XRA-31 Version 3.1
Posted by Dieter Dobbelaere on 05 November 2019 10:33 AM

Excentis is happy to announce the new version of the XRA-31!

The system now supports the use of a downstream SC-QAM channel as reference.
This allows you to capture upstream traffic (both A-TDMA and OFDMA) in absence of an OFDM channel, extending the debugging capabilities of the XRA-31 to an even wider range of DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 setups.

Moreover, the new "rolling file capture" functionality allows you to capture continuously to a ring buffer of files (without being limited by disk capacity).
