Router Delay Simulator

Router Delay Simulators are appliances that simulate WAN links. The appliances are designed to be connected to routers or modems.

The RDS family has two data port interfaces that support RS-232, RS-422/449, RS-530, V.35, X.21, DS1/E1, TTL, HSSI, DS3, E3, or STS-1. The data interfaces can be mix and matched where applicable, such as V.35-to-RS-530 connection.

RDS provides a realistic simulation of physical network behavior with respect to time delays and bit errors. Allows the operator to determine the parameters for the type and rate of random and burst errors independently on each data path.

The Router Delay Simulator family includes:

• Router Delay Simulator, Int/Clock to 2.048 Mbps, Variable Delays of Data & Control Signals
• Router Delay Simulator,Ext/Clock to 6 Mbps, Variable Delays of Data & Control Signals
• Router Delay Simulator W/Long Data Delays, Ext/Clock to 5 Mbps, Variable Delays of Data Only
• Router Delay Simulator PLUS, Int/Ext Clock, Errors, Delay & Rates to 53 Mbps, Serial Set-up & Control

 

RDS allows Router(DTE)-to-Router(DTE) connections while simulating network delays. network delays.

The RDS family has two data port interfacesdepending on the model they support RS-232, RS-422/449, RS-530, V.35, X.21, DS1/E1, TTL, HSSI, DS3, E3, or STS-1. The data interfaces can be mix and matched where applicable, such as V.35-to-RS-530 connection.

For the RDS Plus installation and operation is provided via an operator console port. This port is a RS-232 port that has been tailored for use with HyperTerminal that comes standard with most PCs. RDS+ status and configuration is displayed in real time via this interface. An optional 10Base-T web enabled GUI interface is available for the RDS+.

All other RDS modell installation is fast and simple by setting the external switches for Delay Simulation, Clocking, Carrier Operation and RTS to CTS delay. All clocking and signal crossover are provided within the RDS.

Router Delay Simulator PLUS (RDS)
The RDS-PLUS is a modular, network link error and delay simulator that provides a realistic simulation of physical network behavior with respect to time delays and bit errors. The RDS-PLUS supports a wide range of interface types and speeds, ranging from 1200bps to over 50Mbps.

Router Delay Simulator (RDS)
For testing network transmission delays. The Router Delay Simulator (RDS) allows Router-to-Router connections at data rates up to 2.048Mbps while simulating network delays. The user selectable delays are for both data and control signals and range from 5 milliseconds(mS) to approximately 1250 mS, in 5 mS increments. The RDS allows users to test and pre-configure Routers (with software applications)and other critical DTE equipment for reliable network operation while simulating network delay times.

Router Delay Simulator, External Clock Option (RDS-ECO)
For testing network transmission delays utilizing an external clock source.
The Router Delay Simulator (RDS-ECO) allows Router-to-Router connections at data rates up to 5Mbps while simulating network delays. The user selectable delays are for both data and control signals and range from 5 milliseconds(mS) to approximately 1250 mS, in 5 mS increments. The RDS-ECO allows users to test and pre-configure Routers (with software applications)and other critical DTE equipment for reliable network operation while simulating network delay times.

Router Delay Simulator, Long Data Delays (RDS-LDD)
For testing network transmission delays utilizing an external clock source and Long Data Delays. Control Signals are not delayed. The Router Delay Simulator with long data delays(RDS-LDD) allows DCE to DTE connections at data rates up to 5Mbps while simulating network delays. The user selectable delays are for bi-directional data and range from 10 milliseconds(mS) to approximately 2560 mS, in 10 mS increments. The RDS-LDD allows users to test and pre-configure critical DTE equipment such as Routers (with software applications) along with an attached modem, digital service unit(DSU) or other network access device for reliable network operation while simulating additional network delay times.
