1. Standalone Switch/Router Tester Overview
1.1. General Description of NuStreams-P5G & NuStreams-P9A
NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A are stand-alone Switch/Residential Gateway (Broadband
Router) test devices for testing switches and broadband routers (along with their switch ports) at
wirespeed. Also, both NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A can also connect to PC for accessing its
simple and easy-to-use configuration utility.
Each of NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A’s 3 RUNs contains 4 Tasks. These Tasks allow users to
simultaneously performing tests under different transmitting/receiving speeds with a single button. This
innovative design can greatly reduce the time consumed when performing product tests.
With 3 different Test Types (Router, Switch, and Router + Switch) available, NuStreams-P5G and
NuStreams-P9A can perform tests on switch/router, or combining each of these test subjects under
“Router + Switch” Test Type, and test a broadband router’s WAN/LAN performance at the same time.
NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A support bi-direction LAN/WAN test packets with 253 IP addresses.
Each IP has its own settings and transmitting/receiving counters, including independent statistics and
calculations for latency and Serial Number. Also, both DUT and NuStreams-P5G’s IP addresses can be
any IP of 256 IP addresses from Class C.
Please refer to the table down below for a general comparison between NuStreams-P5G and
NuStreams-P9A.

*NuStreams-P5G’s WAN Port can act as Switch Port 5 when performing switch test.
Also, NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A come with a utility software. NuSet-MiniPG allows users to
set DUT test criteria, upgrading NuStreams-P5G firmware/FPGA, and accessing detail test logs/statistics
for further analysis.
