Software lets cable tester OK VoIP, net

Licensed software options for the WireScope Pro Cat 6A cable certification tester lets users validate and pre-qualify the VoIP service quality and stress test Ethernet connections. Option N2640A-030 tests MOS value and R-factor of SIP based VoIP services according to ITU-T G.107, while N2640A-011 activates traffic generation up to Gigabit line rate for stress-testing Ethernet links and validating network-traffic-steering capabilities.

Both options require the instrument to have option N2640A-010, which activates the Autodiscovery function for network stations and servers, Autotest, ping, trace route, traffic statistics, and basic SNMP queries like Locate Switch Port. (Software licenses, from $1,100; WireScope Pro, from $7,326 — available now.)
