The Complete 10GbE Test Set for Carrier Ethernet and LAN

As Metro Ethernet Networks play an increasingly critical role in linking core fiber transport networks with access infrastructures, they continue to integrate new technologies, such as 10GbE. As a result, cable, telecom and wireless service providers need flexible testing solutions that deliver both sophisticated test capabilities and true field portability.

Trilithic's new MetroNet 5000™ series offers comprehensive test and monitoring functions to isolate and solve problems in the network core, edge, NOC and data center. Designed for construction, customer turn-up and maintenance applications, each model offers numerous built-in tests for complete Ethernet, IP , VoIP and LAN testing in one small, lightweight handheld.

Complete Ethernet, IP and LAN testing in a lightweight, field-ready package.

MetroNet 5000 Diagram

The MetroNet 5000 also offers dual 10GbE interfaces, allowing you to do in-line monitoring and testing for faster problem resolution. The series includes four models with different port configurations but the same robust complement of software functions for cable, telecom and wireless service provider testing applications.

  • MetroNet 5020 - Two GbE Interfaces
  • MetroNet 5100 - One 10GbE Interface
  • MetroNet 5120 - One 10GbE Interface and Two GbE Interfaces
  • Metronet 5200 - Two 10GbE Interfaces
Dual 10 GbE Ports for In-line Testing

The MetroNet 5000 allows technicians to perform in-line and wrap-around testing at 10GbE, opening up a whole new suite of testing scenarios that provide faster problem resolution and better customer experiences.

Rugged, Lightweight Design Ideal for Field Use

Lightweight (under 3 lbs.) and durable, the compact handheld test set provides an economical solution for sophisticated testing in demanding field environments. It has the functionality of much more expensive test systems but the ease of use that is a hallmark of Trilithic systems.

Powerful Packet and Frame Filtering

Based on field content, the user can select which types of packets or frames are transmitted, looped back, received and measured. This allows the user to focus measurement on a particular type of traffic (e.g., IPTV) or filter several types of traffic into a custom stream that emulates a particular carrier service.

Port Traffic Flooding

The user has the flexibility to flood port traffic for stress testing of network equipment like routers and switches, simulate distributed denial of service attacks and other intrusions, and design or mark packet content to emulate viruses and other security breaches.

Sophisticated Reporting and Graphing

The MetroNet 5000 provides report generation and graphing capabilities typically found only in larger and higher-priced systems. The ability to generate reports in histogram, bar, pie and line graph formats and easily convert them to PDF files enables service providers to deliver detailed reporting to customers and management.

Line-Rate Packet Capture and Analysis

With optional packet and frame capture based on uniquely settable filters, the MetroNet 5000 enables the user to capture specifically the traffic to be measured, making it easier to troubleshoot network problems.

Ethernet and IP

Launches access to Ethernet and IP service test setup, testing and reporting for nine different test modes. Operator can also control unit's interfaces and can set up test profiles that define a set of parameters for a particular type of repeatable test.

IPTV

Launches mode for monitoring Video over IP sessions and IGMP signaling, as well as control and monitoring of the stream based on PAT (Program Address Table).

VoIP

Launches program for monitoring Voice over IP sessions, with MOS and R-factor measurements. Includes monitoring of both terminated and pass-through calls.

Network Discovery

Launches session for discovery and analysis of the devices attached to the Intranet which the MetroNet 5000 is connected to. Uses ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), SNMP and NetBIOS as tools to discover and display the subnet topology.

Tools

Launches a menu of utility functions to prepare for Ethernet or IP testing, such as measurement of optical port power or identification of individual Ethernet cables out to the user or server location.

File Manager

Launches access to menu for handling file management between internal and external file systems (using USB interface or USB memory stick), including screen captures, software downloads, technician profiles and measurement results.

Wireless LAN

Launches application for scanning of 802.11 a/b/g access points, channels and signal strength (with Cisco/Linksys Wireless-G USB network adapter).

System

Launches access to various system utilities that are used to configure the operation and performance of the test unit, including software upgrades, license key management, display preferences and power management.

Ethernet Testing Matrix

Out-band throughput and BER test, RFC2544 benchmarking methodology for network interconnect devices, Packet flooding, and In-band monitoring

IP Testing Matrix

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Ping, Trace route, Network discovery, and ARP

Ethernet Anomalies and Defects

10G WAN, Physical layer, Frame errors, QoS parameters, and Lost frame effects (FCS/CRC error and Bandwidth drop)

Device Under Test (DUT) Application

Use multiple interfaces to accelerate throughput and BER tests, error injection and detection for layers 2,3,4.

SLA Validation with Multiple Streams in Different Priorities

Test multiple configurations, such as measuring an EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line) with three VLANs to validate its conformity to the customer's SLA.

RFC2544

Run this popular test suite faster than other test sets by running several tests simultaneously. Generate comprehensive reports and graphs in various formats.

Using Bi-directional or Remote Loopback Testing

Confirm performance for service level agreement parameters – including UNI, EVC and CoS bandwidth profiles – using MEF service definitions. Measure asymmetrical and symmetrical uplink and downlink speed throughput using swapped source and destination MAC/IP addresses for return path.

VLAN and QinQ

Run multiple streams on multiple VLANs – with both service and customer VLAN tags – to verify network virtualization.

Ethernet Service Parameters and QoS Attributes

Verify QoS and bandwidth profile attributes of EVC services. Examples include: Latency (frame delay), Jitter (frame delay variation), Frame loss ratio, QoS assignment, Tagging options, CIR / EIR, and CBS / EBS

v 2.2

  • IEEE 802.3ah OAM Loopback can be selected in addition to MetroNet Loopback
  • "Test Time Estimation" has been added to RFC 2544 Setup before the measurement starts.
    • You can judge how long it will take to finish the RFC 2544 test based on the current configuration.
  • 802.11n WLAN quality/signal scanning is now supported together with 802.11b/g by using Linksys/Cisco AE1000 USB WLAN adapter. Previous model of Linksys/Cisco 802.11b/g USB WLAN adapter (WUSB54GC) is still supported.
  • ITU-Y.1564 Ethernet Service Activation test methodology is supported.

v 2.1

  • Battery capacity indicator on top of the screen shows accurate battery status in three bars
  • Default setting for stream Marker is ON for all streams in Throughput and Throughput32 test modes
  • Default gateway is adjusted according to subnet mask and IP address entered
  • Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is added to TCP/UDP source/destination port selection
