The timing performance of today’s Ethernet networks depends on proving overall synchronization quality, and probing the underlying packet-layer and physical-layer timing mechanisms.
For technologies up to 10 Gb/s, the Calnex Paragon-X offers direct insight to actual device and service behaviour, and the ability to generate a broad range of real-world disruption scenarios to validate the operation of your network devices and systems to industry standards.
The Paragon-X is the definitive one-box solution to rigorously test SyncE, PTP and NTP synchronization mechanisms, as well as E1/T1 sync interfaces and Ethernet OAM. It brings together all the measurements you need — from jitter and wander through to measuring the accuracy of the recovered Time of Day (ToD), Phase (1pps) and Frequency (MTIE/TDEV) — to ensure your products will work reliably in the complex world of Ethernet switches, routers and gateways.
The Paragon-X also offers Network Emulation so you can fully stress-test the transport of real-time services like video and VoIP over next-gen IP platforms and networks. While powerful, fully-integrated traffic filtering targets the effect of impairments on particular packets or particular types of traffic.
Master and Slave EmulationPTP Master and Slave emulation (with optional SyncE support) allows fully controllable protocol and timing test – no additional network equipment required and no Command Line Interface.
