SmartBits System Reference 15
SmartBits-200
The SmartBits-200 (SMB-200) is a portable, 4-slot network performance analysis test
system, a streamlined version of the SMB-2000. The SMB-200 is fully compatible with
the SMB-2000 system, utilizing all the same SmartCards and software applications.
Each SMB-200 is a complete performance analysis test system that measures the
performance limits of network devices and complex network configurations, including
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Token Ring, ATM, and Frame Relay.

SmartBits-2000
The SmartBits-2000 (SMB-2000) multi-user 20-slot chassis is a complete network
performance analysis test system that measures the performance limits of network devices
and complex network configurations, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, Token Ring, ATM, and Frame Relay.

Differences Between SMB-200 and SMB-2000
• SMB-200 does not have the DB-37 connectors for the SmartBits stack configuration,
therefore does not support multiple users and the SMB-10 extension hub.
• SMB-200 has front panel Fan, Link, and Power LEDs, and a reset switch. The SMB-
2000 has only Power and Link LEDs and no reset switch.
• SMB-200 SmartBits System is the portable version of the SMB-2000 chassis.
• SMB-200 has a 4-slot chassis vs. SMB-2000 which has a 20-slot chassis.
