The Agilent FrameScope 350 is the first handheld analyser that enables IT support staff, network installers and service providers to verify the performance of key network services such as web, file, e-mail, print and DNS servers. The FrameScope 350 is also the industry's first analyser to combine full Category 6 cable certification with active network testing, reducing the cost of test by offering installers and maintenance technicians two tools in one, says the manufacturer, Agilent Technologies.
"Companies need to test business-critical network services to ensure that users can do their jobs effectively," said Steve Bates, General Manager in Agilent's Service Test Division. "The powerful automation features of the FrameScope 350 enable even inexperienced technicians to solve network problems, measure network performance and certify cabling, all with a single, easy-to-use tool."
FrameScope 350's easy-to-use colour touch screen allows users in switched Fast Ethernet and TCP/IP environments to quickly isolate and resolve protocol, configuration, performance and cabling problems. The product's AutoTest performance test suite uses objective performance metrics to measure the response times of key network services such as web, file, e-mail, print and DNS servers. This eliminates the expense and complexity of baselining, and allows network staff to locate under-performing services quickly and efficiently.
The FrameScope 350 also troubleshoots problems such as utilisation, broadcasts, or collisions. It performs Category 6 and fibre optic cable testing, including full certification to US and international cabling and networking standards. A network discovery capability lets users survey the network and generate a complete list of workstations, switches, routers, servers and other network devices.
Said to be easily installed and operated throughout the network by first-level technicians, it can be remotely controlled through a web browser, enabling network managers to assist local staff by monitoring and identifying problems from the central office.
