Apposite Releases Linktropy Version 1.1
Statistics Monitor and Routing Functionality Enhance Easy-to-Use WAN Emulator
Los Angeles, CA (June 1, 2006) ─ Apposite™ Technologies, Inc. today announced the release of version 1.1 of the Linktropy™ 4500, the company's high-precision, easy-to-use, WAN emulation appliance. The new firmware adds a traffic statistics monitor to view live transmission statistics and throughput graphs, as well as IP routing capabilities to allow the Linktropy 4500 to be installed as either a router or bridge.
The Linktropy 4500 simulates WAN bandwidth, delay, packet loss and other conditions to emulate terrestrial, wireless, internet, satellite and other wide-area networks. An intuitive, browser-based interface makes it easy to test application and equipment performance under a variety of real-world conditions. With prices starting at $2500, the Linktropy 4500 combines unmatched precision and ease-of-use in an economical package.
The new features of version 1.1 include:
- Monitor
A new traffic statistics monitor provides a visual display of the current traffic conditions, including throughput graphs, and transmission and loss statistics. The statistics history can also be downloaded to a file for analysis.
- IP Routing
Version 1.1 adds IP routing capabilities to allow the Linktropy 4500 to be configured as either a router or a bridge, making it easy to install the Linktropy 4500 into a broad range of network architectures.
-
Management access through LAN A/B
A new option allows the Linktropy 4500 to be managed through the LAN A or LAN B ports instead of the MGMT port, making it easy to build test networks for customer demonstrations and trade shows with a minimum of equipment.
Version 1.1 will begin shipping immediately with all new Linktropy 4500 purchases. Customers under a current support contract can upgrade to version 1.1 at no additional charge.
