Next Generation of Metro and Carrier Ethernet Testing
A companion to the MX100 and MX120 products, the MPX100 is an intelligent probe that can be deployed at network demarcation point or placed at any strategic location for network monitoring or on demand testing. The MPX100 is compatible with the MX100 series or another MPX100 device and can perform the same loopback, BERT, and RFC2544 tests. Intuitive PC software remotely controls multiple MPX100s to perform back to back testing or collect long term performance measurement results.
