Overview
GL's newest T3 (DS3) E3 Analyzer Pod is one of the smallest and lightest (weighing only 1.75 lbs) analyzer units in the world. The pod when
connected to Notebook PC is capable of capturing two full T3 (DS3) / E3 data streams, dropping and inserting T1 or E1, full Ethernet analysis, and HDLC, ATM, FR,
and PPP Analysis. GL's T3 E3 Analyzer can also be used in conjunction with GL's Laptop T1 / E1 analyzer for individual
T1 (DS1), E1, DS0, and analog analysis

Detailed Feature Description
World’s smallest T3 (DS3) /E3 Analysis platform with dual data stream capture capability:
With the size of a small paperback book and weighing only 1.75 lbs, GL's newest T3 E3 Analyzer pod is one of the smallest and lightest
analyzer units in the world. The small footprint makes it ideal for use in the lab as well as in the field. The unit's lightweight makes it easy to carry in the pouch
of a Notebook PC making it perfect for air travel. Compatibility with any Desktop or Notebook PC allows the software to be installed on many PCs - just ship
the unit to the intended location and use it on an available PC.
Multiple interfaces for analysis (T3/E3) and control (USB, Ethernet) makes it ideal for a wide array of testing scenarios:
- T3 (DS3) or E3 - BNC interface (2 Transmit and 2 Receive ports).
- T1 or E1 - RJ-48c interface (2 Transmit/Receive Ports).
- External Clock: MCX (2 Ports – one each for the two T3/E3 ports).
- Ethernet Port – For wirespeed Ethernet analysis, remote monitoring, and management.
- USB 2.0 - The USB interface is used to connect the analyzer unit to a Desktop or a Notebook PC for storage, display, and control.
Plug and play through the USB 2.0 control interface:
Its USB 2.0 control interface to PC enables plug and play capability. This will allow you to share the unit among multiple users since it can be moved from
PC to PC. The unit is also highly portable due to the small size and light weight.
Comprehensive T3 E3 testing solution:
GL’s T3/E3 analyzer unit offers a complete solution for T3/E3 (44.736/34.368 Mbps) testing. It is fully
compatible with GL’s other test systems. It can be used in conjunction with GL’s Laptop T1/E1 analyzer for individual T1, E1, DS0, and analog analysis.
