The Latest in Portable Intelligent Testing

Technicans require an easy-to-use portable test set to handle the job the first time out. This is why they choose Acterna's TPI 550B+ to validate their internal communications networks.    

•  Local/Distant bearer capability tests which quickly confirm that calls can be placed to the local switch and to a distant subscriber using four different bearer capabilities.   
• One of the 550 differentiators is the ability to perform an inter-B channel delay measurement, display the results, then run dual BERT at 64K, to assure videoconferencing success.   
• Other new enhancements are G.821 in BERT, more BERT patterns, and 3.1K audio bearer capabilities.
• Additional enhancements include test macros, parameter download, AutoSPID, and IDSL testing.    
•   Verifies customer services for Voice, Data, and Packet (B and D Channel) services.  
•   Determines line quality with BER testing (prequalification with LT/NT Emulation Mode).  
•   Tests the ISDN network at the 2-wire U interface using 2B1Q line coding, and at the 4-wire S/T interface.
•   Testing at these interfaces can include Margin Analysis using selectable dB Loss Pads. LEDs indicate vital information for each interface, including Sync, Active and Ready status.  
•   Optional U-Monitor interface allows bi-directional monitoring of in-service D-Channel signaling messages with storage, on screen LCD display, or RS-232 data port output.  
•   Emulates the NT1 or the TE (i.e., an ISDN phone), or a combination of the two (NT1/TE). Is also capable of testing these elements in isolation - an important problem-solving feature. 
•   Pinpoint ISDN problems with Auto SPID. This feature reports and displays the SPIDs, allowing you to select the correct SPID for testing.

Acterna TPI Model 82 (4WLL) DDS Test Unit

Rent me for $150 a month

   The TPI Model 82 DDS Test Unit is used for qualification turn-up testing of 4-wire local loop facilities used in DDS (Digital Data System) and Basic Digital Service offerings. Normally used at the Customer Premises, the Model 82 automatically configures itself to reflect the serving Central Office Channel Unit (OCU). Network generated Loopback capabilites include CSU and DSU Loopbacks and CSU and DSU Latching Loopbacks. Test capabilites include 511 and 2047 PRBS (Pseudo Random Bit Sequence) and QRS (Quasi Random Signal), in addition to the Pattern Senstive (Stress) sequences. Received Byte Pattern LED's and Error Readouts per Channel make the Model 82 an easy-to-use Loop Tester. Battery power makes the Model 82 truly portable. The DDS Test Unit has capability of testing both the Primary and Secondary Channels (where applicable) at data rates of 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 56, and 64 Kbps.

   Provides an effective tool to quickly isolate problems and minimize repair time Suits the field with its rugged construction, lightweight design and battery-powered operation Delivers a field portable solution that is easy-to-use at the customer's premises or to turn-up DDS and SW56 service Supports local loop BER and loopback testing. Reports the following results: Bit errors, errored seconds, percentage error free seconds, bit error rate, as well as receive signal state, data rate and line loss Application: 4-wire local loop access: The technician can access the circuit at the NID or DDS termination unit at the customer premises with the Acterna 4WLL Service Tester 82. Once conected to the circuit the technician can verify the presence of a good circuit from the serving central office (CO) to the demarcation point at the customer premises, by using a variety of BER patterns such as 511 and 2047. Loopback to testing: Using network test equipment, the CO test center can issue a CSU or DSU loopback to the Acterna 82. Once the loopback is established, the network test equipment will send and receive BERT patterns. The source of a problem may reside at the customer premises or in the 4-wire local loop. The Acterna 82 can conduct BER testing on the local loop when a hard loop is placed on the OCU DataPort (OCU-DP) card, enabling the technician to test in either direction from the customer premises. Straightaway testing: Straightaway testing is similar to loopback testing. The Acterna 4WLL Service can transmit or transmit and receive a known test pattern toward each other simultaneously. This method helps to isolate problems between the transmit or receive sides of the circuit. End-to-end testing:

