New capabilities in EtherScope Network Assistant are designed to help Value Added Resellers (VARs) and System Integrators (SIs) expand their network installation business. The company claims VARs and SIs installing new networks can now install, validate, and document LAN installations faster and at lower cost.
The EtherScope Network Assistant is a handheld network analyzer that helps network professionals quickly solve problems on 10, 100, and Gigabit, twisted pair and optical fiber LANs and wireless LANs.
Installers, VARs and SIs can use EtherScope's new Service Performance Tool to demonstrate and document those network services critical for acceptable LAN operation (DHCP, DNS, web) are available and responsive.
Validation results are captured by the EtherScope Network Assistant and turned into documentation that characterizes LAN and WAN link performance at turn-up. Performance issues later noted by the customer can be compared against this turn-up documentation. Validation documentation serves as proof of a project successfully completed.
Other new installation tests are provided by the expanded Ethernet performance test suite. Users can measure and assess end-to-end Ethernet performance using new RFC 2544 procedures and other tests, including jitter and bit errors, with customizable pass/fail criteria.
In addition the EtherScope Network Assistant also sports enhanced troubleshooting with the addition of draft 802.11n access point detection and location.
The company says all EtherScope Network Assistants shipped after April 28 will include new version 4 software.
