DP-360 DOCSIS Protocol Analyzer

Features and Benefits

DP-360 DOCSIS
DP360 - Real-time channel-filtering gives uninterrupted access to all data on the DOCSIS network.

Real-Time DOCSIS MAC-layer capture and filtering

Averna's DP-360 is the only instrument to capture and filter DOCSIS MAC layer data in real-time, using powerful FPGA-based signal processing. Stored trace files can then be sorted, formatted, processed, viewed and analyzed using DP-360's DOCSIS Analysis Software. Powerful filtering capabilities can quickly isolate packets of interest, which are then delivered to you in convenient, multi-format reports. The DP-360 further displays in real-time the modulation constellations, spectra, and MER measurements for the selected channels.

Four independent channels for greater efficiency

The DP-360 can simultaneously analyze up to four upstream and downstream single or bonded channels, giving you quick, uninterrupted access to all data on the DOCSIS network. Use the system's real-time channel-filtering features to zero in on the specific DOCSIS message types and MAC addresses you need, when you need it. Benefit from complete flexibility for channel placement, burst, constellation, and spectral displays for both upstream and downstream, and MER values for each channel.

API and TCL for full automation

The DP-360 DOCSIS Protocol Analyzer from Averna uses a C-callable Application Programming Interface (API) to automate DOCSIS MAC layer analysis, and to facilitate remote operation. In addition, a TCL is used to generate scripts to automate all network analysis, saving you from having to enter repetitive data manually. Compatibility for DOCSIS versions and other software The system provides complete support for North American and Euro-DOCSIS 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0, as well as TDMA, A-TDMA, and S-CDMA modes. In addition, the DP-360 will integrate seamlessly with any third-party software you are using to perform IP-layer analysis.

Additional features

  • Demodulation of North American and Euro DOCSIS (J.83) 64-QAM and 256-QAM signals in the downstream
  • Demodulation of QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM and 128-QAM (in TCM mode S-SCDMA only) signals in the upstream
  • Isolate constellation displays by MAC, SID and IUC
  • Multiple units can be synchronized for 8x4

Why DP-360?

It is the established industry standard for comprehensive DOCSIS MAC layer analysis. Chipset manufacturers, product developers and certification bodies rely on Averna’s DP-360 for design verification, certification and qualification testing, network troubleshooting, and more.

  • The system is optimized for real-time capture and filtering of all DOCSIS MAC layer data through FPGA-based signal processing.
