Description
Spirent Adtech SX13 Data Link Simulator
Spirent Adtech SX13 Data Link Simulator creates the same delay and error characteristics caused by long-distance terrestrial and satellite data links. By providing realistic simulations of actual network conditions, they allow users to stress test equipment and network applications without the expense and inconsistency associated with on-line testing.
Utilizing dual-channel, full-duplex interfaces, these devices provide true bi-directional testing using programmable delays, random bit errors, and burst errors. Multiple delay and error events can be programmed into complex sequences to simulate a wide variety of adverse link conditions, or even specific events such as targeting framing bits and testing CPE alarm thresholds.
Applications
Spirent Adtech SX13 Data Link Simulator can be used to test the effects of digital data links on the operation, performance, and reliability of multiplexers, bridges, encrypters, network applications, and related communications hardware and software products.
