Spirent 401317 Frame Relay Synchronous Interface Module

The Spirent 401317 Frame Relay Synchronous Interface Module supports the Spirent Adtech AX/4000 Broadband Test System and is a highly flexible, modular test solution. The synchronous interface module is designed especially to support Frame Relay network testing and enables performance and QoS testing across various broadband technologies. It plays a vital role in assisting service providers and network equipment manufacturers in measuring responses of networks and their reliability under diverse and demanding conditions.

Synchronous communication protocols are included in the 401317 module to enable extremely precise control and synchronization over the transmission, which is especially important when testing frame relays. The module seamlessly interfaces with the AX/4000 system, a powerful test system with comprehensive testing on various networking protocols such as ATM, IP, and Ethernet for broad network analysis. This module integrated within the AX/4000 allows systems to generate real-world Frame Relay traffic for the recreation of networks and the testing of efficiency for data transport, error rates, and stability of networks under stress. It is also scalable; with this module, various other test components can run simultaneously, multi-protocol testing at speeds up to 10 Gbps, ensuring the network is robust in performance and conformance.

The software interface of module 401317, accessed through the controller software of AX/4000, offers comprehensive control over test configuration and setup for easy user interaction via graphical interfaces. The interface will support the enabling of alarms, tracking of errors, and monitoring of real-time performance metrics. This programmability also extends into the module for conformance and negative test scenarios, such as stress testing and fault injection, which would enable a user to evaluate network resilience against possible disruptions. This also allows for a range of automated testing options and integrates with the AX/4000 software suite, extending protocol testing over complex network topologies.
