FTB-1 Platform
SOFTWARE TEST TOOLS
This series of platform-based software testing tools enhance the value of the FTB-1 Platform, providing additional testing capabilities
without the need for additional modules or units.
EXpert TEST TOOLS
EXpert VoIP generates a voice-over-IP call directly from the test platform to validate performance during service turn-up and
troubleshooting.
›
Supports a wide range of signaling protocols, including SIP, SCCP, H.248/Megaco and H.323
›
Supports MOS and R-factor quality metrics
›
Simplifies testing with configurable pass/fail thresholds and RTP metrics
EXpert IP integrates six commonly used datacom test tools into one platform-based application to ensure that field technicians
are prepared for a wide range of testing needs.
›
Rapidly performs debugging sequences with VLAN scan and LAN discovery
›
Validates end-to-end ping and traceroute
›
Verifies FTP performance and HTTP availability
This powerful IPTV quality assessment solution enables set-top-box emulation and passive monitoring of IPTV streams, allowing
quick and easy pass/fail verification of IPTV installations.
›
Real-time video preview
›
Analyzes up to 10 video streams
›
Comprehensive QoS and QoE metrics including MOS score
SOFTWARE UTILITIES
Update Manager
Ensure that your entire fleet of platforms is up-to-date with the latest software, and easily manage your maintenance contracts.
VNC configuration
The Virtual Network Computing utility allows technicians to easily communicate settings to remote colleagues.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Access the Web directly from your platform interface.
Bluetooth file-sharing
Share files from your FTB-1 to any Bluetooth-enabled device.
Wi-Fi connection
Display available Wi-Fi connections and save your default settings.
THIRD-PARTY TEST TOOLS
Wireshark
This live-network packet-capture utility makes it possible to look “inside” the packets and obtain data such as transmission time,
source, destination, protocol type, etc. Users can then diagnose a problem or root out suspicious behavior. Wireshark is a standard
utility on all FTB-1 platforms.
JPerf
This TCP performance testing tool can create TCP and UDP data streams, which measure the throughput of a network that is
carrying them. Thanks to various user-definable parameters, technicians can rely on JPerf to optimize or tune a network under test.
Network Stumbler
Network Stumbler verifies wireless network configurations, enabling field technicians to identify areas that have poor coverage or
wireless interference, and helping them to aim antennas for full effect and find unauthorized access points.
