Data Sheet

The low-cost The GigE Responder provides loopback functionality in a low-cost, handheld
GigE Responder
platform that is the perfect companion to the SunSet MTT Ethernet and
provides Ethernet
loopback and ping Gigabit Ethernet modules as well as the STT Ethernet, STT Metro, and STT
functions in a ONE modules. When Ethernet and IP traffic passes through a switch or
handheld, battery
router, the source and destination addresses are checked, logged, and
powered chassis.
used for directing the traffic. A simple hard loop like those used for TDM
networks are insufficient for testing. Instead, a smart loop device must swap
the source and destination addresses in the MAC and IP headers.

With a standard, full-featured test set on one end of a circuit and the GigE Responder on the other, a technician can verify
throughput, bit error rate, roundtrip delay, packet jitter (delay variation), and quality of service. The GigE Responder is compatible
with RFC 2544 testing and is also well suited for Ethernet over SONET/SDH (EOS) testing. The ping function verifies Layer 3
connectivity for Internet access, Voice over IP (VoIP), IPTV, and other IP services.
