Abstract:
1. A network diagnostic system comprising: a network diagnostic module configured to perform one or more network diagnostic functions, the network diagnostic module comprising an oscillator module, the oscillator module being programmable among at least two configurations, including a first configuration and a second configuration; in the first configuration, the oscillator module being configured to generate a first clock signal from a source signal, the first clock signal having a frequency, the frequency of the first clock signal being configured to support a data rate of a first network protocol, the source signal having a frequency, the frequency of the first clock signal being different from the frequency of the source signal; in the second configuration, the oscillator module being configured to generate a second clock signal from the source signal, the second clock signal having a frequency, the frequency of the second clock signal being configured to support a data rate of a second network protocol, the frequency of the second clock signal being different from the frequency of the source signal, the frequency of the second clock signal being different from the frequency of the first clock signal; wherein the one or more network diagnostic functions comprise any of the following network diagnostic functions; a bit-error-rate-tester network diagnostic function comprising; a generator network diagnostic function comprising: a jammer network diagnostic function comprising: a protocol-analyzer network diagnostic function comprising: a monitor network diagnostic function comprising:
