Xena Networks - Xena1564 Windows Desktop Application
- Full configuration and performance testing according to Y.1564
- Complete validation of Ethernet service-level agreements (SLAs) in a single test
- Multiple protocols supported per UNI (Ethernet, Customer and Service VLANs, MPLS, IPv4, IPv6, and UDP)
- Define Per-UNI or per-CoS bandwidth profiles, and specify CoS-to-DSCP mapping
- Support for different network topologies and traffic flow directions
Y.1564 is the ITU-T standard for turning up, installing and trouble-shooting Ethernet-based services. Formulated as an improvement over RFC2544, it is the only standard test methodology that allows for complete validation of Ethernet service-level agreement’s (SLAs) in a single test.
Xena1564 provides full support for both the configuration and performance test types described in Y.1564. It is installed together with XenaManager and uses the same terminology. The simple intuitive GUI makes it easy to connect one or more XenaCompact and/or XenaBay chassis for testing Layer 2 and Layer 3.
You can define multiple Ethernet services and organize them in a custom folder hierarchy. Xena1564 supports different network topologies and traffic flow directions, and can be used for either IPv4 or IPv6.
Via Xena1564, you can define the protocol layers supported by each UNI (Ethernet, Customer and Service VLANs, MPLS, IP and UDP) as well as defining either per-UNI or per-CoS bandwidth profiles for each UNI, plus you can specify CoS-to-DSCP mapping.
Test reports can be generated in both PDF and XML format and there are extensive configuration options for fine-tuning the tests.
|
Committed Information Rate (CIR) |
Defines the maximum transmission rate for a service where the service is guaranteed certain performance objectives. These objectives are typically defined and enforced via SLAs |
|---|---|
|
Excess Information Rate (EIR) |
Defines the maximum transmission rate above the committed information rate considered as excess traffic. This excess traffic is forwarded as capacity allows and is not subject to meeting any guaranteed performance objectives (best effort forwarding) |
|
Reporting |
Reports are available in PDF and .xml format |

Supported hardware |
All Xena testers and all port speeds from 10/100/1000M, 10G, 40G, and 100G. |

Most of us know Z400 as the Nordic god of thunder and lightning. But in the world of Ethernet testing world, Thor plays a starring role in Xena’s Ethernet Traffic Generation solutions.
Thor boasts some truly heroic features – like being able to test both NRZ and PAM4 speeds. For NRZ based Ethernet at data rates of 10G / 25G / 40G / 50G and 100G. And for PAM4 based Ethernet at data rates of 50G / 100G / 200G / 400G. It can also test Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT).
In the Xena line we also have Z10 Odin (NRZ testing 10Mbps to 10G), Z100 Loki (NRZ testing 10G to 100G), and Z800 Freya (10G PAM4 to 800G PAM4) and in the future also 1.6 Terabits.
E100 Chimera can impair Ethernet traffic at 5 speeds up to 100Gbps to emulate real-world network behavior
- E100 Chimera supports a broad range of impairments (latency/jitter, packet & port impairments, flexible distributions, BW shaping etc)
- True wire-speed impairment @ 100Gbps (plus 50 / 40 / 25 & 10Gbps) NRZ and PAM4
- Ease of use – E100 Chimera is a stand-alone impairment tool that integrates seamlessly with Xena’s traffic generator, letting you speed up your work flow by using the same SW to both generate and impair Ethernet traffic.
- Highest port density in the industry – plus you can reserve individual port-pairs without blocking access to the others
- Setting up custom impairment distributions is a breeze
- Powerful, easy-to-use automation & scripting options
- Reduce service stoppages with a fanless design
- Inspect multiple sites through the support for four GigE Vision and four USB3 Vision cameras
- Simplify cabling for GigE Vision installations using Powerover-Ethernet (PoE)-enabled ports
- Tackle deep learning and traditional machine vision applications with a mobile-class embedded twelfth-generation Intel Core processor
- Connect separately to the factory floor and enterprise networks via two more Gigabit Ethernet ports
- Synchronize with other equipment using the integrated real-time digital I/Os with rotary encoder support and RS-232/RS-485 ports
- Streamline application development using the Aurora Design Assistant flowchart-based IDE or the Aurora Imaging Library SDK
- Tackle machine vision applications with utmost confidence using field-proven tools for analyzing, locating, classifying, measuring, reading, and verifying
The Xena B720/2400 is a 4U modular chassis that can be equipped with up to 12 Ethernet test modules to provide high port density and low power consumption.
There are 2 versions of the Xena chassis: the standard B720 and the high-performance B2400.
