To upgrade from version 2.1 to version 6, you must first upgrade to version 4. Please contact support@calnexsol.com if you require assistance to do this.

50G NRZ Optical: Quick and easy validation of PTP and/or SyncE capabilities over 50G NRZ in addition to 100G NRZ over 2 x 25G lanes using the QSFP28 interface.
PTP P2P (Peer to Peer profiles): Enables easy validation of Peer to Peer profiles such as IEEE 802.1AS(gPTP), C37.238 Power Profile and 61850-9-3 Utility Profile to higher accuracy and at higher line-rates.
1G/100M Electrical: Enhanced coverage for easy validation of PTP and/or SyncE capabilities of DUT over widely used systems that implement 1G/100M Electrical interfaces.
25MHz Wander Measurement: Allows high accuracy frequency measurement to satisfy test needs for 25MHz system clocks, including scenarios for clock recovery with impaired PTP and SyncE test inputs.

FlexE 100G: Allows a FlexE Overhead Sync Test, enabling 100GbE (4x25G) FlexE interface for testing synchronization as per ITU-T G.8312. PTP and/or SyncE testing capabilities of Paragon-neo can be extended with the same sub-ns precision to the testing of synchronization within the control overhead.
E1 / T1 Wander Measurement: High Accuracy frequency measurement of E1 and T1 clock signals
Samba access to the internal hard drive is now password protected: See this article for details.

This release includes CAT v25.00 and PFV v25.00.

ESMC measurement in Jitter tolerance: Measure ESMC status changes from DUT during Jitter tolerance test
Two PTP Masters: Enables testing of T-TSC performance in, for example, switchover conditions.
IPv6 encapsulation for PTP: IPv6 encapsulation for generated and captured PTP packets

PTP Time Error impairments: Test device conformance to a wide range of standards-based and user-defined impairment scenarios, including ‘replay’ of real-world time-error conditions
HTTP File Management: enables upload/download of session files, log etc. without requiring Samba/SMB support on the network
“Current User” indication: User can display a short text message in the UI to indicate that they are using the instrument, providing information to other users that may try to connect to that instrument.
CAT: Cascaded Media Converter Masks: Specific testing to ITU-T G.8273.2 and G.8262.1/G.8262 with two devices acting as back-to-back media converters.
