Overview

In critical systems, it is essential being able to analyse the network communications at frame level for testing and forensic purposes. Furthermore, the validity of this analysis will be constrained by the capability of the infrastructure to correlate the frames with a common time reference. 

For that purpose, SOC-E has developed RELY-REC, a device that is able to inspect, timestamp and record regular Ethernet and high-availability Ethernet (HSR/PRP) traffic, using the same PTP (IEEE 1588) or NTP timing reference than the network under analysis.

Key Features

  1. Sustained Ethernet Capture and Record (PCAP format) in Both Conventional Ethernet Networks and High-availability Networks, Like HSR and PRP
  2. Synchronized Using NTP or PTP (IEEE 1588) Through the Same Network Being Monitored or Through a Separate Port
  3. Up to 256GB SSD of Local Data Storage
  4. Data Format (PCAP) Compatible With Popular Network Monitoring Tools Like Wireshark
  5. Simplified Management and Monitoring Via a User-friendly HTTPS Web Interface or SSH Accessible CLI
  6. Rugged Design Built for High Reliability & 24/7 Operation
