SPIRENT TESTCENTER BPK-1029A ENHANCED CAPTURE AND DECODE BASE PACKAGE A Testers spend a large percentage of their time analyzing the small percentage of test cases that fail. Spirent TestCenter™’s Enhanced Capture and Decode Base Package accelerates time-to-market and lowers product and service development costs by enhancing the tester’s ability to quickly isolate, analyze, troubleshoot and fix software and hardware issues. APPLICATIONS • BPK-1029A enhances the standard capture and decode Troubleshoot routing, switching and access issues by capturing and analyzing transmitted and received control capabilities of Spirent TestCenter by providing: plane packets • ClearSight Analyzer software is enhanced to work with Spirent • Precisely characterize and solve timing issues using the full TestCenter’s advanced capture features resolution of Spirent TestCenter’s time stamp—1,000 times • Real-time decodes—frames are captured and decoded during more precise than what is displayed using the most popular the test itself at rates up to 100 frames/second decode programs • The full resolution of Spirent TestCenter’s time stamp • Quickly analyze detailed test data using the information (10 nanoseconds) is displayed in the decode view included in Spirent TestCenter’s signature field—stream • number, sequence number, time stamp Decoded Spirent TestCenter signature fields Ladder/bounce diagrams of BGP, OSPF, OSPFv2, RIP and RIPng • Troubleshoot routing issues using ladder diagrams of key • protocols—BPG, OSPF, OSPFv2, RIP and RIPng Display of captured preamble for Ethernet frames • Troubleshoot L2 preamble testing using Spirent TestCenter’s preamble capture and display capabilities • Enhance the hardware filtering available on Spirent TestCenter with additional software filtering SPIRENT TESTCENTER BPK-1029A ENHANCED CAPTURE AND DECODE BASE PACKAGE A • BPK-1029A supports real-time decoding of test traffic BENEFITS • • Users can capture and examine both Tx and Rx control plane Get to Market Faster—Using BPK-1029A, testers can traffic on a given port dramatically decrease the time required to find and fix product and service problems and thereby get to market faster • Users can select up to 4 ports and create a view interleaving • Improve Product/Service Quality—BPK-1029A enables higher captured frames product and service quality by: • The ClearSight software supports freezing and clearing the • Enabling testers to isolate, analyze and eventually fix quality display issues found in the testing process • Decoded traffic is simultaneously stored on the PC for post- • Increasing the number of test cases that can be executed in a test analysis given amount of time • Supported up to 100 frames per second • Lower Product Development and Service Deployment Costs—A disproportionate amount of test time is spent • Full resolution of the Spirent TestCenter Timestamp. Spirent troubleshooting failed test cases. This is a costly and labor- TestCenter time stamp has 10ns resolution. This resolution intensive process usually involving highly skilled engineers. can’t be viewed using other decode packages BPK-1029A reduces the time spent isolating and fixing these • Decoded Signature Fields. The Spirent TestCenter signature failures thus significantly lowering the cost of testing a given field includes critical test information that can’t be viewed product release or service deployment. using other decode packages KEY FEATURES • ClearSight software supports ladder/bounce diagrams for key • routing protocols BPK-1029A includes a copy of the ClearSight Analyzer software enhanced to work with the advanced Spirent • Routing protocol exchanges between peers are shown TestCenter capture features. ClearSight Analyzer is an in ladder/bounce format including frame number, peer advanced network monitoring and troubleshooting tool addressing, message type, timing information and length featuring • Provided in real-time • An award-winning intuitive interface providing excellent drill down for in-depth analysis • Can be exported to *.pdf • A complete Triple Play analysis solution • Display of captured preamble for Ethernet frames • Advanced voice and video analysis features SUPPORTED MODULES • IPTV analysis solution BPK-1029A supports all Spirent TestCenter test modules and personality cards. • Comprehensive and easy-to-use filtering functions REQUIREMENTS • A SPT-2000A Spirent 2U Chassis and Controller, SPT-5000A Spirent 5U Chassis and Controller or SPT-9000A Spirent 9U Chassis and Controller • Operating system languages supported: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (traditional and simplified) SPIRENT TESTCENTER BPK-1029A ENHANCED CAPTURE AND DECODE BASE PACKAGE A MINIMUM PC REQUIREMENTS ORDERING INFORMATION • Small Port System: 2-25 ports Spirent TestCenter Enhanced Capture and Decode Base Package A (P/N BPK-1029A) • 2.4GHz Pentium® 4 or equivalent SPIRENT GLOBAL SERVICES • 512MB of free RAM Spirent Global Services provides a variety of professional • 10GB free disk space services, support services and education services—all focused on helping customers meet their complex testing and service • Medium Port System: 26-75 ports assurance requirements.
