7/2010 -- The lab is offline to the general public but
available to clients.
The Lab will be undergoing some upgrade changes over the
year to reflect current trends in networking and server technology.
5/2008 -- The lab is offline to the general public.
The lab will not be available to the general public due to internal use requirements for a major research
project. The lab is also being relocated to a new location and will be
offline during its move.
12/2005 -- The lab has been upgraded!
New routers, switches, servers and software for your use
to keep pace with advances in networking and protocol technology. Refer to
the other links in the navigation pane to see what is now available.
9/2004 -- The lab now has CWDM!!!
The lab now has Coarse Wave Division Multplixing(CWDM) Gbics installed on
the Catalyst 3750 switches for your testing. Also Variable optical
attenuators have been installed to provide intermittent problems for
failover testing.
10/2003 -- AMILABS IS GOING WIRELESS!!!
A new network diagram depicting the wireless components
in the lab is forthcoming.
AMILABS is excited to announce the introduction of the
Proxim AP2500 Hot Spot in a box Access Point and the ASUS WL-500g WLAN
Router into the lab to assist in furthering your 802.11x based wireless
research and education. The Proxim AP2500 Access Point currently supports
802.11a and 802.11b while the ASUS WL-500G supports 802.11g. All Access
Points are available by special request. Just click on the images of the
components below for more information.

AMILABS is pleased to present the addition of 2.4Ghz
Wireless Spectrum Analysis capabilities in the Lab. With the Use of the
Aerocomm SA3000 and the existing Wireless components in the lab for your
analysis, you could watch for and learn about RF characteristic and
interference behavior. Just click on the SA3000 image below for more
information.

AMILABS is pleased to present the advent of Wireless
802.11b protocol analysis into the lab. The addition of the Packetyzer
application and the WSP100/Neutrino remote wireless RF receiver has been
added. Learn RF concepts and 802.11b protocol operation remotely. With this
remote sensor you can capture live 802.11b packets and learn all about the
MAC layer of 802.11 and 802.11b. Combine this tool with the spectrum
analyzer above and you have a great set of resources for studying for the
CWNP exam or just to learn more about wireless LAN protocols.

Neutrino Distributed Wireless sensor and Fusion IDS
application are now available in the lab.
The proliferation of wireless networks has created the
need for wireless tools equivalent to those used in wired networks. These
tools include packet capture and analysis, traffic analysis, intrusion
detection and location based analysis. The Network Chemistry Neutrino
Sensor™ provides a crucial building block for companies building distributed
wireless analysis tools. The Neutrino Sensor is a hardware device which
captures packets in the 2.4GHz 802.11 band and performs packet analysis and
statistics collection. The results of the packet analysis are periodically
forwarded over the Ethernet network to a management console. The management
console aggregates information from multiple sensors and can enforce
security or analysis policies based on the data.
For more information about Packetyzer and the WSP100 and
how to use it please refer to the lab manual or go to the following web
site: www.networkchemistry.com
Both of these exciting new features are now available at request.
AMILABS is also now a proud member of the Certified
Wireless Network Professional program.
