IPNetSim™ Handheld Ethernet, IP, WAN Network Emulator


2

IPNetSim™ Handheld

• Handheld (1kg), Battery Operated, Dual-Port GbE tester

• Longest Battery Life (8h)

• Dimensions: 223 mm x 144 mm x 65 mm

• Simulate the real-time packet network dynamics

• Packet delay, loss, jitter, error, bandwidth limitations, congestion, and duplication.


3

Hardware Panel

• RJ-45 (Port A and B): This is the first full featured 10/100/1000BASE-T port for Ethernet transmit and receive.

• SFP (Port A and Port B). This port is used to connect the tester to the network through an optical interface with the help of an SFP module.


4

Hardware

• Power connector: AC Power Adapter Input: 100 ~ 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz

• RJ-45 printer or console: Console connector.

• USB Slave: Enables connection of a PC to the tester and access to the internal tester file system.

• USB Master: Used for software upgrades and connection of external storage devices.

• RJ-45 general purpose LAN connector: Used for remote management of the test unit.


5

Remote Control

• Standard VNC support

• Centralized management

• Remote control

• Multiple standard clients available

PC and Labtops

Windows and Linux

iPhone / iPad

Android Mobiles

• Exactly the same GUI in tester / remote devices


6

Display

• Display 480 x 272 TFT full color screen

• Limited Navigation deep

• SoftLEDs © all events at a glance

• Functional navigation keys

• Landscape ergonomy

• PASS / FAIL at a glance


7

Applications• Verify the tolerance and the quality of video, audio or data applications either working in

development laboratories or directly connected to commercial networks

• Test QoS factors of Multi-play applications including critical Data Access, Video Streaming,

Internet, VoIP, IMS, HDTV, and IPTV

• Test routers, switches, VoIP handsets, VoIP PBXs, set-top boxes, and VoD servers

• Evaluate the stability of switches and routers under static or dynamic traffic load conditions over

minutes, hours or days.

• Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE) testing

• Satellite communications

• Submarine links


8

Main Features• Traffic impairments can be defined over max. 16 traffic flows

• Independent criteria can be used over each branch

• Events: Packet loss, delay, error, duplication, jitter, bandwidth limitations, and congestion

• Events are implemented at Ethernet layer

• Users can place errors within IP protocols or edit the Ethernet/IP fields

• Impairments as per ITU-T Y.1541 standard

• Jumbo frames support up to 17 kBytes

• Traffic shaping and Traffic Policing

• Ability to replicate complex network dynamic by means of modifying Bandwidth and QoS parameters


9

Main Features

• 16 user-defined filters to select flows based on MAC, IP, VLAN, TCP, UDP, COS, DSCP.

• Configurable, either deterministic or random, time delays can be inserted in every filter

• Capable of processing and computing statistics over fractions of the Ethernet traffic meeting

specific conditions

• Detailed event log window with per flow viewing of the events.

• Remote access via VNC


10

Operation• IPNetSim™ Handheld is inserted between two Ethernet segments in pass through mode while

operating in bidirectional packet transfer mode.

• The emulation settings can be defined independently for 16 separate flows that can be filtered by

several criteria including MAC, IP, TCP/UDP or User Mask.


11

Enabling and Disabling Filters

• Equipped with 15 filters plus one special filter for background traffic (BG filter)

• Each filter has a priority number

• If one frame is selected by an specific filter it will not be processed by any lower priority filters


12

LED Panel

• LEDs panel offers a quick view of the current IPNetSim™ Handheld connection and operation status. They are permanent indicators.


13

Traffic Statistics and Analysis

• Results are usually presented in a list or a table

• If all results cannot be simultaneously displayed, then the user is allowed to use the cursors up and down to browse the list
