NuStreams® Window provides a powerful and sophisticated virtual front panel to manage the hardware of NuStreams-2000 and NuStreams-600. Each test port can be independently configured with parameters to define streams, filters, and capture capabilities. In addition, traffic for various network protocols can be customized, transmitted, and received on each port. Comprehensive statistics allow users to perform an in-depth analysis of the performance of the Device Under Test. NuStreams® Window provides a flexible and intuitive interface for controlling the test modules in a single or multiple chassis by using a simple click of a mouse button. Any combination of test modules can be put into the chassis of NuStreams-2000 or NuStreams-600 and be automatically identified by NuStreams® Window. Each port can be configured to analyze and count packets to match a user-defined criteria, such as source and destination MAC addresses, custom patterns, errors, and frame size ranges. Each port is equipped with capture memory, which can store packets in real time. A comprehensive set of user-defined triggers and filters is available based on source and/or destination MAC and/or IP addressed, data pattern, and error conditions. NuStreams® Window is designed to allow multiple users to independently access individual ports of every test module installed in every chassis. This feature enables users to execute their own tested on the ports assigned to them without disrupting the tests being executed by other users on the system.
