Ethernet Sync Installation and Troubleshooting
The Paragon-i tool allows Installation and Troubleshooting in the network to guarantee quality of Next-gen Ethernet Mobile Backhaul networks. The test files from these tools can also be replayed in the Calnex lab systems to re-create network issues and conditions.
Calnex Paragon-i tests and validates 1588v2 PTP, Sync-E, and Recovered Frequency and Time in the network with OAM testing up to 1G or 10G. The Paragon-i can test Time of Day (ToD) and Frequency (E1, T1 or any frequency) accuracy to nanoseconds. If there are failures or problems with these tests, Paragon-i can also analyze the 1588v2 PTP and Sync-E performance to allow the user to troubleshoot and fix these problems.
Test Time of Day (ToD) accuracy and verify it is below required limits (e.g. +1.5μs for TD-SCDMA or TD-LTE)
Analyse 1588v2 (PTP) Packet Delay Variation (PDV) is below specified limits (including MAFE, MinTDEV, etc.)
Measure and validate Sync-E compliance to ITU-T G.8262 (MITE/TDEV)
Measure E1/T1 recovered clock compliance to ITU-T G.823/G.824 (MITE/TDEV)
All of the above at the same time
1 nanosecond accuracy
