DNA, DNA MX, and DNA PRO support a common set of hot-swappable LIMs.

Line Interface Modules (LIMs)Quickly make the physical connection between your network under test and the analyzer hardware using a LIM. LIMs provide link-layer connectivity to the data acquisition system embedded in DNA hardware. LIMs gather physical and link layer statistics, and provide run-time stream to media. As well, most LIMs contain the hardware resources to generate traffic for their associated network tech-nologies (LAN, WAN, ATM).

The type of LIMs available are:

Local, Remote, and Distributed Use ModelsIncrease the productivity of your network experts and minimize remote testing costs. DNA hardware incorporates a wide variety of access interfaces. DNA PRO and DNA MX support the ability to make a remote connection, start a measurement, drop the connection, and reconnect later to retrieve results. The Multi-User application enables the same ability for DNAs used with Signaling Analyzer software.

Local Take the analyzer with you to per-form tests in your network locally.

Remote attended/unattendedWhen using the DNAs in local mode leave the equipment behind and go back to your office to perform remote analysis using a telemetry option.

DistributedInstall in central offices or network sites and connect remotely using Instrument Manager when you need to test the network. Operate under NTC with other DNA PROs and MX’s for true distributed test-ing including RMON2 capability on LAN and WAN.

Instrument Control Modes and Management

Secure web browser-based controlControl a DNA PRO or a DNA MX using a windows web browser from a standard PC using password-protected Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (https). There is no need to have any Network Analyzer software installed in the client PC. With the wire-less option for the DNA PRO, you can operate the analyzer from a wireless enabled PC.

Instrument ManagerUse Instrument Manager software to configure and control several remote DNA PRO or DNA MX platforms, with or without attached DNAs. Attached DNAs are seen as extra interfaces on the DNA PRO or DNA MX platforms. • Discover a DNA PRO or DNA MX on a local subnet and discover any attached

DNAs• Add a DNA PRO or DNA MX from discovered list (instruments beyond the local

subnet must be added by IP address)• Allow a remote session to the desktop using remote desktop protocol • Update software on multiple DNA PROs and/or DNA MXs simultaneously• Display instrument status – up (reachable)/down (not reachable)/locked (to a user)• Configure DNA hardware (assigning hostnames, changing OS passwords, etc.)• Get DNA status information such as LIM type

The Instrument Manager application can be downloaded from the DNA PRO or DNA MX into the client PC at any time via the PC’s web browser.

DNAs can also be controlled and managed by using the “Select Network Analyzer LIM” feature, making a direct connection from Network Analyzer Software to remote DNA hardware.

13


Time SynchronizationDNA hardware supports three types of time synchronization between multiple DNA platforms:• GPS interface hardware and connectors• NTP through an embedded NTP client• Control/Sync cable (standard RJ-45 10/100 Ethernet cable)

Global Positioning System (GPS) Each member of the DNA analyzer portfolio supports GPS time-synchronization. Using GPS, synchronize any number of these analyzers worldwide for time-cor-related measurements. Standard interfaces are provided for the connection of an external GPS receiver. GPS provides an accuracy of ± 1 µs for LAN ± 5 µs for WAN/ATM LIMs.

Control & Sync In addition to the GPS time-synchronization capability, these analyzers have the JDSU Control & Sync technology hardware. Synchronize interconnected analyzers accurately via the same standard Ethernet cable that handles the TCP/IP/Ethernet control. Time-synchronize a daisy-chain of up to 10 DNAs in a 20 meter cable from a DNA PRO or from a DNA MX. Optionally, the first analyzer in a chain could also receive its timing from a GPS receiver, providing a very flexible time-synchronized test system that can be geographically distributed with unlimited number of DNAs. Control & Sync provides precision of ± 500 ns for LAN, 5 µs for WAN/ATM LIMs.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) Synchronize a DNA via the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to an external NTP server using the Control & Sync In (Ethernet) port on each device. The J6802B DNA MX and J6803B DNA PRO operating systems can be time-synchronized via NTP to an external NTP server using the 10/100 Ethernet telemetry port. The acquisition system in the DNA MX or DNA PRO can, in turn, be synchronized to the DNA MX or DNA PRO operating system using NTP, with an NTP server running on the DNA MX or DNA PRO operating system. NTP provides an accuracy of ± 20 ms.

Use the hardware’s synchronization capa-bilities to time correlate measurements across interfaces and geographies.

14


Run-Time Store to Media (RTSM)Need to collect and analyze traffic over extremely long periods of time? DNAs incor-porate a unique data streaming capability. In RTSM (run-time store to media) mode, the instruments export processed information in run time. The resulting information flow can be sent to a software application to be analyzed in run-time, or can be saved to storage for later analysis. The J6801B DNA, J6802B DNA MX and J6803B DNA PRO can stream to media up to 55 Mbps using the Control and Sync port. By utilizing a dedicated gigabit Ethernet port, the J6801B DNA and J6803B DNA PRO can stream up to 400 Mbps when using the Signaling Analyzer Multi-User software.

RTSM port

The dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port of the J6801B DNA and J6803B DNA PRO allows high performance streaming to media at run time.
