Properties

• Universal: the combined fault recovery in copper cables, fiber optic cables and Wi-Fi solves the extensive range of problems with the help of one tool

• Fast: automatic testing by one button with the analysis "is undergone / failure" reveals the most widespread problems approximately in a minute

• Idle time: the standardized fault recovery and assessment of network performance allows technical specialists of different skill levels to solve more problems with confidence

• Complex complex client representation of performance establishes a root cause of a problem, since the physical layer, through network and to placed on the application server

• Cloud: automatic cloud tracking of trends of results and performance review for elimination of periodic problems of the client from any location by means of the device connected to the Internet with the browser

• Detection: automatic wire both detection and the analysis provides to Wi-fi visibility of attached devices, mutual connections of devices and problems

• Performance: performance measurement of wire L2/L3 and Wi-Fi of a way between two points to an equal node or the reflector for confirmation and documentation of readiness of the line and compliance of SLA

• VoIP: the built-in monitoring of calls of VoIP and complex maintaining the magazine simplifies fault recovery of VoIP of a desktop in real time without couplers or the switched mirror ports

• Capture: capture of wire packets, packets of Wi-fi, VoIP and the autotest optimizes cooperation and escalation of the most complex problems

• Platform of testing Versiv: expands opportunities with adding of new modules in process of development of requirements of testing.

2015: The OneTouch AT Network Assistant model for tests of DPC networks is produced

On June 18, 2015 the Fluke Networks company, the decision maker for testing and monitoring of performance of networks, presented the solution of OneTouch AT Network Assistant for check of work of infrastructure of DPC as a part of the product line^[1].

The OneTouch AT Network Assistant device with the interface for connection of connections of 10 Gbps is intended for testing of infrastructure of DPC at installation and connection of active network equipment, check of correctness of its settings, stress testing and carrying out acceptance tests. Unlike devices for certification of cable systems which problems include identification of physical problems with laying of equipment cables the solutions OneTouch AT are intended for ensuring working capacity and performance of networks, identification and elimination of problems at operation of networks when decline in production happens because of faults in work of network infrastructure.

Use of OneTouch AT Network Assistant 10G is focused on testing in DPC and reference segments of infrastructure of LAN where there are high-speed connections. The device provides ports for testing of copper and optical connections at speeds of 10G and the complete OneTouch AT tools for search and fault recovery. In the updated OneTouch AT model the possibility of the simplified check of performance is provided to DPC. Engineers can create the AutoTest profiles for each DPC or its sector. The beginning engineer in the course of upgrade of infrastructure of DPC can use this profile to check existence of connection and availability of network services.

The device allows performance measurement on the set route (path performance) in remote points using the Fluke Networks OptiView XG tablet. OneTouch AT 10G in this case serves as the device supplementing OptiView XG when conducting testing of performance at speeds up to 10 Gbps.

The functionality initiates performance test on OptiView XG from OneTouch AT 10G located on distant end. The specialist can execute far off the test on the OptiView XG device located at the main office, without involving the second engineer that increases efficiency of resource planning at operation and testing. The OneTouch AT 10G device will help with transfer of tasks of search and fault recovery to less qualified specialists in a command, being a part of tools that raises the overall level of qualification of a support service.

"New OneTouch AT 10G is the solution for testing of infrastructure of DPC, one more step towards to those specialists who build and operate data processing centers — Elena Ivanova, the area director of Fluke Networks on sales in Russia and the CIS countries told. — The equipment perfectly solves the problems connected with Metro Ethernet testing, stress testing and also supports the new standard of testing of network performance Y.1564. Besides, we are glad to offer our clients who are already using Optiview XG tablets, an opportunity to save on our equipment due to sharing of the tablet with new OneTouch AT 10G instead of purchasing the second tablet".

OneTouch AT 10G is on sale with the Versiv chassis or without it. The model with one module is intended for clients who want to add a feature for testing 10G to the existing tester of OneTouch AT or other product Versiv.

In adding to testing of copper and optics at speeds up to 1 Gbps, OneTouch AT devices execute testing Wi-Fi and the inline-analysis for the access level, including search and fault recovery and assessment of performance.
