The MP1590B Network Performance Tester is a measuring instrument capable of measuring IP networks up to 10 GbE using the Ethernet plug-in modules of the MD1230B test system, as well as traditional functions including testing of PDH, DSn, SDH/SONET, and OTN equipment and jitter measurement, with only one box. A new EoS unit supports Ethernet over SONET/SDH measurement, virtual concatenation, and LCAS measurement to enable testing of next-generation SDH/SONET equipment. The MP1590B can perform simultaneous applications -- such as SDH/SONET, OTN, EoS, jitter, and Ethernet measurement -- using combinations of plug-in units.
The MP1591A provides large capacity multi-slot test capability for diversified networks with both line (SONET/SDH/OTN) and client (Ethernet) sides. The MP1591A is the ideal solution when working with increasingly common multiport equipment; it has expansion slots for up to 16 interface modules, and installing the 10GbE interface module supports LAN-PHY measurements. The MP1591A supports the modules used in the MD1230/MP1590 families. An example of its high capacity its ability to support up to 128 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports in a single chassis.
The new MP1590B-17 or MU159101A-17 Traffic Impairment Emulator option is a unique all-in-one solution that provides network impairment emulation and performance measurement for carriers and network equipment vendors offering real-time applications such as IPTV and VoIP. It enables the MP1590B or MP1591A to emulate network faults such as packet loss, error/packet overwrite, transmission delay, and packet jitter for both 10/100/1000M Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
The MP1590B-30 High Precision Jitter Analysis option introduces new accuracy for jitter measurements and a traceable calibration standard that have never before been available in the industry.
