Acterna Ethernet and Fibre Channel Services Module
The FST-2802 is a handheld Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and IP services test instrument designed to meet the needs of service providers for turning up and troubleshooting these various services. The FST-2802 enables technicians to use one test set to turn up services ranging from 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and IP - all from a single TestPad module!
Highlights:
Full line rate traffic generation with variable traffic load characteristics to stress test 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces.
Ability to test 1.0625 and 2.125 Gbps Fibre Channel services at 100% wire speed.
IP ping and traceroute testing for verification of network connectivity.
Ability to perform IP throughput verification and round trip delay testing.
Filtering capabilities at L2 and L3 enable users to perform circuit troubleshooting.
Dual-port capability for Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic generation.
BER testing at layer 1 and layer 2 for Ethernet and Fibre Channel circuits.
Loopback frame generation to automatically loop the far-end test at L2 and L3.
