Network and Service Companion NSC200-LOOPBACK-PLUS 10G Ethernet Loopback Package
NSC-200 Network and Service Companion package with Ethernet Loopback 10G for L2/L3 loopback in Y.1564 and RFC-2544 service tests.
- Standard
- IEEE 802.3
- Interface rates
- 10M, 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G Ethernet
Overview
The NSC200-LOOPBACK-PLUS is an ordering package of the VIAVI Network and Service Companion (NSC-200). It is a compact hand-held device with no screen. This package provides Ethernet Loopback 10G.
The NSC-200 is a test solution for Ethernet, enterprise and data center networks. It can validate business services as a standalone unit. It can also act as a remote loopback device when paired with the T-BERD/MTS-5800 for Y.1564 and RFC2544 tests. Port loopback and source-specific VIAVI loopback are supported on 10M, 100M, 1G and 10G Ethernet.
The unit can stay on site under remote control for long-term testing, failure analysis and SLA monitoring. VIAVI Fusion, a centralized test system, can use NSC units as remote-controlled test agents.
Technicians operate the device through the VIAVI Mobile Tech app on a smartphone or tablet, connected over Bluetooth. Test results and reports are managed through the Job Manager. Reports can be sent through StrataSync in the cloud or directly by email.
