WAN Testing is performed by RADCOM’s Prism family of protocol analyzers. It provides solutions for testing various WAN networks including applications for Frame Relay, ISDN and X.25.
In Frame Relay testing, main features include Expert Troubleshooter, a Frame Relay fault finder application; DLCI activity analysis and load, an application that shows the active DLCI's and their current status; user and network anlaysis and 7 layer protocol decoding; CIR violation testing, as well as Monitoring; and User and Network Simulation.
For ISDN RADCOM provides both Analysis and Simulation supporting both ISDN BRI and PRI. In addition, the ISDN Consultant learns, summarizes, displays and reports line usage, billing information, performance parameters and protocol errors regarding ISDN circuits.
RADCOM's X.25 solution provides both monitoring and simulation of X.25 networks.
The Prism also provides comprehensive support of other WAN protocols such as PPP, HDLC, Asyn PPP, SS7 and others. These are only a sample of the range of applications available for WAN networks.
The capability of simultaneously monitoring both the WAN side and the LAN or ATM side of the network, enables users to measure the time it takes for a packet to travel from one side of a network to the other, and to identify problems in a certain area of the network and isolate them.
