Description
NetScout 8702ET/32 Two-Port T1/E1 WAN Ethernet Probe 8700 Series VER.D
The NetScout 8702ET/32 is a dedicated WAN and Ethernet network probe from NetScout's 8700 series, designed for monitoring and analyzing T1/E1 WAN links alongside Ethernet segments simultaneously. It is a purpose-built probe appliance — a standalone computer chassis housing the probe hardware — intended for deployment as part of a distributed network management infrastructure. This unit is hardware revision VER. D, manufactured March 1999.

Applications
The NetScout 8700 series WAN probes were used by network operations teams to provide RMON and RMON2 monitoring across WAN links (T1/E1) and Ethernet segments from a single distributed probe. These appliances were typically deployed at remote sites or within data centers and managed centrally by a NetScout management console, giving operations staff visibility into traffic, utilization, and fault conditions across geographically distributed WAN circuits. The 8702ET/32 specifically supports simultaneous T1/E1 WAN and Ethernet monitoring, making it suited for sites where both link types were present — a common configuration in enterprise and service-provider environments of the late 1990s. Today these units are sought by collectors, legacy network labs, and organizations still running or archiving NetScout-based monitoring infrastructures from that era.
This NetScout 8702ET/32 Two-Port WAN/Ethernet Probe powers on and the front-panel LEDs light up, but we were not able to fully test its WAN and Ethernet probe functions at our facility. It is being sold as-is. The chassis is in good cosmetic shape overall with light surface wear typical of used equipment. The rear I/O panel shows WAN ports (WAN 3 and WAN 4), UTP, Thinnet, and Thicknet Ethernet connections, Console and Remote DB-9 ports, and a DIP switch bank — all appearing intact visually. The label on the rear identifies the unit as Ver. D, manufactured 3/4/99. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
