RFC-2544 Performance Benchmark Testing

The FrameScope 350 is a powerful Ethernet deployment tool capable of throughput and latency measurements for SLA verification or performance testing. The FrameScope 350 performs RFC 2544 performance tests at full 100Mbits line rate. The test results can be stored on the CompactFlash card and printed via the remote interface.

Performance evaluations to automate and simplify network service testing and pre-qualification

Users can measure how long it takes to download a file or Web page from a specific server on the network using the FrameScope 350 Autotest, eliminating the expense and complexity of performance baselining. Useful for both network troubleshooting and pre-qualification, it is the only handheld analyzer that can automatically measure and report the performance of common network services using objective performance metrics.

Pinpoint errors and misconfigurations to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot network problems

Users can identify 10/100 Mbps Ethernet utilization, broadcasts, collisions and errors - or quickly pinpoint incorrectly assigned subnet masks, misconfigured servers, and duplicate IP addresses. The FrameScope 350 rapidly discovers and displays all devices in a switched network, giving support staff instant visibility into the IP and IPX devices on different subnets, along with their MAC addresses, Network addresses, and names.

Perform Category 6 and Fiber Optic Cable testing to certify physical cabling infrastructure

Installation technicians can fully test and certify to TIA and international cabling and networking standards. The FrameScope 350 measures length, and noise level, and - with a DualRemote 350 connected to the opposite end of the cable - performs complete cable certification testing including Category 6 / Class E. Competitive products have limited cabling testing functionality and are unable to perform certification.

Remote control for remote office support or historical data collection

Network managers and senior technicians can assist on-site personnel directly from the central office using the FrameScope 350''s web-based remote control capability. In addition, the FrameScope can be placed strategically within the network and controlled remotely to gather statistics over time or perform troubleshooting functions. Test results can be saved to produce professional-quality graphical reports, which can be printed or viewed online.

Easy network installation and management

The FrameScope 350 features an easy-to-use color touch screen and a powerful network discovery capability that allows network installation and maintenance technicians to easily survey the network and generate a complete list of workstations, switches, routers, servers and other network devices.
