BL200a Single Port Gigabit Ethernet Tester

The BL200a is the worlds first Gigabit Ethernet Tester and has many key functions such as:

• Powerful built-in PACKET CAPTURE and analysis functions regarding all packets, filtered or event triggered option.
• Throughput testing, Generate multistream traffic up to 1Gbit/s line rate on copper and optical multi-ports, Ethernet frames, IP packets layer 1/2/3/4 with multiple modes such as continuous, ramping, burst mode.
• Cable BERT on copper port, BERT in Unframed mode on fiber optical port.
• Packet analysis such as FCS errors, L3/L4 checksum errors, Round Trip Delay (RTD), Packet Arrival Interval (PAI), packet loss, sequence errors.
• IP application test such as Ping, ARP, Trace Route, DNS, and DHCP.
• RFC2544: BL200A's RFC2544 network benchmark testing supports throughput, latency, frame loss, and back-to-back frames without loss, all varying frame sizes defined in RFC 2544 standard on optical 1G/100FX and copper 10/100/1000 BASE-T.
• Packet statistics measurement such as utilization, VLAN, control frame and packets, uni/multi/broadcasts, fewer than 64 byte (runt) frame, jumbo frame with global and filtered.
• Cable diagnostics (TDR) such as cable fault, irregular impedance, cable length.
• Loopback testing at layer 2 (MAC) and layer 3 (IP).
• Configurable QoS such as CoS, TOS, and DSCP.
• Optical power measurement.
• Simplifies the troubleshooting of IPTV services at the residential gateway.
• File Manager: Copy test results, test log files, screen capture files, and configuration files into USB memory card.

Key features and benefits:

• Supports hybrid user interface (UI) with graphical color touch-screen and also keypad at the same time, user-friendly.
• Supports multi-physical ports such as 1 fiber 100FX, 1000 BASE-SX/LX/ZX, and 1 copper 10/100/1000 BASE-T on one platform.
• Supports multi-stream traffic generation and analysis including layer 1/2/3/4 packets and fully customized packets with BERT.
• Supports built-in PACKET CAPTURE and analysis functions with all packets and filtered option on dual ports or one port.
• RFC2544: BL200A's RFC2544 network benchmark testing supports throughput, latency, frame loss, and back-to-back frames without loss, all varying frame sizes defined in RFC 2544 standard on optical 100FX, 1000 SX/LX/ZX and on copper 10/100/1000 BASE-T.
• Supports statistics measurement such as utilization, VLAN, control frame and packets, uni/multi/broadcasts, under 64 Byte frame, Jumbo frame and etc.
• Supports filtering measurement such as Jitter, Round Trip Delay, Packet Arrival Interval (PAI), Checksum error, Duplication error.
• Supports media converter function between optical and copper physical port.
• Ethernet and IP advanced connectivity testing such as ARP, Ping, Trace Route, DHCP, and DNS.
• Supports cable diagnostics. It utilises TDR to detect and identify cable faults, perform estimation cable length, identify irregular impedance on metallic paired cable, twisted pair.
• Precise loopback testing at layer 2 (MAC) and layer 3 (IP).
• Powerful Ethernet network troubleshooting tool kit and performance measurement tool kit.
• Be able to upload and download a new software version and test results via FTP.
• File Manager: Be able to copy testing results, log files, screen capture files, and configuration files to USB memory card.
