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.
