The Fast Ethernet SmartCards are designed to generate,
monitor, and capture 10/100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet
traffic. Applications include 10/100 Mbps and 1000
Mbps Ethernet backbone testing, conformance, and interoperability
testing.
The GX-1405B/Bs SmartCard provides a single port for
generating, monitoring, and capturing Gigabit Ethernet
traffic in fulldupl ex mode. The physicalinter face is 850
nanometer multi-mode fiber. The GX-1405B/Bs
SmartCard operation follows the IEEE 802.3z specification.
The card can be used to test Gigabit Ethernet backbones,
as well as to perform conformance and interoperability
testing. Upstream traffic and throughput testing
can be performed by using the GX-1405B/Bs in combination
with, for example, ten SX-7410B 100 Mbps
SmartCards. Upstream traffic and throughput testing can
be performed in configurations with other SmartCards.
The SX-7410B Fast Ethernet full/half duplex SmartCard
supports IEEE 100Base-X autonegotiation and flow control.
The SX-7410B SmartCard supports VLAN tagged
fields and 1522 byte packets per IEEE 802.1p, 802.1q,
and 802.3ac draft documents. Data capture is provided
for up to 128,000 bytes of packet data.
