The GPON Xpert multi-layer analyzer is a unique protocol analyzer for G-PON products. GPON Xpert is a modular tool designed for R&D, laboratory and field application engineers engaged in the development, testing and deployment of G-PON standard-compliant solutions. GPON Xpert verifies the interoperability of G-PON products offered by different vendors, and indicates compliance of any combination of OLT and ONT/ONU modems to the G-PON standard.
Complete Analysis of the 10G-EPON and OAM Protocols
Neutral Unbiased Testing Tool – No PON Chipset
Multi-Layer Analysis Including MPCPDUs, OAM PDUs and Data PDUs
Intuitive User Interface, Variety of Exporting and Reporting Options
The 10G-EPON Xpert is a unique, non-intrusive multi-layer protocol analyzer for 10G-EPON networks and products. It tests and compares the functionality of OLTs and ONUs and verifies the standard compliance and interoperability of 10G-EPON products from different vendors. It is a powerful tool for telecom operators, MSOs and equipment vendors, as well as for technology and chipset companies.
Specifically designed for R&D, laboratory and field application engineers, the 10G-EPON Xpert is a neutral, unbiased testing tool that helps telecom operators, MSOs and vendors accelerate time-to-market by cutting significant time from development, deployment and troubleshooting of 10G-EPON solutions.
As an independent and unbiased testing platform, the 10G-EPON Xpert is built without using any PON chipset. Using its unique multi-layer probing capability, it lays out a comprehensive picture of the protocols and traffic running line. It analyzes and displays the MPCPDUs and the OAM PDUs as well as the upper layers, including Ethernet, PPP, PPPoE, IPv4/IPv6, TCP, UDP, DHCP, IGMP, HTTP and RTP.
The 10G-EPON Xpert features a rich array of intuitive displays, graphs and tables for testing and troubleshooting of the 10G-EPON OLTs and ONUs. The displayed information includes downstream and upstream messages, procedures view, connectivity configuration diagrams, statistics and more.
The 10G-EPON Xpert clearly indicates abnormal behaviors and deviations from the relevant standards, thus verifying standard compliance and interoperability between different vendors' OLTs and ONUs.
The 10G-EPON Xpert is available as a stand-alone product, or in combination with TraceSpan’s NG-PON Xpert, to allow the capture and analysis of the XG-PON, XGS-PON and/or NG-PON2 protocols using the same hardware platform.
NG-PON Xpert supports XG-PON, XGS-PON, NG-PON 2, 10G-EPON packet capture and protocol analysis.
The NG-PON Xpert can also serve as an OLT simulator to test ONUs independently. It can generate PLOAM messages to activate ONUs, and also act as an OMCI host to generate and transmit OMCI messages. The combination of NG-PON Xpert OLT emulator and analyzer provides an integrated ONU consistency testing tool that generates commands, analyzes ONU responses, compares their behavior with expected consistency, and reports any inconsistencies detected.
The NG-PON Xpert can also serve as an ONU emulator, capable of simulating 256 ONUs: Multi ONU emulator. On the one hand, it allows OLT suppliers and service providers to test OLTs without the need for any ONUs, and on the other hand, it provides additional coverage for testing functions and options that are not fully covered by traditional settings for multiple ONUs. Although real ONUs can still be used in some testing scenarios, a multi ONU simulator can significantly reduce the number of ONUs, saving a lot of space and reducing power consumption, while ensuring high reliability and repeatability of testing.
