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
