The VeEX™ MX product series offer a complete test solution for Metro Ethernet network installation and maintenance. Powerful features such as symmetrical and asymmetrical RFC2544 conformance testing, Multiple independent stream generation, Stacked VLAN (Q-in-Q) and MPLS tagging, and Dual Port Traffic Generation/Analysis are available at 10GBase-R, 1000Base-X and 10/100/1000Base-T test interfaces. Fiber Channel testing at 1Gbps and 2Gbps rates is supported on select models.
10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-X interface testing supported in one compact, handheld, lightweight unit. A MSA compliant SFP interface supports field inter-changeable SFP transceivers operating at traditional telecom, but also CWDM and DWDM wavelengths. Independent and configurable Multi-streams with MPLS, Q-in-Q, tags truly characterize Triple Play service flows and routing, while MAC flooding is able to stress network devices simulating high traffic conditions. Asymmetric RFC 2544, RFC2544, Loopback, Network discovery, VLAN scan and Layer 1, 2, 3, 4 BERT are advanced and valuable capabilities to comprehensively assess the Ethernet network under test. Triple Play Service Verification is performed using the same advanced feature set integrated into all VPAL platforms but the MX series is able to validate these applications at WAN and LAN interfaces and bit rates.
