The new EtherScope nXG user interface combines wired and wireless data analytics and hardware designed to support a wide range of technologies such as 10G line speed (over copper and fiber), NBASE-T, Wi-Fi 5/Wi-Fi 6 and high-power PoE (Power over Ethernet).
Key features and capabilities that enable users to:
• Test, validate, and troubleshoot the latest network technology: Users can assess compatibility with NBASE-T, 10G, and Wi-Fi 5/Wi-Fi 6 using advanced Android-based troubleshooting apps and specially designed test hardware. Additional testing capabilities include 10G line-rate packet capture, network discovery and path analysis, 24/7 RF traffic analysis, cable testing, and TruePower™ PoE load testing.
• Verify performance: The product offers 10G line-rate performance testing for critical servers, uplinks, and key end devices over Ethernet, iPerf testing over Wi-Fi or wired links, and testing against another EtherScope nXG or other NetAlly tools for final testing.
• Bridging the gap between engineer and technician: Users can delve deeper to verify, troubleshoot, and document complex networks with multiple VLANs and Wi-Fi SSIDs, or take advantage of out-of-the-box automated tests that require minimal skills and training. Through EtherScope nXG, field engineers can extend their expertise through remote control to collaborate with technicians at distant sites to resolve difficult issues without the need for travel.
• Assessing network health: With Wi-Fi air quality testing for oversubscribed channels, Wi-Fi channel utilization analysis, and network discovery, EtherScope nXG can help "prove it's not the network" or identify the root cause faster than other non-integrated methods.
• Uncovering security risks: EtherScope nXG's powerful network discovery technology identifies unknown switches, hidden SSIDs, and Wi-Fi test devices, while also classifying devices by security status, detecting malicious actors, and more.
• Seamlessly capture and manage field test data: Users can enjoy automated and centralized reporting, analysis, documentation, and integration with network management systems through NetAlly's free Link-Live cloud service.
