Exceptional Layer 1 testing

The Z800 Freya Ethernet traffic generator can test 800GE, 400GE, 200GE, 100GE and 50GE using 112G/56G SerDes PAM4 and 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE and 10GE using 28G/10G SerDes NRZ.

A versatile solution for performance and functional testing of Ethernet network infrastructure and equipment including switches, routers and NICs, the Z800 Freya can test up to 800GE using 112G SerDes (PAM4 112G) and is designed for helping achieve the best possible signal integrity and Bit Error Rate performance.

The Z800 offers extensive L1 test features for advanced PCS and PMA layer testing including dynamic transceiver clock sweep, lane skewing and PRBS modes. Signals can be analyzed in advanced signal integrity view, which provides visual information on the quality of the signal.

The Z800 Freya test module also supports Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT) on 112G SerDes and 56G SerDes PAM4.

Z800 Freya modules can be installed in the modular XenaBay B2400 chassis (where they require 2 slots), or in the fixed XenaCompact chassis, making it the most compact and lightweight 800G Ethernet test solution in the market.

XenaManager is included, giving users access to an intuitive user-friendly multi-user management software where they can generate and analyze traffic. Xena OpenAutomation (XOA) enables customers to make the most of Xena testers with tailored tests as well as standardized test methodologies, to achieve accelerated release cycles, enhanced test reliability, and boosted customer satisfaction.

Ethernet Auto-Negotiation & Link Training (AN/LT)

The Z800 Freya traffic generators support Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT) on all speeds.

There is also an optional AN/LT Utility for Z800q Freya and Z800o Freya OSFP modules that makes additional AN/LT tools available for thorough testing of the endpoint behavior during AN and LT process.

The AN/LT Utility adds insight, visibility, and configuration possibilities to the AN / LT process, making it easy to analyze DUT behavior and configure and optimize the relevant AN parameters and LT coefficients.

Advanced test software

Managing the Z800 Freya traffic generators is done via XenaManager, the intuitive multi-user management software for generating and analyzing traffic on all Teledyne LeCroy Xena modules.

Renowned for its ease-of-use, XenaManager makes it quick and easy to do performance, QA, functional and benchmark testing.

Xena OpenAutomation (XOA) – our open-source scripting and automation framework – is also included to help automate any available command to the system, with tailored tests, scripting and standardized test methodologies.

Plus there are standalone applications for testing RFC2544, RFC2889, RFC3918 and Y.1564.
