04 | Keysight | Cellular Passive Probe - Data Sheet
Hardware Platform and Operating System
The Keysight probe runs CentOS Enterprise Linux. The benefits include high availability
through dual RAID 1 disks, dual or hot swappable power supplies, and redundant hot-
swap fans.
Standard server hardware configuration
Memory size
64 GB RAM
Number of processors
2 x Intel Xeon E-2658 processor (8 cores/processor)
Hard disk size
600 GB (In dual 600 GB RAID-1 configuration)
Network interfaces
8 x GbE (1000BaseT)
Acquisition Cards
The Keysight probe offers high density through its capability to host up to four 1 GbE ac-
quisition cards (each card has 4 ports) and therefore a fully populated server supperorts
up to 8 bi-directional links (i.e. 16 ports for TX and RX of each link). This could be up to 8
OC3/STM-1 or 8 GbE interfaces monitored per server. There is also a 10 GbE card which
allows higher rate equipment to be monitored.
The 1 GbE acquisition card for the Keysight probe has a number of key characteristics:
–– Use of standard SFP interfaces (4 per card). This allows different optical standards
(such as Long Reach and Short Reach) to be easily accommodated. It also supports
copper interfaces.
–– Support for 2 bi-directional Gigabit Ethernet links per card
–– Support for 2 bi-directional STM1/OC-3 links per card
–– Support for TDM/HDLC and ATM (bulk filled and channelized) framing structures
The 10 GbE acquisition card has the following characteristics:
–– Use of standard SFP+ interfaces (4 per card)
–– Support for 2-bi directional 10 G Ethernet links per cards - one working and one
protect
–– One 10 G card is hosted per probe
