Test Lab Automation
100% automation can't be achieved without automating the physical layer
Manual cabling presents many challenges and inhibits automation
- Manually set up test topologies are time consuming and prone to error.
- Manual topology configuration compromises the efficiency of existing automation systems.
Remote access to test sets, network simulation equipment, and DUTs is nullified by having to locally configure the physical layer.
Simulation of certain network failure conditions and cable breaks are imprecise or impossible.
A Layer 1 switch automates physical cabling in the lab
- Connect your lab infrastructure to the Layer 1 switch: a "wire-once" scenario.
- Topologies are created using software command and are activated in milliseconds.
Complicated test schemes can be stored and easily recreated.
Total remote access to the lab.
Full wire-speed unicast, multicast and broadcast mapping options further simplify cabling dilemmas.
Cable break simulation with programmable start/stop and duration simplify real-life network scenarios.
Integrate with existing automation systems
- Support of multiple management interfaces simplifies integration to a variety of systems.
- Realize the full potential of your existing automation systems.
- Used in conjunction with test automation systems scheduling, reservations, and equipment usage tracking can be implemented.
- Maximize lab efficiency and equipment utilization.
