Test Lab Automation
100% automation can't be achieved without automating the physical layer
Manual cabling presents many challenges and inhibits automation
Infrastructure 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
Test Automation
- 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.
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.
Sustain continuous testing operations
Remote access and test execution
- Wire-once to gain remote control of the lab's infrastructure
- Set up and execute tests remotely
- Supports WFH/low contact environments
- Equipment is share among a broader user base decreasing CAPEX
- Maximize lab efficiency and equipment utilization.
Integrate with existing automation systems
Realize full potential of test automation platforms
- 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.
