Flexible analysis for demanding test
applications
As Fibre Channel products constantly increase
in complexity, so do the demands made on testing these products. The new
Rackmount Investigator provides the power and flexibility you need to make
developing and supporting complex Fibre Channel devices, systems and storage
networks easier and more manageable than ever before.
As well as providing new intelligent analysis
features like link topology mapping and an extensive configurable onboard
protocol database, Rackmount Investigator is also extremely flexible providing
up to 16 channels of 1 and 2Gbps analysis with the option of traffic
generation in a single 19" chassis.
The system is designed for connection to a
network (or another computer) using a built-in 10/100Base-T Ethernet port and
can be controlled locally or remotely.
Rackmount Investigator comprises the
Rackmount (RT) Platform with a choice of 1Gbps/2Gbps protocol analyzer and
traffic generation options.
Key Features
- Up to 16 channels per chassis
- 1 and 2Gbps capture at full line rate
- Traffic generation option
- Local or remote network operation
- Latest 'smart triggering' technology

Advanced productivity features make life
easier
Rackmount Investigator uses Absolute Analysis's Fibre
Channel Investigator TM software platform combining powerful analysis features
with the ultimate in ease of use. No matter how complex your test
requirements, Investigator has features to make life easier:
- Comprehensive visual indicators provide
constant feedback on link status, link speed, illegal frames, capture
buffer and frame count
- Capture and display data with just two
clicks
- Unique multi-channel display allows rapid
and intuitive navigation through many channels on a single screen
- Display network topology and devices on
the link using the Mapper feature
- Never need protocol reference documents
again - automatic decodes are provided for over 30 protocols including
FC-VI, FCP-SCSI, FC-SB-2, LLC and IP (or add your own using the protocol
editor)
- Smart triggering technology allows complex
trigger and filter conditions to be configured for almost any situation,
including triggering on performance events
- Customize and save all settings for
different users with profile manager
- Share trace files with remote users using
free Trace Viewer software
