SmartBits 600x/6000x Chassis Features
The SmartBits 600x/6000x chassis provide the following features and capabilities:
• A default IP Address, Gateway address, and Netmask address allow for quick and easy
connection of your chassis without the need for a serial cable connection.
• Serial console interface for easy configuration.
• The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port allows you to test a remote device by connecting it to
the SmartBits chassis over a local Ethernet network.
• Telnet support for remote access to all console functions.
• The Ethernet or Telnet port provides a link to your PC or UNIX workstation. The
Ethernet port decreases the time it takes to update SmartBits chassis and module
firmware, or to download configurations or upload data.
• High resolution and accuracy with internal clock.
This clock is used for latency and timestamps. The clock’s oscillator is specified for
an error rating of less than 2 parts per million (ppm). The high level of accuracy pro-
vides long-term measurements, which are especially important when using higher
speed interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet.
• Higher performance levels than the SmartBits 2000.
• Faster downloads of test configurations.
• Faster statistics data and captured traffic transfers to a PC or UNIX workstation.
