Spirent Netcom SMB-200

The highly-portable Spirent Communications SmartBits 200 (SMB-0200) is a 4-port performance analysis system that can be easily dispatched to the test site. With GPS support, the SMB-200 can also be used to create a distributed performance analysis system for measuring end-to-end performance, including one-way latency and latency variation. The SMB-200 is based on the same industry standard as the SMB-2000. The SMB-200 and SMB-2000 also share the same software and SmartCards.

With increasingly complex hybrid networks and deployments of advanced technologies, the SMB-200 is the most compact and powerful performance analyzer on the market for end-to-end testing, with options for testing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, ATM, and Frame Relay devices. The SMB-200 supports sophisticated automated industry standard performance tests as defined in RFCs 1242, 1944, 2285, and 2432.

Features

• Small, lightweight, and portable.
• Holds up to four SmartCards.
• Bundled with three PC-based software applications for comprehensive performance analysis (SmartWindow¿, SmartLib¿, and SmartApplications¿).
• Supports a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection to a host PC.
• Provides remote control through the Internet. Can also be controlled via an RS-232 port. 
• Provides GPS Support. You can remotely synchronize the timing mechanism of multiple chassis by using the external GPS kit. This allows accurate measurement of one-way latency and jitter, 100-ns accuracy timestamps, and system start/stop. 
• Includes RJ-45 expansion-in and expansion-out jacks. Accepts external 10 MHz clock signals. 
• Up to 512 chassis can be synchronously connected by using SmartBits multi-chassis extension units.
