N5392C Ethernet 10/100/1G Compliance Software with Energy Efficient Ethernet

Standards supported

• Provides rapid and automated testing of Energy Efficient Ethernet network devices
• Automates compliance test coverage for tests in the Energy Efficient Ethernet IEEE802.3az-2010 specification
• Wide range of Energy Efficient Ethernet electrical tests are performed for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T

Automation

• Automated setup ensures result repeatability and lets test engineers run the application without being an expert on Energy Efficient Ethernet testing procedures
• Test setup wizard guides user through test selection, configuration, connection, execution and results reporting
• Oscilloscope setup is automatically configured for each test, and measurement connection setups are displayed
• Test results reports test configuration, measurements made, pass/fail status, margin analysis and waveforms

Extensibility

• Use the user-defined application tool to:
• Create and fully integrate custom tests, configuration variables and connection instructions
• Insert external application calls into the run sequence, such as MATLAB scripts or your device controller
• Configure additional external instruments used in your test suite

The N5392C Ethernet 10/100/1G compliance software with Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) provides you with a fast and easy way to verify and debug your 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T Energy Efficient Ethernet designs. The Ethernet electrical test software lets you automatically execute Ethernet physical-layer (PHY) electrical tests and displays the results in a flexible report format. In addition to the measurement data, the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your device passed or failed each test.

The Ethernet 10/100/1G compliance software with Energy Efficient Ethernet performs a wide range of electrical tests to meet the Energy Efficient Ethernet electrical specifications for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T systems as documented in the IEEE 802.3az-2010 standard.

The N5392C Ethernet 10/100/1G compliance software with Energy Efficient Ethernet requires the Wilder Technologies Energy Efficient Ethernet electrical compliance test fixture (EEE-TPA-ERK), at least one InfiniiMax active differential probe (1131A, 1132A, 1134A, 1168A or 1169A) with E2678A socketed differential probe head, and two SMA cables (for 1000BASE-T measurements only).

For standard Ethernet jitter measurements for 1000BASE-T, you need to use the N5396A gigabit Ethernet jitter test cable with the N5395C Ethernet test fixture; a second InfiniiMax active differential probe and two E2677A or N5381A solder-in differential probe heads; and a BNC cable (for 1000BASE-T and 10BASE-T measurements only).
