The SmartClass Ethernet product is an easy to use, cost effective Ethernet testing solution for basic physical layer cable testing, layer 2 and layer 3 traffic generation, and full RFC 2544 testing. The rugged, battery operated, application specific test tool enables field technicians to turn-up Ethernet and IP services by running an RFC 2544 test or following a set of methods and procedures. The product has been designed for front-line technicians who do not have experience dealing with emerging Metro Ethernet technologies and need a simple to use solution for Ethernet and IP testing. The SmartClass product comes in two major configurations, one a loopback only device and the other featuring full traffic generation.
