Fast, Simple, Intuitive
Touch-Screen Graphical User
Interface
The applications-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) is based
on a powerful combination of touchscreen software and the largest VGA gray-scale
display available in any product of its kind. No test instrument has ever been
this simple or elegant. Testing is automatic - with one touch, your technicians
can have the information they need and be on their way to the next test
site.
Field-Replaceable Battery
The unpredictability
of field testing demands battery operation. Powered by a state of-the-art nickel
metal- hydride (NiMH) battery, the FST 2209 goes wherever you need to go. The
battery is small and easily accessible - so if it runs low on site, you can
install a new one and resume testing in seconds. Advanced software and battery
charge hardware allows the battery to charge in either trickle-charge or
fast-charge modes.
Advanced Low-Power
Technology
The FST 2209 utilizes technology advances in low-power
design, high-integration ASICs, and state of- the-art memory and logic devices
to minimize size and maximize battery life. You’ll get three hours of
uninterrupted battery operation on each charge.
Designed for the
Way You Test
Rugged Field-Oriented
Design
With more than 20 years of test experience, we know how and
where you test. We’ve constructed the FST 2209 with a tough rubber overmold and
a sturdy custom display mounting to protect it against extreme temperatures,
vibrations, and mechanical twists. Each instrument is durability-tested to stand
up to the on-site conditions you face every day.
Modular Architecture
The FST 2209’s Acterna 2000 platform
sets a new standard for flexibility and future growth potential for lightweight,
hand-held test instruments. The FST 2209 application module separates easily
from the Acterna 2000 platform, so you can quickly plug in other applications as
your testing needs change.
Dual PCMCIA Interface
Two
PCMCIA slots add to your FST 2209’s power and versatility, making it easy to
install future software upgrades. And the FST 2209 is designed with non-volatile
memory, so the loss of an upgrade card does not put you out of
service.
The Logical Choice in Network
Testing
Maintaining telecommunications networks becomes more
challenging every day. The industry is changing fast, with new technologies, new
competitors, and new network service offerings. You need an instrument designed
to simplify testing of today’s most complex, far reaching networks. For highly
integrated test applications on both the pipeline and service levels, the FST
2209 is the logical choice.
The FST 2209 is designed as a value-added
tool to help you install and maintain revenue-earning networks and services
quickly, easily, and inexpensively. With just a touch, you’ll know that your
network is performing as advertised, and you can rest assured that you are
offering your customers the highest quality voice and data services
available.
Dual-Receiver In-Service Monitoring
Use the dual-receiver
capability of the FST 2209 to perform in-service monitoring of both transmit and
receive signals simultaneously.
Advanced Timing Analysis
Pinpoint
signal delays, timing slips, and mismatches between switch and remote equipment
using the advanced timing analysis features of the FST
2209.
Physical-Layer Problems
Isolate and troubleshoot physical-layer
problems associated with data or other advanced services, without taking
unaffected channels out of service.
The Right Touch for
Telecommunications Testing
For customers deploying voice and data network
technologies, the FST 2209 combines essential installation and maintenance test
functions in an intelligent, field-ready test instrument weighing less than five
pounds.
The touch-screen interface simplifies complex test applications
and results information, eliminating configuration errors and misdiagnosis of
test results. Field technicians will be able to test effectively the first time,
every time. The result is increased user efficiency and productivity and less
lost revenue from network downtime.
Dual T1 Interface
Monitor and
perform BERT testing in both directions of a circuit simultaneously. Identify
and sectionalize circuit problems from network equipment faults. The FST 2209
also provides a full range of signal, alarm, and timing tests to ensure proper
performance from your T1 network connections.
Advanced Stress
Patterns
Include several of the industry-recommended stress patterns in your
circuit acceptance criteria to verify proper network performance. These
pre-programmed long user patterns include 55 OCTET and T1 DALY.
VF
Channel Access and PCM TIMS
Monitor the voice quality of your network with
the internal channel monitor functionality of the FST 2209. Verify individual
channels and monitor data or signaling bits without disrupting network traffic.
Transmit and measure tones on an individual PCM channel basis utilizing the FST
2209’s in-service channel access capabilities - affecting only the channel under
test and without impacting other revenue earning channels.
Fractional T1
Channels
Verify proper network routings and signal delays to ensure all
channel signals are terminated properly and with the correct timing. Isolate
single-circuit faults in rural locations or on the outer reaches of the service
area without knocking out the entire line.
Signaling
Ensure high
quality transmission and signaling performance of T1 voice trunks. Test the
ability of a switch/PBX to handle incoming calls and emulate switch-to-switch
communications. Place, receive, and monitor calls over several trunk
types.
FST-2000 TestPad Mainframe
The FST-2000 TestPad is the user interface for the TestPad family. The
combination of a user interface and an application module represents a complete
test tool. This architecture provides TestPad users with the flexibility to
invest in additional test modules as their testing needs change, allowing them
to capitalize on an investment already made.
The FST-2000 has been designed for mobile technicians to improve the overall
installation and troubleshooting process by providing features that are enablers
for a total process improvement solution. The FST-2000 employs wireless
connectivity, along with a local Web Browser and VT100, allows for storage and
transfer of files, all of which enable field technicians to complete their jobs
more effectively.
