Xgig® Fibre Channel BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester)
Physical layer testing requires worst-case data loading and bit-by-bit data checking with results presented in an industry accepted format.
The Xgig BERT verifies data integrity by sending industry-standard worst-case data patterns through network devices. These data patterns are designed to stress the physical layer of the system, with patterns specifically developed to check frequency response, data dependencies and network interface components. With bit-by-bit comparison, any difference between the transmitted and received data is detected, counted and captured for additional analysis. Unique data patterns can be created to meet special test requirements.
The Xgig BERTs is protocol aware for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel. The unit recognizes data modifications allowed by devices on the link and does not report them as errors. It can also greatly reduce manufacturing test times for test hubs, host bus adapters, Fibre Channel RAIDs, and other active or passive devices by stressing all of the components in the data path.
