Ethernet Network Audit Service

BluBoxx Scope

The Network Evaluation for Ethernet (IP) Network will be done at Three (3) levels.

• Physical inspection not requiring line disconnection.
• Line Scanning requiring line disconnection.
• Network Scan not requiring line disconnection.

Visual inspection, NOT requiring Line disconnection

• Visual checks of entire network will be carried out to identify
• Mechanical damages to passive components.
• Inspect Quality & Workmanship of network as per standards.
• Verify readability of Identification for easy traceability.
• Verify proper connector connections & Oxidization.
• Check knots or kinks in cable causing constraints to data flow.
• Verify Improper Termination at ends.

Electrical Check- Requires Line disconnection

• Verify last mile problems and potential sources of network Faults.
• Check cable impedance.
• Identify Reversed pair.
• Determine actual cable length in Mtrs.
• Prop. Delay
• Delay Skew
• Resistance
• Frequency
• Near End Cross Talk
• Far End Cross Talk
• Cable Attenuation
• Return Loss

Online Scan NOT requiring Line Down

• Network utilization.
• Network collisions, errors.
• Packet Loss, Data Corruption.
• Network broadcasts.
• Local and remote station.
• IP address, MAC address,
• Frame Analysis
• Ping response time, SNMP name and node up-time.
• Current, average and maximum.

Analysis of results

• Recommendation of necessary steps to optimize the system stability.
• Submit detailed analysis report.

Client Scope

• Provide network architecture/ connection diagram of the n/w prior to the visit.
• Assist/help BluBoxx Engineer in testing the n/w.
• Connection points to be made available for connection of Tester.
• Make changes to the n/w as suggested by BluBoxx Engineer.
• Take shutdown if necessary.

NOTE

The above tests are for UTP (Copper) Network only. The above schedule is subject to approval &
availability of Network Port, Cables & other devices for testing.
