Spirent 401433 Controller Module

The Spirent 401433 AX/4000 Ethernet Controller Module is a key module in the Spirent Adtech AX/4000 broadband test system, especially for advanced PWE3 conformance testing. It enables high-performance test capability on Ethernet, GPS, and E4 connections, as well as being one of the major controlling components of an AX/4000 PWE3 Conformance Test Suite. The AX/4000 system is designed for complete network simulation, and at the heart of the system is module 401433, which fits a wide range of applications in broadband. It supports multi-protocol, simultaneous testing: ATM, IP, Frame Relay, and Ethernet. Flexible data rates supported range from 1.544 Mbps up to 10 Gbps, thus enabling the module 401433 to serve varied network demands accurately in protocol testing within complex network environments.

The module serves for the validation of device and network performance, scalability, and reliability prior to deployment in live networks, particularly within broadband access applications. Operating with the 401433 module that supports an extensive variety of interfaces and protocols, comprehensive end-to-end testing allows operators to simulate network behavior from the subscriber edge right through to the core backbone. The Spirent 401433 Controller Module is the core in pre-deployment validation—a process that smooths the way and shortens preparation and test phases necessary to ensure the hardiness of the network.

Some of the major benefits of the 401433 module include the automation and simplification of the test procedures, highly reducing the wide time and cost that has been developed with broadband network testing. The AX/4000 system is also designed in a modular, field-programmable building block architecture. The software interface is streamlined to allow rapid configuration of the test settings, enabling exhaustive and repeatable tests that help enhance reliability by ensuring that industry standards are complied with. The 401433 Controller Module has in-circuitry that enables users to update conveniently and adapt to evolving network standards during testing.

Module 401433 is a highly effective, comprehensive testing solution for AX/4000 system access network applications, such as mobile backhaul, switching, routing, multicast, and MPLS technologies. It allows network providers to identify and resolve potential issues much earlier, thereby promoting better assurance of the network's performance and stability.
