RADCOM introduces Internet Protocol Analyzer; Dedicated unit supports new protocols like PPP/Async plus all relevant interfaces.MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 1996--RADCOM announced at Networld+Interop the availability of its dedicated Internet Protocol analyzer, the ISP Analyzer. This aggressively-priced analyzer provides ISP field service engineers with all the tools necessary for troubleshooting and maintaining the Internet. The analyzer features special interfaces and software, such as PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using over Async, a Frame Relay troubleshooter package, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. with simultaneous B and D channel monitoring, and full decoding of over 140 WAN/LAN protocols. "To fully support the ISP field service guys, we've added new protocols like compressed and uncompressed Van Jacobson algorithm, IPCP, IPXCP, ATCP, detailed decoding of PPP and LCP protocols, and more," said Ilan Bar, RADCOM's WAN/LAN Product Manager. "In addition, we give them all the physical interfaces they need in one portable, affordable analyzer." The ISP Analyzer supports the following interfaces, at speeds of up to 256 Kbps. It can be easily upgraded to a full T1/E1 analyzer. o ISDN-PRI ISDN-PRI Integrated Services Digital Network Primary Rate Interface (up to 4 simultaneous timeslots) o ISDN-BRI ISDN-BRI Integrated Services Digital Network-Basic Rate Interface - can monitor both B and D channels simultaneously o Multitype -software-selectable RS-232, V.35, RS-530, RS-422, X.21 The ISDN software package, both for BRI and PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party. (Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. , supports a variety of American and European standards, including National ISDN-1, ISDN-2, EuroISDN ETSI, German 1TR6, French VN3 and VN4, AT&T 5ESS, DASS2, Australian, and more. These are all supported in a single software package, as multinational support is essential to many providers. Additionally, the ISP Analyzer supports PPP and LCP, PPP over Async, all the 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. encapsulated protocols including Ethernet, Token ring, E1, T1, enhanced Frame Relay for PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. and SVC (1) (Switched Virtual Circuit) A network connection that is established at the time the transmission is required and disconnected when the session is completed. support, Novell IPX, TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and more. Since the analyzer features support for two interfaces simultaneously, the user may analyze any interface combination, such as ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI, ISDN BRI and RS-232. All the software runs under Windows, for point-and-click ease of use. The Help software provides in-depth information, which eliminates the need to carry manuals. The ISP Analyzer connects to any notebook or PC for a graphical interface. Weighing less than 5 pounds, this Analyzer is truly portable. For an introductory list price of $5900, the ISP Analyzer includes: Encapsulation software of over 140 protocols, the ISDN software package, two monitor cables and two of the three interfaces: ISDN/BRI, ISDN/PRI, or MTYP. The ISP Analyzer with all three interfaces, including three monitor cables, lists for $7200. The ISP Analyzer is available for delivery now. RADCOM Equipment, a member of the RAD Group, specializes in designing, manufacturing and marketing a line of high quality test equipment. RADCOM's ATM and ATM/WAN/LAN analyzers were recently awarded DataComm Magazine's "Hot Products 1996." In November 1995, RADCOM won CMA Telecom's Best of Show New Product Award for its ATM Signalling Simulation software. RADCOM was also voted Best of Show finalist at Networld+Interop LV '95. RADCOM is rapidly becoming recognized as one of the top analyzer manufacturers. CONTACT: Avi Zamir, President, 201/529-2020 or Ilene Wiener, SalesTech Int'l PR, 201/461-1400 |
