1. Standalone Switch/Router Tester Overview
1.1. General Description of NuStreams-P5G & NuStreams-P9A
NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A are stand-alone Switch/Residential Gateway (Broadband
Router) test devices for testing switches and broadband routers (along with their switch ports) at
wirespeed. Also, both NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A can also connect to PC for accessing its
simple and easy-to-use configuration utility.
Each of NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A’s 3 RUNscontains 4 Tasks. These Tasks allow users to
simultaneously performing tests under different transmitting/receiving speeds with a single button. This
innovative design can greatly reduce the time consumed when performing product tests.
With 3 different Test Types (Router, Switch, and Router + Switch) available, NuStreams-P5G and
NuStreams-P9A can perform tests on switch/router, or combining each of these test subjects under
“Router + Switch”Test Type, and test a broadband router’s WAN/LAN performance at the same time.
NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9Asupport bi-direction LAN/WAN test packets with 253 IP addresses.
Each IP has its own settings and transmitting/receiving counters, including independent statistics and
calculations for latency and Serial Number. Also, both DUT and NuStreams-P5G’s IP addresses can be
any IP of 256 IP addresses from Class C.
Please refer to the table down below for a general comparison between NuStreams-P5G and
NuStreams-P9A.

Also, NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9Acome with a utility software. NuSet-MiniPG allows users to
set DUT test criteria, upgrading NuStreams-P5G firmware/FPGA, and accessing detail test logs/statistics
for further analysis.

1.2. Key Advantages of NuStreams-P5G & NuStreams-P9A
Compact, lightweight, and portable test device for testing network switches and routers
Flexible WAN port connection for router tests:
Static IP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
Supporting bi-direction LAN/WAN test packets with 253 IP addresses. Each IP has its own settings
and transmitting/receiving counters, including independent statistics and calculations for latency,
Serial Number, and VLAN Tags
DUT, NuStreams-P5G, and NuStreams-P9A’s IP addresses can be any IP of 256 IP addresses from
Class C
Supports and can receive packet in PPP LCP, IPCP PAP formats
Tests are performed automatically in a step-by-step manner, which make NuStreams-P5G a more
productive solution than traditional PC-based solutions
Both NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A can be connected with external bar code readers
NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A’s hardware information, such as fan speed and system
temperature, is available and can be checked
LCD screen for displaying test results and related statistics
1.3. NuPAD Overview
Built to be light and easy-to-handle, NuStreams-P5G and
NuStreams-P9A are both designed to meet the needs of
production lines. However, considering the buttons on
NuStreams-P5G/P9A might be too small to operate, an
optional keypad NuPAD is available to solve this
inconvenience.
NuPAD is an optional keypad with intuitive platforms and
easy-to-use buttons, and can be connected to
NuStreams-P5G or NuStreams-P9A in mass production line.
Although possessing no configuration functions, the lighter and smaller NuPAD provides 3 big, durable
buttons (RUN 1~3) for users to operate the test procedure easily without touching configuration buttons
on the top panel of NuStreams-P5G and NuStreams-P9A.
NuPAD KEY ADVANTAGES
Simple, easy to operate, performing tests fast
Easy for maintenance. If NuPAD malfunctions, there’s no need to fix/replace the NuStreams-P5G/P9A
that’s connected to it
Intuitive Buttons for production crews to verify test results fast

4. Making Settings with Front Panel Buttons & LCD
All parameters for DUT tests can be configured via control buttons located on the front panel. Also,
configuring, testing, and system information are displayed and can be viewed on the LCD screen as well.
Before performing any tests, NuStreams-P5G or NuStreams-P9A should be connected to DUT properly
according to DUT’s type. Please refer to 3. Hardware Installation of NuStreams-P5G & NuStreams-P9A
for more detail information.
