DSL Protocol Analyzer Claimed As Industry First

June 1, 2001

Said to be the industry's first system capable of evaluating and analyzing data protocols on the DSL wire, the Liberator PRO is a compact unit that enables decoding and debugging of data protocols over a simulated DSL network. The system consists of the Liberator PRO chassis, ADSL interface card, processor card, and application software than runs on a central office-side PC.
Liberator PRO adds protocol analysis capability to the original Liberator, a network simulator that combines the functions of a DSL access multiplexor (DSLAM), service node, and Internet server into a single unit. DSL equipment manufacturers can accelerate product development by testing equipment coming off the production line and demonstrating their products to customers without the hassle of setting up a live DSL line.
Liberator users can upgrade to the PRO by installing new firmware and software. The unit price is $33,950, with volume discounts available.
