software

The Z01s Odin is a robust low-cost 6 port 1 Gigabit Ethernet test module.

Based on Xena’s advanced architecture, the Z01s Odin is a proven traffic generator for testing up to 1G Ethernet. It is available for both the 4U 12-slot XenaBay chassis and the robust transportable 1U XenaCompact chassis.

The Z01s Odin comes complete with Xena’s free XenaManager software – an easy-to-use GUI for handling both routine and advanced test schedules that includes Xena OpenAutomation, Xena2544, Xena1564, Xena3918 and Xena2889.

    ** Requires Source Photonics SFP transceivers with sgmii host interface

  4. Number of transceiver module cages

    6 x SFP

  5. Port statistics (Counter size: 64 bits)

    Link state, FCS errors, pause frames, ARP/PING, error injections, training packet
    All traffic: RX and TX Mbit/s, packets/s, packets, bytes
    Traffic w/o test payload: RX and TX Mbit/s, packets/s, packets, bytes

  6. Adjustable Inter Frame Gap (IFG)

    Configurable from 16 to 63 bytes, default is 20B (12B IFG + 8B preamble)

  7. Transmit line rate adjustment

    Ability to adjust the effective line rate by forcing idle gaps equivalent to -1000 ppm (increments of 10 ppm)

  8. ARP/PING

    Supported (configurable IP and MAC address per port)

  9. Field upgradeable

    System is fully field upgradeable to product releases (FPGA images and Software)

  10. Histogram statistics (Counter size: 64 bits)

    Two real-time histograms per port. Each histogram can measure one of RX/TX packet length, IFG, jitter, or latency distribution for all traffic, a specific stream, or a filter

  11. Tx disable

    Enable/disable of optical laser or copper link

  12. IGMPv2 multicast join/leave)

    IGMPv2 continuous multicast join, with configurable repeat interval

  13. Oscillator characteristics

    •  Initial Accuracy is 3 ppm
    •  Frequency drift over 1st year: +/- 3 ppm (over 15 years: +/- 15 ppm)
    • Temperature Stability: +/- 20 ppm (Total Stability is +/- 35 ppm)

TRANSMIT ENGINE

  1. Number of transmit streams per port

    32 (wire-speed) continuous

  2. Test payload insertion per stream

    Wire-speed packet generation with timestamps, sequence numbers, and data integrity signature optionally inserted into each packet.

  3. Stream statistics (Counter size: 64 bits)

    TX Mbit/s, packets/s, packets, bytes, FCS error

  4. Bandwidth profiles

    Burst size and density can be specified. Uniform and bursty bandwidth profile streams can be interleaved

  5. Field modifiers

    16-bit header field modifiers with inc, dec, or random mode. Each modifier has configurable bit-mask, repetition, min, max, and step parameters. 2 modifiers per stream.

  6. Packet length controls

    Fixed, random, butterfly, and incrementing packet length distributions. Packet length from 56 to 16384 bytes (10M: 6500)

  7. Packet payloads

    Repeated user specified 1 to 18B pattern, a 8-bit incrementing pattern

  8. Error generation

    Undersize length (56B min) and oversize length (16384 (4) max.) packet lengths, injection of sequence, misorder, payload integrity, and FCS errors

  11. Packet scheduling modes

    – Normal (stream interleaved mode). Standard scheduling mode, precise rates, minor variation in packet inter-frame gap.
    – Strict Uniform. New scheduling mode, with 100% uniform packet inter-frame gap, minor deviation from configured rates .
    – Sequential packet scheduling (sequential stream scheduling). Streams are scheduled continuously in sequential order, with configurable number of packets per stream.
    – Burst. Packets per stream are organized in bursts. Bursts from active streams form a burst group. The user specifies time from start of one burst group till start of next burst group.