   As a long-term, economical solution to high-speed, low-latency communications found in wide area networks (WANs), frame relay is an integral part of today?s changing technological environment. Increased deployment of frame relay services demands a highly reliable, portable turn-up tool?TTC?s TPI 650. An economical alternative to expensive protocol analyzers, the TPI 650 is ideal for wide-scale use in the field. Used to turn-up and troubleshoot frame relay digital circuits at the user network interface (UNI), the full-featured TPI 650 boasts a two-in-one design that supports frame relay services and facilities testing for multiple-application use. Other standard features include multiple test access interfaces for DS1 (FT1), 4WLL (DDS), V.35, and RS-530.

 

Features

• Provide needed flexibility for turn-up of services and troubleshooting
• Weather-sealed cover protects connector interfaces
• Rechargable battery provides eight hours of continuous use
• Auto-configuration makes set-up quick and easy
• On-screen prompts guide users through tests
• Lid label provides a quick reference of test functions

    The Tele-Path Instruments 650 Frame Relay Test Set is a compact, battery operated device used to conduct testing of Frame Relay circuits at the Customer Premise (CP) or User Network Interface (UNI). The TPI 650's operating modes allow it to function in a Terminating mode, acticng as the CSU/DSU and TE,DTE, or in Monitor mode allowing monitoring of an operational FRS circuit. With the optional FRS Stress Testing feature installed the unit can test a new network leg by generating various data rates and frame sizes in order to "stress" the network. The TPI 650 allows testing of a FRS circuit by emulating a CSU/DSU and TE and communicating toward the network at the UNI or emulating DTE and testing toward the CSU/DSU. Full T-1 or Franctional T-1 service is supported on the 4-wire Local Loop (DDS) Interface. The DTE interface supports all speeds up to 1.536 Kbps using TPI test cables. The TPI 650 allows the user to place a FRS data call, choose data call speed, cunduct PING testing, performing Bit Error Testing, and monitor DLCI's for troubleshooting testing.

Adtech/Spirent AX4000 Broadband Test System Portable Chassis

   Both the AX/4000 Broadband Test System mainframe and portable chassis requires one control module for connecting to an external controller PC or workstation. The mainframe has sixteen slots for installing AX/4000 test modules and port interfaces. The portable chassis has four slots. The AX/4000 chassis provides timing signals and communications between the control module and the test modules. Because every test module on the bus has its own address, they can be accessed individually and operated independently of one another. This permits multiple users to access modules in the same chassis simultaneously. The portable chassis has 4 card slots.

Adtech/Spirent SX/12-2 Data Link Simulator

Rent me for $500 a month

supports link speeds up to 8.448 Mbps

 

   Adtech SX Series Data Link Simulators create the same delay and error characteristics caused by long distance terrestrial and satellite data links. By providing realistic simulations of actual network conditions, they allow users to stress test equipment and network applications without the expense and inconsistency inherent with on-line testing. Utilizing dual-channel, full-duplex interfaces, these devices provide true bi-directional testing using programmable delays, random bit errors, and burst errors. Multiple delay and error events can be programmed into complex sequences to simulate a wide variety of adverse link conditions or even specific events such as targeting line framing bits and testing CPE alarm thresholds. Adtech?s lowest priced simulator model, the SX/12, is available in three versions supporting link speeds up to 8.448 Mbps. Adtech Data Link Simulators can be used to test the effects of digital data links on the operation, performance, and reliability of multiplexers, bridges, encrypters, network applications, and related communications hardware and software products.

   There are three different versions of the SX/12. All function identically except for the maximum link speed each version supports. An Extended T1/E1 Simulation option is available for the SX/12-1 and SX/12-2 versions. This factory installed hardware option provides additional delay and error simulation parameters for T1 (1.544 Mb/s) and E1 (G.703 2.048 Mbps) data streams.
