SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy and OTN Testing 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 test equipment and technology, today announced the ESA 2025 Module for the NIC Platform. The new Ethernet Services Analyzer module provides industry-leading Ethernet testing with unmatched flexibility to expand testing capabilities as the customers' needs change. The ESA 2025 provides Ethernet testing with 10/100/1000BaseT (dual-port), GigE (dual-port) and 10GigE LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. interfaces. 10GigE WAN Test Option can be included at the time of initial delivery or added in the field with only a license key. Features include simultaneous testing on multiple ports and up to 32 simultaneous Ethernet streams on each port, RFC2544 testing, bit error rate testing, port-to-port testing capability, stacked VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network testing, rate setting by various traffic-generation profiles, through mode, ARP support, runt The frame that remains after a collision on a CSMA/CD medium such as Ethernet. Runts are undersize packets, smaller than what the network protocol calls for, such as 64 bytes in Ethernet. Electrical interference or faulty wiring can also produce a runt. frame support and maximum frame size up to 16,000 bytes. Additional license-based Test Options are available to add SONET, SDH and OTN interfaces to the ESA 2025. Thus the same unit purchased for Ethernet applications today can be upgraded to a complete telecom/datacom solution in the future with only a license key and pluggable optics modules. "With the increasing deployment of Carrier Ethernet and Synchronous Ethernet, our customers' requirements for Ethernet test equipment are increasing rapidly," stated Mike Botham, Director of Engineering. "The compact NIC chassis with ESA 2025 module is a simple yet powerful, portable Ethernet test solution. With the capability of adding SONET/SDH/OTN technologies as well, the same small unit becomes a complete transport testing solution." Combined with other NIC Platform modules, the ESA 2025 supports widely varied applications ranging from 1.5Mbps to 43Gbps and Jitter/Wander. In a 5-slot NIC Plus or NIC EP chassis, up to four ESA 2025 modules can be configured for a multi-port solution. The ESA 2025 will be available in November.
