Catapult DCT2000®
Overview:
Flexible. Scalable. High Performance. The DCT2000 test system consists of
both hardware and software elements and can be reconfigured and
expanded as your testing needs change. The DCT2000 provides more
than just simple top-level traffic diagnostics. It also supports
the complex lower layer analysis essential for full protocol stack
testing. Depending on your test requirements, the DCT2000 system can be configured
for different protocol testing, or go from functional testing to load
testing.
The DCT2000 m500 test platform delivers unprecedented load test performance by using an industry standard mesh backplane that allows the physical test interface to be driven by one or many mesh computing unit cards. The CompactPCI mesh backplane is the heart of the m500 architecture and provides up to ten times the performance of traditional PCI bus test platforms. The mesh backplane supports full bandwidth of 765 Gb/sec.
The DCT2000 p200 and p400 platforms utilize the PCI bus architecture and are ideal for functional, conformance and interoperability testing. A range of form factors, from rackmount to desktop to transportable, meet a wide range of test environment needs.
To provide even more flexibility, the DCT2000 offers a multi-user
development environment-2G, 2.5G, 3G, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS),
WiMAX, VoIP, SS7 and other telecom tests can run simultaneously.
DCT2000 Development Environment:
The DCT2000 test system employs CATTgen as its main development environment.
Through its easy-to-use graphical interface, users can create and
execute complex, multi-protocol test scripts supporting hundreds of protocols
and variants.
CATTgen is used for:
- Test Development
- Custom development for multi-test scenarios
- Negative testing
- Lower layer protocol stack control
- Test Execution
- Auto-execution
- Multi-user
- Support utilities: Traffic Generator, X•Stream packet
generator, PESQ voice analysis
- Test Result Analysis
DCT2000 users can extend their testing through alternative development
environments such as DCPL (Digital Communication Programming Language),
C++ and TTCN-3. |
