HST-3000 Ethernet SIM
Test Electrical and Optical Ethernet up to 1G
Key Features
• Electrical and optical Ethernet testing in one module
• Traffic generation at full line rate or variable loads to test
services at layer 2 and 3
• ‘Thru Mode’ to measure live traffic
• Cable diagnostics to identify and locate electrical faults
• Scripted RFC 2544 benchmark testing
• Loopback L2 or L3 traffic from any instrument in JDSU’s
Ethernet portfolio
As networks migrate from circuit-switched to packet-switched architectures,
Ethernet services are being pushed out of the network core and toward the edge.
Therefore, service providers must equip their technicians to adequately turn up
and troubleshoot this new technology while continuing to support their legacy
T/E carrier services.
While the majority of today’s Ethernet links carry only data traffic, Voice over IP
(VoIP) and IP Video are becoming more common. These triple-play networks,
which transmit voice, video, and data traffic, present a unique set of challenges.
Service providers for these network environments are now responsible for
delivering a layer 7 service, rather than a traditional layer 2 or layer 3 pipe.
The HST-3000, equipped with the Ethernet Service Interface Module (SIM),
addresses this requirement for 7-layer testing in a rugged, modular platform that
is ideal for field use. It has a full Ethernet feature set for testing both electrical and
optical links with data rates up to 1 Gb/s. The HST-3000 also offers multiple
stream support for the verification of prioritization schemes and advanced
monitoring options for advanced troubleshooting capabilities. In addition, the
HST-3000’s VoIP and IP Video options allow technicians to emulate the end
customer’s user experience and objectively measure quality of service.
