, link, fabric control and fabric services test. The new module can be used simultaneously with the existing Agilent 1730B and 1733A modules in the universal multi-user, multiprotocol, scalable N2X chassis, protecting existing investments. Each port can be independently set up and operated, and provides simultaneous line speed traffic generation and real-time continuous measurement capabilities. Live measurements can be made while test is running, helping you see in real time the operation of your DUT.
