Data Sheet
Easy and accurate Ethernet design
validation and debug
The Agilent Technologies N5392A
Ethernet electrical performance
validation and conformance software
for Infiniium oscilloscopes provides
you with an easy and accurate way
to verify and debug your 1000BASE-T,
100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T Ethernet
designs. The Ethernet electrical test
software allows you to automatically
execute Ethernet physical-layer (PHY)
electrical tests, and it displays the
results in a flexible report format. In
addition to the measurement data, the
report provides a margin analysis that
shows how closely your device passed
or failed each test.
To make 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-
TX and 10BASE-T measurements
with the N5392A Ethernet electrical
test software, you also need the
Agilent N5395B Ethernet electrical
conformance test fixture. If you
want to make 1000BASE-T jitter
measurements, you also need the
Agilent N5396A Gigabit Ethernet jitter
test cable. In addition, you can use
Agilent 33250A arbitrary waveform
generators as disturbing signal sources
and choose from a variety of Agilent
vector network analyzers to make your
return loss measurements.
The N5392A Ethernet electrical test
software performs a wide range of
electrical tests required to meet the
Ethernet electrical specifications
for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and
10BASE-T systems as documented
in the IEEE 802.3-2005 and ANSI
X3.263-1995 standards. To meet signal
quality requirements, your product
must successfully pass conformance
testing based on these specifications.
Performing these tests gives you
confidence in your design. The N5392A
Ethernet electrical test software
helps you execute a wide subset of
the conformance tests that can be
measured with an oscilloscope.
Features
The N5392A Ethernet electrical test
software offers several features to
simplify the validation of Ethernet
designs:
• Setup wizard for quick and clear
setup, configuration and test
• Wide range of 1000BASE-T,
100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T tests
enabling standards conformance
• Disturbing signal support for
1000BASE-T Test Mode 1 and 4 tests
• Accurate and repeatable results
with Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes
• Accurate return loss measurements
with supported Agilent vector
network analyzers
• Automated reporting in a
comprehensive HTML format with
margin analysis
With the Ethernet electrical test
software, you can use the same
oscilloscope you use for everyday
debugging to perform automated
testing and margin analysis based on
the Ethernet-standards.
