AE5501 TRAFFIC TESTERMINI

Simple is best.
That is how we believe field measuring instruments should be. The AE5501 is built for installation and maintenance of networks such as wideband Ethernet and CATV access networks, working in Layer 2 to Layer 3. It has various hardware interfaces (10BASE-T up to 1000BASE-T, SX, LX) to flexibly adapt to multiple Ethernet networks with simple operation. It is designed to be your tool of choice.

Features

Whether it is accessing data traffic, analyzing data delay values or monitoring networks for frame loss, the TrafficTesterMini provides users with the convenience to call up pre-set test conditions and execute traffic tests with only the touch of a few buttons. Even changingtest conditions is straightforward.
We have reinforced the capabilities of the TrafficTesterMini with a DHCP client function, ARP function, TELNET remote control, and MACRO programming (available as of revision 3.01).

  • Performance testing at full-wire rates of 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, and 1 Gbit/s    
  • Test conditions pre-programmable (comes w/AE5730 Setup software)
  • Setting errors can be minimized through preset measurement conditions, greatly improving operation efficiency
  • Telnet-based remote control
  • Testing networks including routers (Layer 3 line compatible)
  • Reducing operator workloads by creating macros containing measurement conditions
  • Achieving high-quality Ethernet measurement
  • High traffic-generating flexibility
  • Traffic Rate, Data Delay, Error Frame Count, Statistic Frame Count, PING

A handy, easy-to-operate traffic generator with:

  • Preset test conditions, saving you time working in the field
  • Flexible traffic generation, saving you from spending a fortune on a highend tester
  • Easy traffic rate, data delay, and frame loss checks that save training expences training

And there's more!

  • Adapts to Fast Ethernet and Gig E networks.
  • Generates IPv4, IPv4 Multi, and IPv6 frames.
  • DHCP, ARP reply, ARP ping capability.
  • Runs on rechargeable batteries (approximately two hours with GBIC).
  • Converts test result files to CSV format (using Setup Software, AE5730).
  • TELNET realtime test control available.
  • MACRO programs for running preset test conditions.

What Can the AE5501 Do?

Ping in Gig E

GigE Ping in a handy size tester. Choose a frame length from 64 to 1518. Round trip time available. VLAN tag and DHCP IP addresses available.

Generate Traffic to Check Transmittion Quality

  • Traffic Rate Test
    Adapts to 10/100/1000BASE full wire testing environments. Pseudo-random transmission, fixed frame burst transmission available. Traffic rate (%), frame/sec., and bit/sec. values will be registered in the resulting file.
  • Data Delay Test
    Loopback transmission allows tester to see the delay time of the network, both backwards and forwords. Not required to link two AE5501s on a single PC or to move the AE5501 to where it can receive GPS signals. The AE5501 includes on L2/L3 level loopback function.
  • Frame Loss Check
    Has a statistical TX and RX frame counter. Combined with the "Constant  (Burst)/Count" transmission mode, execution of a frame loss check is simple.

Error Frame Counter

Statistical counter for: CRC errors Oversized frame Undersized frame Alignment error frames Pause packets Collision errors at half link.

Example of installation testing procedures

This hand-held instrument for Ethernet installation and maintenance can handle 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, and 1 Gbit/s networks with a single unit, implementing quick and easy measurement.

Easy setting of test conditions on a personal computer

Viewing results files

Converting results files in CSV format with a single click

Up to 100 measurement results files can be automatically saved. These files can be transferred to a personal computer, so as to be easily managed and compiled as well as to be attached to e-mail for information exchange.
