CARP – Data Capture Gateway
CARP Data Capture Gateway
CARP-0400 Series captures up to 12 input streams for distribution via Gigabit Ethernet for real-time processing & analysis applications.
Applications include Grooming and Filtering, Network Probes, Surveillance Systems, Forensic communications analysis and protocol analysis. The following input modules are available.
- • 4-stream LVDS serial data + clock – 100 kbits/s to 60 Mbits/s
- • 4-stream RS-422A serial data + clock – 20 kbits/s to 15 Mbits/s
- • 4-stream E1/PRI (G.703/G.704) – 2048 kbits/s
Modules can be specified in any combination of the above, up to the maximum of 3 modules.
Each LVDS and RS-422A input can be set to operate with user-specified framing (byte-alignment), or unframed data.
Each E1/PRI input can be set to operate with G.704 framing, or unframed.
Data Distribution
Input streams are distributed over the user’s Gigabit Ethernet data network using TCP/IP protocol.
The target IP addresses are set via the 10/100MHz Ethernet Control and Status Port. Any combination of individual and group IP addressing is supported for transferring data to one or more workstations.
CARP associates individual source port numbers to each input stream. Data streams are transferred once the receiving workstations have open socket connections to one or more source ports and provide the destination port for each stream.
