N5540A, N5541A and N5542A Agilent N2X Chassis
Agilent N2X is the industry's most comprehensive test solution for testing the development and deployment of network services for converging network infrastructures. Service providers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and component manufacturers can verify service attributes of entire networks end-to-end, while also isolating problems down to individual networking devices and subsystems. Agilent N2X has significantly enhanced RouterTester 900, OmniBER XM and SAN Tester, and combined them into an integrated test solution. What distinguishes N2X is its ability to test leading-edge services such as metro Ethernet, MPLS L2/3 VPNs, Multicast and SAN services, over the latest converging infrastructures such as MPLS, IPv6 and next-generation SONET/SDH, simultaneously in the one test environment.
The Agilent N2X provides costeffective multi-port test system for verifying the ultimate performance of multi-services networks and devices – from multi-channel simulation and analysis of SDH and SONET standards, to wire-speed packet generation, through to simulation of Internetscale network topologies around Multi Service Platforms, switches and routers.
3 types of N2X chassis:
- N5540A 2-slot Portable Chassis
The chassis provides a convenient platform for testing scenarios where portability or small size is a factor. Two different card types can be configured simultaneously allowing for test scenarios that use a combination of port types. - N5541A 4-slot Chassis
The chassis provides a small, flexible platform that can be either mounted in a standard 19" rack or stacked on a bench top. It can accommodate up to 4 test cards, providing added flexibility in system configuration. - N5542A 4-slot Chassis with ext BITS / MTS clock input
This version of the 4-slot chassis has the capability to synchronize the transmit clock on all the N2X XM test cards in a system to a common source. Users have a choice of four external reference clock inputs for synchronization: 1.544 Mb/s BITS 2.048 Mb/s MTS
