2.2 Product overview
The following sections provide a high-level overview of the unit.
2.2.1 Base unit features
NOTE: Your unit may or may not include all of the features described here, dependent upon your
licensing agreement with Spirent. Please contact Spirent for more information.
• Ethernet and IP connectivity testing - With its 10/100/1G interface, the unit can link to an Ethernet
network at any standard transport device such as a home router, hub, or Ethernet switch. Once
linked, the unit can join an IP network and perform testing such as ping, traceroute, and internet
webpage access. These abilities make the unit ideal for verifying connectivity within the home and
isolating problems to either the provider or subscriber networks.
• Wi-Fi testing - The unit includes a Wi-Fi interface that can sync with wireless devices using standard
802.11 protocols such as b, g, n, and ac, including support for WEP and WPA security. Similar to
Ethernet testing, the Wi-Fi interface allows you to join a wireless network and perform IP-based
testing to verify connectivity and sectionalize issues.
• IP video analysis - The unit is able to join a video stream and measure video quality and channel
change time. In this fashion, it can emulate a set-top box (STB) and provide a comprehensive
evaluation of IPTV quality. It can also bridge an existing stream on a link for passive monitoring. For
example, it can be placed between a home router and a real STB to passively monitor the video
communications between the devices, even while the video is simultaneously displaying on a TV.
• Expansion of features with modular hardware - The unit is designed for expansion by attaching
feature-specific modules, such as the MoCA/RF module for testing of home MoCA networks. For
more information on available modules, please contact Spirent. For more information on the
operation of any specific module, see the documentation for that module.
