LAN Packet Tester "LE-580FX" for analyzing Ethernet Network via USB2.0
LINEEYE CO., LTD. will release LAN Packet Tester “LE-580FX”. In TAP mode, you can monitor full-duplex data on 10/100Base-TX Network via USB port. In Packet Generator(PG) mode, you can generate traffic max. at 100Mbps line-speed.1. Outline
Previously when analyzing full-duplex packets between Network devices, it was common to use PC based Network analysis software with a LAN TAP or to use a HUB with a mirror port. However, the PC needed 2 LAN ports and some complicated settings. In addition not many people had tested their devices in a high traffic network environment because of its cost. Nowadays embedded devices for use in a network are in high demand. To support them there should be available a LAN analysis tool that is easy to connect to a PC, and available for a reasonable price.
LINEEYE is pleased to announce a LAN Packet Tester “LE-580FX” for analysis of 10/100 Base-TX Networks that is connected to a PC via USB2.0.
The LE-580FX has two modes;
1. Measurement in TAP/PG mode based on FPGA.
2. Windows software mode which displays on a PC the captured data measured in the Measurement mode.
In TAP mode LE-580FX captures full-duplex data from 2 LAN ports and outputs it via a USB2.0 port. It also filters specific protocol and data, adds a time stamp using a hardware timer, and can be used with LAN analysis software such as “Ethereal”.
In PG mode: LE-580FX generates test packets at the specified speed from PortA or PortB. You are able to determine the packet capacity of your Network devices and how they work in high traffic conditions. Test packets are generated in the FPGA, so it is not affected by the performance of the PC. (max. 100Mbps line-speed). PortA and PortB work individually to generate packets and to receive packets. You can test your devices with the LE-580FX to determine the delay time and packet loss. Test data can be set between 2 to 7 layers, and CRC and alignment errors can be added. With QoS test, you can find out the basic QoS information such as packet loss and latency time by outputting up to 8 test packet lines. (VLAN supported)
In summary, the LE-580FX is the best value for network testing and other efficiency tests because it is compact, comprehensive, lightweight and easy to use with any PC.
