Odin might be the god of war in Nordic mythology, but in the world of Ethernet testing, Z10 Odin is a key part of Xena’s Ethernet Traffic Generator solution.

Odin can test Ethernet devices at 6 speeds up to 10Gbps – 10/100/1000M and 2.5/5/10G.

The Xena Traffic Generator platform includes Z100 Loki (NRZ testing 10G to 100G), Z400 Thor (NRZ testing 10 to 100G and PAM4 testing 50G to 400G), and Z800 Freya (10G NRZ to 800G PAM4) and in the future also 1.6 Terabits.

AI, cloud computing, and hyperscalers are accelerating the demand for ultra-high-speed, low-latency connectivity, taking us past Gigabit Ethernet and into the era of Terabit Ethernet.

Teledyne LeCroy’s Terabit Ethernet solutions are engineered to help you take full advantage of this new technology cycle. The Xena Ethernet Test Platform gives developers of semiconductor, NEMs, and hyperscalers the solutions they need to validate next-gen silicon, network devices, and interconnects with confidence.

From Layer 1 signal integrity and Layer 2 traffic generation and analysis, we have the solutions you need to simulate, stress, and certify real-world performance. Support for 224Gbps electrical lanes, advanced FEC, and PCS diagnostics ensure readiness for tomorrow’s networks. Compact, desktop-friendly hardware combined with intuitive software and powerful automation ensure seamless lab-to-production workflows.

Whether you’re path-finding 1.6T or optimizing 800G deployments, Xena can fast-track your innovation cycle. Test smarter, deploy faster and reap the rewards.

Xena2889 is a Windows desktop application for benchmarking the performance of Layer 2 LAN switches. It is free and bundled with every XenaManager release.

• Create, edit and execute test configurations using Xena test equipment according to RFC 2889
• Configure and enable many of the test-types defined in RFC 2889
• Supports L2-3 testing and either IPv4 or IPv6
• Flexibly define protocol layers (Ethernet, VLANs, IP, UDP, etc.)
• Assign separate protocol layer definitions to each test port
• Extensive configuration options to fine-tune the tests

The Xena B720/2400 is a 4U modular chassis that can be equipped with up to 12 Ethernet test modules to provide high port density and low power consumption.

There are 2 versions of the Xena chassis: the standard B720 and the high-performance B2400.

• Reduce service stoppages with a fanless design
• Inspect multiple sites through the support for four GigE Vision and four USB3 Vision cameras
• Simplify cabling for GigE Vision installations using Powerover-Ethernet (PoE)-enabled ports
• Tackle deep learning and traditional machine vision applications with a mobile-class embedded twelfth-generation Intel Core processor
• Connect separately to the factory floor and enterprise networks via two more Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Synchronize with other equipment using the integrated real-time digital I/Os with rotary encoder support and RS-232/RS-485 ports
• Streamline application development using the Aurora Design Assistant flowchart-based IDE or the Aurora Imaging Library SDK
• Tackle machine vision applications with utmost confidence using field-proven tools for analyzing, locating, classifying, measuring, reading, and verifying

• Wire-speed traffic generation and analysis
• High precision solution for chassis time synchronization
• Used for OWL measurements, synchronized traffic start and timestamping
• Can use any combination of NTP, PTP or RFC 868 TIME
• Legacy Xena testers can be retro-fitted with XenaTimeSynch (GPS requires factory refit)
• Compatible with Xena1564 (ITU-T Y.1564) test methodology

Most of us know Z400 as the Nordic god of thunder and lightning. But in the world of Ethernet testing world, Thor plays a starring role in Xena’s Ethernet Traffic Generation solutions.

Thor boasts some truly heroic features – like being able to test both NRZ and PAM4 speeds. For NRZ based Ethernet at data rates of 10G / 25G / 40G / 50G and 100G. And for PAM4 based Ethernet at data rates of 50G / 100G / 200G / 400G. It can also test Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT).

In the Xena line we also have Z10 Odin (NRZ testing 10Mbps to 10G), Z100 Loki (NRZ testing 10G to 100G), and Z800 Freya (10G PAM4 to 800G PAM4) and in the future also 1.6 Terabits.

Xena OpenAutomation (XOA) is an open-source test automation framework for use with all Xena solutions.

Fast, easy to use and extremely flexible, XOA features a Python API that runs on any OS. You can use XOA in whichever way suits your test needs.

There are three main options:

1. Use XOA CLI or XOA Python API to add Xena test equipment to your existing test automation setup.
2. Use XOA CLI or XOA Python API to add Xena testers and run Xena test suites via your existing test automation setup.
3. Use XOA to automate all your Ethernet testing.

Z800 Freya is the fastest of our high-speed Ethernet traffic generators. Named after the Nordic god of fertility, Z800 Freya supports testing of seven Ethernet speeds: 800GE, 400GE, 200GE, 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE and 10GE.
