VeEX has released the V-SAM test suite for its VePAL V300 and VePAL V100+ series Ethernet products. The V-SAM feature is based on the recently ratified ITU-T Y.1564 standard, which introduces a test suite suited for Carrier Ethernet and Mobile Backhaul environments. It will be showcased at Cable-Tec Expo next week.Test profiles can be created, stored and recalled on the tester. Test supervisors can also create profiles offline on a PC using ReVeal software for subsequent upload to the test set. A Pass/Fail banner and summary tables provide a visual overview of the status of all services. Color coding of failed or failing parameters alerts and informs the user so that additional troubleshooting can be performed.
