nXG

Portable Network Expert

The EtherScope

nXG Portable Network Expert is a multi-technology, all-in-one

handheld network analyzer that enables engineers and technicians to get more done

faster, from deployment to maintenance and documentation of their ever-changing

Wi-Fi and Ethernet access networks. With its simple operation, yet in-depth visibility,

and the ability to remotely access and control EtherScope nXG, engineers can now fully

enable and leverage the “local hands” of field technicians to expedite problem-solving.

Overview

DATA SHEET

All-in-one to address new technology upgrades

The EtherScope nXG has two sets of native Wi-Fi network interfaces: a 4x4 adapter that scan

and test Wi-Fi networks, and a 1x1 adapter for remote control connection and testing. Both

interfaces support 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and can show analysis of utilization and status of Wi-Fi

channels, SSIDs, BSSIDs, access points, client devices, and interferers. The EtherScope nXG

provides visibility of Wi-Fi 6 devices.

The EtherScope nXG has two Ethernet ports. The main test RJ-45 port supports Multi-Gig

networks from 10/100/1000Mbps to 2.5/5/10G to verify link speed and duplex advertised and

connected. It can request and verify PoE power under load from up to 90W PSE’s. Alternatively,

it can interface to fiber networks via single/multi-mode SFP+ to test 1/10Gbps fiber-based

Ethernet. The second RJ-45 management port connects to 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet for

remote control, and conducts network scanning and tests where needed. It is also the port for

cable testing.

The EtherScope nXG has built-in Bluetooth v5/BLE and USB interfaces to discover and

configure nearby devices.

DATA SHEET EtherScope™ nXG Portable Network Expert Overview The EtherScopeTM nXG Portable Network Expert is a multi-technology, all-in-one handheld network analyzer that enables engineers and technicians to get more done faster, from deployment to maintenance and documentation of their ever-changing Wi-Fi and Ethernet access networks.

10G copper/fiber wired and Wi-Fi performance tests for critical links and key devices The EtherScope nXG can stress critical network links, such as switch ports to servers/storage/Wi-Fi access points, uplinks or WAN links, with up to four simultaneous data streams at up to 10G line-rate.
PAGE 3
Auditing and documenting network security and health The EtherScope nXG automatically discovers your network through its dual set of Wi-Fi and Ethernet test interfaces immediately upon power-up. The discovery provides quick security and health audits of the network devices across multiple VLANs and all Wi-Fi channels. Devices are classified and correlated to provide complete visibility of their name, network addresses, VLAN, SSID, device type, and where available, traffic statistics.

Simplifies tasks and empowers technicians to verify complex networks with next generation AutoTest (continued) Multiple profiles can be created for complex networks with multiple VLANs supported per switch port, and Wi-Fi networks with multiple SSIDs each with its own set of IP targets. These can then be organized into profile groups that execute each test against each profile in sequence. The result is that multiple VLANs, and SSIDs can be verified and documented in one go.
PAGE 6
Collaborative testing for remote site troubleshooting The EtherScope nXG has dedicated Wi-Fi and Ethernet management ports that empower a more experienced/knowledgeable remote engineer to control the EtherScope nXG to collaborate with technicians on-site. At locations with no Internet service, the Wi-Fi Management Port can connect to a personal Wi-Fi hotspot for remote control, and upload results to the Link-Live Cloud Service.
