Telecommunications are moving towards packet networking, and Ethernet has

indeed proven to be a viable, compatible and cost-effective solution.

Operators and manufacturers are delivering converged services that will conquer
metropolitan and access networks, and this is why Trend Communications designed
Aurora Tango Gigabit Ethernet, your assistant in the installation, commissioning and
troubleshooting of new broadband, datacom and triple play services.

The Ethernet Challenge
The emergence of Ethernet in Metropolitan Networks (MAN) is leading the
migration from circuit-oriented to packet-oriented data networks. This means
that Ethernet will have to face a variety of new physical-layer multiservice
nodes and carry data over longer distances than before.
Thanks to its bandwidth capacity, flexibility and low cost, Ethernet is quickly
becoming the most common interface for both data communications and
multimedia applications like VoIP and IPTV.
Trends Aurora Tango Gigabit Ethernet will help you to meet these challenges.
This modular, extremely light and portable tool will be your personal assistant
in service deployment and SLA verification.

Maintenance
Once the Gigabit Ethernet networ rk is deployed, you
cannot just sit back and relax. Poor or performance is
bound to occur, and when it does, A Aurora Tango will be
there to help you to diagnose and fix t x the problem by
testing the performance of the link thr hroughput, link
utilisation and MAC errored frames.
Use Aurora Tango to test the IP and higher layer yers,
analysing the packets on the network, for example e
UDP or TCP.
One of the most important features of Aurora Tango
Gigabit Ethernet is its ability to generate real Ethernet
g y g traffic with differing Class-of-Service attributes by using
the Multistream Traffic Generator.
If there is no traffic on the network, take advantage of
the testers Ping and Trace Route features to set up
network paths and resolve routing mismatches.

All the Test Applications
for Installation and SLA Maintenance
Copper/Fibre
Installation
Aurora Tango Gigabit Ethernet is the
most efficient assistant you can find
for physical layer testing, for both
copper and fibre.
For copper cables you can measure
length, detect pair swap, polarity
swap, skew, cable short/open circuit,
impedance mismatch, and run a BERT.
If you are working with fibre, you
can check continuity, measure
optical power or run a BERT to
measure quality.
on Traffic Generatio
Aurora Tangos transmitter can
simultaneously generate multiple
so traffic streams at full wire speed, s
you can stress network links and
nodes with ease.

Capture and
Decoding
With Aurora Tango, you can choose
between one or two bidirectional
ports that you can use to capture ports that you can use to capture
traffic on a network. This way you
can view the protocol activity and
Ethernet layer performance ormance statistics,
for example pac packet counts by size
and packe cket errors.
Tha hanks to Aurora Tangos capability
tto filter traffic by address, you can
easily spot problems, saving time
and resources.
The tester includes DNS/DHCP
support, making configuration easier
and more efficient.
