Test Agent hardware specifications

These specifications concern hardware units that are no longer available for purchase but are still supported in Paragon Active Assurance. The hardware intended as a replacement for these is the Juniper NFX150 Network Services Platform and Juniper ACX routers.

HW Small

This is a small, portable device with three Gigabit Ethernet ports. It has no fan or other moving parts and is therefore easy to move around and to deploy basically anywhere, even at an end-user site.

See this page for a description of the front panel LEDs on the HW Small device.
