Digital Lightwave Adds Fibre Channel Capability to Industry-Leading NIC Testing Platform.Software Upgrade for NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. High-Density Ethernet Module CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Digital Lightwave[R], Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :DIGL DIGL Device Independent Graphics Layer ), a leading provider of optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. test equipment and technology, today announced the addition of Fibre Channel testing to the flexible NIC platform. The capability will be available as a license-based "test option" for the NIC's High-Density (HD) Ethernet module, already boasting industry-leading port density and ease of use. The product meets the needs of network operators who deploy and maintain transport and data services in enterprise, metro and long-haul applications. The Fibre Channel test option, scheduled for release in Q3 2007, extends the NIC's market-leading Ethernet solution into the Fibre Channel arena. With the multi-port HD Ethernet module, the user can test Ethernet and Fiber Channel ports simultaneously. For thorough turn up and troubleshooting, all aspects of node login, fabric login, buffer-to-buffer flow control, and frame size, header and rates are user configurable. Extensive non-intrusive performance monitoring provides insight into in-service Fibre Channels. "Since its release, our HD Ethernet module has been a market leader," said Tom Newhart, North American North American named after North America.

"With the addition of Fibre Channel, we highlight the flexibility of the NIC platform, demonstrating how the NIC evolves to meet the changing needs of our customers. Combined with the unmatched capability of our NGMR module, the NIC is clearly the choice for all-in-one test solutions." The NIC HD Ethernet module supports simultaneous testing of multiple ports including 10/100/1000BaseT (8 ports), 1GigE (4 ports) and 10GigE. With the addition of Fibre Channel, the NIC Ethernet module further establishes the NIC's position as an industry leader for flexibility and functionality. The HD Ethernet module, with all the above ports, is available in the small and light NIC chassis for an easily portable Ethernet and Fibre Channel test solution. Also in the small chassis, the customer can add the NIC NextGen Multi-Rate (NGMR) module and gain SONET/SDH/OTN/NextGen capabilities for a complete telecom/datacom solution. In the larger NIC Plus Chassis and the NIC EP rackmount, multiple modules can be equipped for independent and simultaneous testing of multiple ports plus PDH/T-Carrier and Jitter/Wander.
