Hammer DEX™
Advanced device emulation platform
Building a complete test bed for device isolation testing with the required, surrounding network infrastructure is difficult and extremely costly –each device must be procured, installed, configured, provisioned, and managed – demanding significant budget and staff resources. Changing protocols and parameters can be very time consuming and often they cannot be shared for multiple-simultaneous tests among different groups without conflicts. Hammer DEX™, a device emulation test tool, provides a better approach because it enables quality engineers to quickly and efficiently emulate numerous devices in a single, extremely cost-effective test platform.
Hammer DEX provides the ability to emulate a wide variety of different network devices and IMS functions to truly test a particular network component in isolation, under real network conditions.
Hammer DEX provides the following capabilities:- Multi-user – many users can run and share emulations at the same time through a multi-user GUI that allows multiple, simultaneous tests, each with their own parameters and statistics reporting
- Multi-device – Standard emulations for many different types of IMS and NGN devices are available and can be quickly modified to replicate vendor and product specific behaviors (or misbehaviors), or users can create their own device using the flexible Signaling editor
- Multi-protocol – Can run multiple protocols simultaneously, including: SIP, MGCP, NCS, MEGACO/H.248, H.323, Diameter, Sigtran, and Skinny
