TraceSpan Announces TR-069 Support and Analysis

Industry’s leading non-intrusive performance-analysis solution

Now supports and analyzes TR-069 compliance

Ra’anana, Israel, November 19, 2007 – TraceSpan Communications, a leader in broadband monitoring solutions, today announces the new TR-069 analysis module. Leveraging the Upper Layers analysis module available for the DSL Xpert and VDSL Xpert analyzers, TraceSpan adds a unique capability to test and analyze xDSL products for TR-069 compliance.

The TR-069 is a DSL Forum technical specification that defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices, among them xDSL Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) modems. The DSL Xpert support of TR-069 allows modem makers and service providers to test and verify compliance of their equipment with the TR-069 protocol. It provides full transparency of the communication and details all the messages and commands sent between the CPE and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). It also identifies any deviation from the protocol and indicates the correct protocol-compliant messages.

“We are proud to announce the launch of TR-069 analysis support,” said Dr. Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO. “Many companies are involved in making TR-069 a viable solution for remote management of CPE modems. The success of this project means improved customer support and huge savings of time and money. TraceSpan is happy to contribute its share by providing the TR-069 analysis module as a new free add-on to any customer who currently uses the DSL Xpert Upper Layer analysis, and any new customer of the Upper Layers analysis module.”

The Upper Layers Analysis Module allows viewing and analyzing ATM traffic, as well as other protocols, such as PTM, AAL5, Ethernet, PPP, PPPoE, IPv4, TCP, HTTP, and now the TR-069 protocol. The DSL Xpert is the first non-intrusive analyzer that allows ADSL engineers to view data in all layers from the ADSL physical layer up to the DHCP, independently from any DSL chipset and without affecting the test or the products under test.
