CT800 LANforge-ICE 45 Mbps WAN Emulator

The CT800 is an economical choice for a portable laptop based network emulator supporting speeds up to 45 Mbps (bi-directional). The CT800 is an economy model laptop (specific brand depends on what is easily available at our suppliers). The laptop will contain one built-in wired Ethernet interface, and a second wired interface will be an Expresscard NIC. All management will usually be done locally on the laptop since there may not be a third interface for management. However, a USB network adapter (not included) can provide management access if necessary.

Quick Start Guide

1. 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.
2. Connect laptop power plug to a standard US or European AC power source.
3. The CT800 should now boot.
4. Start the LANforge-GUI, and click 'Connect' to the default 'localhost:4002'.
5. 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'.

2. Able to simulate DS1, DS3, DSL, CableModem, Satellite links and other rate-limited networks, from 10 bps up to 45 Mbps (full duplex).
3. Can modify various network attributes including: network-speed, latency, jitter, packet-loss, packet-reordering, and packet-duplication.
4. Supports Packet corruptions, including bit-flips, bit-transposes and byte-overwrites.
5. 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.
6. Supports routed and bridged mode for more flexibility in how you configure your network and LANforge-ICE.
7. Supports WAN emulation across virtual 802.1Q VLAN interfaces more efficient use of limited physical network interfaces.
8. 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.
