Paragon-X

Calnex Paragon-X

The Calnex Paragon-X provides testing gPTP (generic Precision Time Protocol) also known as IEEE 802.1AS. The Paragon-X:

  • Provides one-box testing for gPTP-defined Time-Aware systems – End Stations and Relays(Bridges).
  • Allows complete testing of gPTP Correction Field, Neighbor Rate ratio and CSRO (Cumulative Scaled Rate Offset).
  • Can use integrated packet impairments to verify gPTP performance in the presence of network impairments such as delay, PDV or dropped packets.
  • In addition to detailed gPTP/802.1AS testing, the Paragon-X also supports the following profiles: IEEE1588-2008, G.8265.1 (Frequency), G.8275.1 (Phase), C37.238-2011 (Power), and Customer-defined profiles.
  • Contact Calnex for additional information

The Paragon-X is also available for use by UNH-IOL IEEE 1588/PTP Test Service Members

Oregano NIC

Oregano Systems syn1588 NIC

  • The IOL INTACT™ Avnu Alliance Member Edition for gPTP currently requires the Oregano Systems syn1588 PCIe NIC.
  • 2 NICs are required for the 12 Bridge-specific tests, and 3 Bridge test parts require 3 NICs.
  • For End Station testing, only one syn1588 NIC is required.
  • The SYN1588PCIENIC-L (large PCI bracket) or SYN1588PCIENIC-S (small PCI bracket) are likely sufficient for your in-house needs.
  • NOTE: Only v2.0 and newer cards are supported.

Spirent TestCenter (STC)

Avnu Certification testing at UNH-IOL has utilized STC solutions in enhancing layer 1 and AVB testing.

For additional information please refer to the Spirent AVB/TSN Solutions Datasheet & Spirent Automotive C50 Datasheet. The Spirent test platforms such as the C50 (with 100BASE-T1 native interface) improve Automotive capabilities for certification testing completed by the UNH IOL and for in-house testing. Spirent also offers conformance solution that follows Avnu test specifications. The performance AVB test solution is supported across all STC platforms covering 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G/40G and 100G.
