Spirent 401427 AX/4000 Ethernet Control Module

The Spirent 401427 AX/4000 Ethernet Control Module acts as a central module in conducting the Ethernet-based network testing of the AX/4000 test platform. The 401427 supports high performance testing on a variety of network protocols, such as ATM, IP, Frame Relay, and Ethernet, to provide far-reaching control and monitoring of operations for network operators and engineers. This module enables end-to-end testing from the subscriber's edge to core for the necessary critical assessment of network devices and performance under realistic operating conditions. Its advanced management capabilities make it indispensable for testing scenarios that require precise control over network configurations and behaviors.

The 401427 supports a variety of data interfaces, from 1.554 Mbps to 10 Gbps, to ensure easy integration into any network architecture. Further, by allowing simultaneous multi-protocol testing, this module ensures that network components can make their way through complexities involved in multi-service environments. The additional feature of Ethernet control makes the module even more versatile for broadband access, mobile backhaul, routing, multicast, switching, and MPLS testing in terms of offering different testing solutions for various network types. The capability makes it a valuable asset for service providers in the telecommunications sector, equipment manufacturers, and network operators who need to validate network scalability and reliability before full-scale deployment.

Engineered to simplify the testing process, the Spirent 401427 helps to reduce both time and resource requirements. Conformance test suites allow users to test their device's conformance to industry standards, which guarantee interoperability of the device on the network according to the specifications.

This is a very solid test platform for reducing problems after deployment, therefore saving downtime and reducing operational disturbances. Furthermore, the AX/4000 platform's modular design means the 401427 module can operate with other modules to perform flexible configurations to suit particular testing needs. The control capabilities of the 401427, combined with Spirent's intuitive software interface, provide users with a streamlined workflow that offers easy configuration adjustments, extensive monitoring, and fast test execution. Its ability to support exhaustive and repeatable tests increases testing accuracy, so network engineers have an easier job in terms of identifying and resolving performance issues.
