CT932 LANforge-ICE 155 Mbps Desktop WAN Emulator
The CT932 is an excellent choice for a desktop or portable
network emulator supporting speeds up to 155 Mbps (bi-directional). The CT932 is good for mobile
work and desktop environments where a loud rackmount system is not desirable.
It supports standard VGA, Keyboard, and Mouse interfaces for easy console/desktop
access to the system. The CT932 hardware can support up to 3 simultaneous WAN emulations.
Contact your sales representative if you prefer more than a single
WAN emulation or LANforge-FIRE traffic generation feature sets.
No additional hardware or software is required, but you may wish to
manage the system using the LANforge-GUI on a separate
machine.

Example Network Diagram
Quick Start Guide
- Connect Management ethernet port to Management network or management PC. If
connecting directly to a PC, an ethernet cross-over cable should be used.
Or, connect VGA, Keyboard, and Mouse to the chassis and manage it locally.
- Connect Client to one WAN emulation port and Server to the other. The two interfaces will
be bridged and this bridge will inject the network emulation.
- Connect power plug to a standard US or European AC power source.
- If managing remotely, install the LANforge-GUI on a separate management PC or Laptop. Windows and
Linux GUIs are supported: Select the correct one from the CDROM or Candela
Technologies Download page and install it.
- The CT932 should now boot. If DHCP is enabled on the Management network,
the CT932 will automatically acquire an IP address. If DHCP is not available,
the IP address will be set to 192.168.1.101 by the LANforge scripts.
- Start the LANforge-GUI on the management PC, or the CT932 server if managing
locally, and click the 'Discover' button.
It should find the CT932 appliance and add the IP address to the drop-down
box in the Connect widget. Press 'Connect' and you will be connected to
the CT932.
- Select the WanLinks tab in the GUI. One of the pre-configured tests should
already be running. You may double-click the row in the top section to modify
the configuration. You can also view a real-time report of the test with the
'Display' button. Any modifications take place immediately after you click
'Submit'.

Software Features
- General purpose WAN and Network impairment emulator.
- Able to simulate DS1, DS3, OC3, DSL, CableModem, Satellite
links and other rate-limited networks, from 10bps up to 155 Mbps (full duplex).
- Can modify various network attributes including: network-speed, latency, jitter,
packet-loss, packet-reordering, and packet-duplication.
- Supports Packet corruptions, including bit-flips, bit-transposes and byte-overwrites.
- Supports WanPath feature to allow configuration of specific behavior between
different IP subnets, MAC addresses or other packet filters
using a single pair of physical interfaces.
WanPath support may require purchase of additional WanPath licenses, please ask
your sales contact for more information.
- Supports routed and bridged mode for more flexibility in how you configure
your network and LANforge-ICE.
- Supports WAN emulation across virtual 802.1Q VLAN interfaces more efficient use
of limited physical network interfaces.
- Supports 'WAN-Playback' allowing one to capture the characteristics of
a live WAN and later have LANforge-ICE emulate those captured characteristics.
The playback file is in XML format, and can be easily created by hand or with
scripts. The free LANforge-ICEcap tool can be used to probe networks and automatically
create the XML playback file.
- Allows packet sniffing and network protocol decoding with the integrated
Wireshark protocol sniffer.
- Includes comprehensive management information detailing all aspects of the LANforge system
including processor statistics, test cases, and Ethernet port statistics.
- GUI runs as Java application on Linux, Solaris and Microsoft Operating
Systems (among others).
- GUI can run remotely, even over low-bandwidth links to accommodate
the needs of the users.
- Central management application can manage multiple units, tests,
and testers simultaneously.
- Includes easy built-in scripting to automatically iterate through bandwidth, latency
and other settings. Advanced programatic scripting over a TCP socket also supported
and example perl libraries and scripts are included.
- Automatic discovery of LANforge resources simplifies maintenance and configuration of LANforge
test equipment.
