Z800 Freya is one of our fastest & most versatile Ethernet traffic generators. Named after the Nordic god of fertility, Z800 Freya supports testing of eight Ethernet speeds: 800GE, 400GE, 200GE, 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE and 10GE.

Manufactured By: Teledyne LeCroy Xena

Speeds and technology

Z800 Freya supports 10G & 28G NRZ and 56G & 112G Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) SerDes. Z800 Freya is designed for 800G switch, transceiver and PHY design validation & Quality Assurance. Key features incl.:

QSFP-DD800 and OSFP-800 supported
Drives optical transceivers and DACs
Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT)
Extensive L1 features
Test automation via CLI/XOA
Supports 2 Solution Tracks (Advanced L1 & AN/LT)

Hardware

There are 3 versions of Z800 Freya (see table below) – all of which can be used in Xena’s modular 4U B2400 chassis and our fixed 1U chassis.

Software

All Xena solutions includes user-friendly software to make it quick and easy to perform a multitude of relevant performance, QA, compliancy and functional testing: XenaManager, applications for automated RFC 2544, Y.1564, RFC 2889 and RFC 3918 testing, Xena OpenAutomation and XenaTimeSynch.

The Xena platform also includes Z10 Odin test modules for testing 10Mbps to 10G using NRZ, Z100 Loki test modules for testing 10G to 100G using NRZ, and Z400 Thor for testing 10 to 100G using NRZ and 100G to 400G using PAM4.

XM3 – Experience the Difference!

XenaManager 3 (XM3) is a new version of XenaManager loaded with UI improvements to make testing high-speed Ethernet even easier.

XM3 supports testing with all of our traffic generators.

Included with all releases since R100, you can try XM3 now on our Live Demo System.

Link Training Process and Optimization

This technical note explains in detail how Z800 Freya tests the link training process to help you optimize the performance of 112G SerDes devices.

It covers: presets, coefficient values and step sizes, link training, Xena’s LT algorithm, how to test the performance of a DUT’s LT, algorithm, FIR filter, the relation between emphasis and tap coefficients, & coefficient settings in Z800 Freya.

If any of those modes are selected, the same interface configuration will be on all ports, and the ports will be shared across the 2 cages. For instance if the QSFP112 mode with 8 x 100G is chosen, 4 ports will be available in QSFP-DD cage and 4 ports will be available in the QSFP112 cage.
