Prowla P1 - Ethernet Analyzer

The Prowla P1 Ethernet Analyzer is a compact and cost-effective solution for commissioning Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel access networks. This analyzer is equipped to perform in-service testing without disrupting the network.

The Ultimate Next Generation Network Test Solution

Until very recently, fiber based GigE communications has been reserved for costly services aimed at very large corporate enterprise networks. That is now changing as the telecom carriers rapidly evolve their networks towards true 21st century networks in an effort to remain competitive while rolling out market winning services to a far larger base of bandwidth hungry consumers.

Building efficient networks that streamline voice, data and video packets to and from all subscribers of the served area through next generation switches and routers requires careful planning and massive equipment upgrades. With this in mind Consultronics has developed a test tool that ensures that next generation networks offer the performance required by today's network managers.

The Prowla P1 is a powerful analyzer that has been purpose built with performance and efficiency in mind. Telecom service providers and other carriers will benefit from this award-winning package that combines exceptional test functionality with an attractive price.

An Exceptional Analyzer:
The Prowla P1 packs all of the needed testing functionality into a small and field portable package. It features the possibility of two full rate optical GigE Ethernet test ports, two Fibre Channel test ports, or two electrical GigE test ports and two 100/10baseT test ports plus a 100/10baseT Ethernet control port and a USB control port.

Perfect for FTTx Deployments:
The Prowla P1 can terminate Optical GigE circuits for first time commissioning. It can also be inserted in circuit with true optical rate pass through mode analysis.

Backhaul Network Testing:
The Prowla P1 is an important part of supporting carrier facilities. Whether GigE links are in place to support the largest corporate enterprise customers, for the latest generation of DSLAMs or FTTx media servers, for Storage Area Networks (SAN), or simply to aggregate and carry voice and data traffic, the Prowla P1 is an important part of network build-outs. It offers a cost effective way to bring service providers excellent visibility of their networks through in-service monitoring.

The Prowla P1 offers a variety of control and operating features:
Simple front panel mounted LCD display and navigation keys using a Notebook or PDA equipped with a web browser connected by Ethernet or USB using web browser access from elsewhere in network via the test interfaces.

The Prowla P1 can be accessed and controlled through the use of standard and commercially available wireless dongles. Either Bluetooth or 802.11b can be used. The Prowla P1 can therefore be controlled untethered using a nearby wireless PDA or notebook computer. The sophisticated and complete auto-configuration philosophy of the Prowla P1 will allow the technician to initiate a test with a single button press. With its embedded, dynamic user documentation and help facilities even a new user can rapidly put the unit into use. The Prowla P1 will even inform the user as to what interface on the connection panel to use.

Introducing the PRC System

Consultronics PRC is a Prowla software support product that runs on a PC and is used for managing network connected Prowla units. The Product Resource Center that is provided with all Prowla units can be used to manage multiple units. It manages the units' software version and integral documentation upgrading, unit IP address assignment/management, etc. The preferred mode of operation utilizes the power of the Internet via PC control to ensure that the user has the most up to date information available for the connected units.

Prowla P1 - Tests and Functions

The Prowla P1 performs a number of standard tests for equipment and network measurement, assessment and performance monitoring. These tests and functions include:

RFC2544 run as a complete automatic sequence or in part. The tests can be run with or without VLAN tagging and Prowla P1 allows user defined pass/fail criteria to be specified and tested against.
Ping and Trace Route for connectivity testing.
Packet Jitter
Background load generation for simulation assessment.

A Monitor Mode for analyzing load traffic with test and control packet insertion and removal
