The evolution to the new network architecture requires a similar evolution in test equipment. Expertise in LAN or PSTN alone is not sufficient to meet the challenges of the converged network. Sunrise Telecom's NeTracker offers an integrated tool to fully verify, monitor, and troubleshoot the signaling and services deployed over PCM, ATM, and LAN networks. The supported architectures include: IMS, NGN, MEGACO/MGCP and mixed (SS7/NGN/IP). NeTracker's rich feature set makes it the ideal tool during all network phases. Call generation, protocol analysis and QoS measurements are critical during the development of new features in R&D labs and during the installation and maintenance of PBXs, soft switches, signaling and media gateways, as well as the traditional PSTN network elements. NeTracker is also used by service providers and operators during the network planning, and implementation phases thanks to the Call Detail Record generation, intrusive and non-intrusive QoS measurements, network statistics and correlation of messages between different protocols and interfaces.

Monitoring/Analysis Features

For each available protocol, the NeTracker offers:

• Physical layer status and statistics
• Customizable Protocol Trace
• Display Filters (with text search filters)
• Statistics on all the main protocols' messages
• Calls statistics and Call Completion Analysis
• Disconnection causes statistics
• Call Details Records generation with protocol messages correlation
• CDR-to-frames correlation
• Frame-to-CDR function
• Arrowed diagrams for Trace and CDRS
• Multi-interface correlation
• CDRs forwarding to external system
• Non-intrusive QoS measurement with E-Model and NiQA MOS scores on VoIP calls
• Non-intrusive QoS measurement for Video Calls

Simulation/Testing Features

• H.323 Bulk Call Generator (H.225, H.235 and H.245)
• SIP Bulk Call Generator
• SIP and MGCP Call Simulator with scripting and message builder
• SigTran M2PA simulation with ISUP call generation support
• SS7 ISUP Call Generator with traffic generation over the CIC
• SS7 ISUP 2Mbps Simulator
• ISDN NT/TE Call Generator with traffic generation over the B-channels
• Analog FXO Telephone Simulator with audio listening capabilities on the line
• Voice and Video files generation over PSTN and VoIP Protocols with either audio or video recording
• Intrusive QoS measurements for Video Calls
• PESQ intrusive analysis, with E-Model MOS correlation

Multiple Tests and Protocols

• NeTracker runs 3 simultaneous monitor and/or simulation tasks with automatic test and resources allocation
• Each test runs of up to 8 different protocols
• Each protocol runs on different physical or logical port
• Service Trace: trace of all the messages related to the same call through different network elements, protocols and technologies
• Exportable Statistical Reports: for the implementation with standard commercial applications

Client-Server and Multiuser

• NeTracker is a Server-based Protocol Analyzer
• Up to 8 users (clients) can simultaneously access to the Server through a TCP/IP network, a standard Browser or the specific Java Application
• Users can indipendently customize the trace, apply filters, make analysis by statistics, decode messages, analize Call Detail Records (CDR), service trace, emulation environments, and correlate events through multiple protocols and interfaces
• More users can view the same data in order to share and distribute the protocols?know-how and the troubleshooting expertise
• A security administration system prevents unauthorized equipment's usage and guarantee the privacy of analysis
