SierraNet M648 Analyzer

The SierraNet M648 analyzer is Teledyne LeCroy’s SFP+ 10/25/40/50/100/200* Gigabit Ethernet (*via the QSFP-DD connections) and Gen6 Fibre Channel Analyzer platform. It has four (4) Analog Pass Through SFP-56 ports; four (4) Digitally Retimed SFP-56 ports and two (2) Analog Pass Through/Digitally Retimed QSFPDD-56 ports. Up to 64 GB of capture memory allows for capturing of extensive line-speed data. The SierraNet M648 employs Teledyne LeCroy’s T.A.P.4 non-intrusive probing technology, which enables complete protocol capture, fast signal locking, and very little loss and jitter. The analyzer can be controlled either by using a one (1) Gigabit Ethernet connection to the local network, or a USB connection.

The SierraNet M648 provides the user with easy-to-understand control panel and LED indicators. Major features of the M648 include triggering on back-to-back events, use of counters within trigger conditions, and multi-state (up to 24) triggering and filtering state machines with four transitions per state and FlexPort, which allows concurrent Ethernet and FC analysis. The Net Protocol Suite software for controlling the analyzer and displaying the captured data installs on the latest Microsoft® Windows® version. See the ReadMe file for the latest information on host-machine requirements.
