CT922 LANforge-ICE 155 Mbps WAN Emulator
The CT922 is an excellent choice for a portable
network emulator supporting speeds up to 155 Mbps (bi-directional). The
CT922 will fit into a small travel bag or briefcase
for easy portability. It is also completely silent, so you
can include it in your customer demos and presentations.
No additional hardware or software is required, but it is suggested
that you manage the system using the LANforge-GUI on a separate
machine. The CT922 can also be managed over a serial console
in text mode.

Example Network Diagram
Quick Start Guide
- Connect Management ethernet port to Management network or management PC.
- Connect Client to eth0 and Server to eth1. The eth0 <-> eth1 interfaces will
be bridged and this bridge will inject the network emulation.
- Connect power brick to standard US or European AC power source.
- Install the LANforge-GUI on a separate management PC or Laptop. Windows and
Linux GUIs are supported: Select the correct one from the CDROM, Candela
Technologies Download page or by connecting a browser to the unit and install GUI.
- The CT922 should now boot. If DHCP is enabled on the Management network,
the CT922 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 and click the 'Discover' button.
It should find the CT922 appliance and add the IP address to the drop-down
box in the Connect widget. Press 'Connect' and you will be connected to
the CT922.
- Select the WanLinks tab in the GUI. One of the preconfigured 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, OC-3, DSL, CableModem, satellite
links and other rate-limited networks, from 10 bps 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 your 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.
