Managing QoS: Network Monitoring Probes

Network Monitoring Probes

CastXplorers are full-SNMP monitoring devices returning and logging real-time RF measures and key MPEG2-TS parameters. Including a web based remote control, these probes are intended to be placed at critical locations in the network like head-ends, urban dense areas or the edge of shadow areas. With a minimum footprint and being fully-FPGA based, they offer high resistance to temperatures and are the ideal monitoring tool for installation in high-constraint environments like outdoor cabinets or base stations.

The product periodically logs all RF measurements and ETR290 counters. It is also capable of sending traps based on threshold values for all key parameters. Combined with a centralized network monitoring system, CastXplorer turns into a real-time diagnosis system for your cable or terrestrial network.
