All Functions in One for Field Testing

The AQ1300 series evaluates the performance of various devices, services, and network systems with an Ethernet interface. It can efficiently and accurately verify whether network systems and services meet the specified quality and functionality. If a failure occurs, it can detect the location and nature of the cause.

AQ1301: 10M to 1G, AQ1300: 10M to 10G
Test layer: L2, L3-IPv4, L3-IPv6
Major test items
- Throughput, frame loss, latency, error frame, BERT (Bit Error Rate Test), QoS (Quality of Service), and PNG
L2/L3 loop back function
Pass/Fail judgment function

AQ1301 1

Auto Test Mode

A test scenario that performs multiple tests sequentially can be easily created on a PC, uploaded to an AQ1300/1301, and then performed in the field. Tests are performed automatically and the measurement results are saved automatically. This mode requires minimal training from operator and thus ensures quality and consistent results.

A test with up to eight steps can be registered in one setup file
Up to 48 setup files can be registered with a tester
You can set whether to enable or disable changing each set parameter
You can set the pass/fail criterion for each test item

In-band remote function

The in-band remote function allows the master unit to search for and control slave units located at the far end of the network using a test line to perform synchronized tests.

Search for multiple slave units in the same domain and generate a list of all devices
Master can send commands to the slaves to start/stop transmission and reception
Master can obtain the test results from the slave unit using the inband connection.
