Improving the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of DSL services
operators are rapidly deploying DSL in their networks to deliver multimedia services over the existing copper wire in the local loop. Traditionally, one set of technicians performed individualized tests that qualified the copper while another set conducted DSL services testing and verification. In todayﾒs market, however, operators can no longer afford the time, capital expense, and labor costs to conduct tests separately and incrementally. Furthermore, test solutions must generate results that have a strategic impact throughout an operatorﾒs entire organization. This may include building customer loyalty by locating and fixing problems quickly, improving profitability by performing more tests with less staff, or leveraging workforce productivity by automating processes, methods, and procedures.
The JDSU HST-3000 is a modular handheld tester that can be built to order, to test the copper, test the DSL service and improve the process. Technicians use the HST-3000 copper base instrumentand the copper service interface module (SIM) to qualify, maintain, and troubleshoot the local loop. This same base instrument, with a second SIM that tests both ADSL and the copper, enables one technician to perform tests thatwere previously conducted by two technicians using different equipment.
For those technicians who only need to test ADSL, the instrument can be configured for ADSL functionality only. Any HST-3000 module equipped to perform ADSL service tests can also verify ISP and Internet connectivity with the Acterna Advanced IP Suite software option. With the HST-3000 minimize the time and reduce the capital expense and labor cost associated with ADSL and copper testing.

SIM CUADSL2-TX ANX A Module
The HSTﾒs copper testing features allow quick turn-up and troubleshooting of the services provided over copper. This includes testing with DVOM, opens, power (Mains) influence (PI), noise, balance, time domain reflectometer (TDR), resistive fault locate (RFL), load coil detect, loss, wideband transmission impairment measurement set (WBTIMS), caller ID, and POTS dialer.
The HST provides process customization through on-board auto tests and allows workflow improvements via connectivity to craft access terminals and back-office systems.
The copper testing features include the following:
- Measuring AC and DC voltage, current, and resistance
- Measuring to opens (length of cable)
- Measuring balance, noise, and power (Mains) influence (PI)
- Locating cable faults with the TDR or RFL
- Detecting load coils
- Measuring loop loss (voiceband) including receiving and sending tones; transmission impairment testing (noise, SNR, return loss)
- Voice service and caller ID (CLID) testing
- WBTIMS and WB2 TIMS testing including sending/ receiving tones; measuring wideband, impulse, and spectral noise; and transmission impairment testing (noise, SNR, return loss, crosstalk)
- Automatic testing using scripts, including POTS close out, good pair check, and wideband auto tests.
ADSL is designed to carry a digital signal, over a copper pair, above the voice frequency band (20 KHzﾖ1.1 MHz) to enable high speed internet service over a standard POTS line. This allows ﾓalways onﾔ internet access while simultaneously providing voice service. Typical POTS line quality will normally support ADSL, but the DSL service must be tested when trouble strikes. To troubleshoot DSL service, a modem emulation test set, such as the HST-3000, is needed. The DSLAM and network configuration is verified by connecting at the main distribution frame (MDF) where known interference and attenuation are minimal, as shown in Figure 1. The physical (ADSL) layer data rates and noise margins are reviewed to confirm that they match the service contract. Validate correct DSLAM and BRAS provisioning by connecting to the customer line and authenticating with the network through the DSLAM.
VDSL-CX/WB2 SIM - Conexant ADSL2+/VDSL2 Testing Wide Band 2 (Up to 30MHz) Copper Test
Qualifying a very high speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) service that can transport high definition television (HDTV) and triple-play services requires more than a simple Go/No-Go tester. One lightweight, robust, battery-operated JDSU HST-3000 tester equipped with the Infineon Technologies VDSL2 module offers more capability than any other handheld tester on the market. This tester gives both technicians and telco engineers the confidence and the necessary power to complete the job, and get it done right.
JDSU HST-3000 SIM HST-CX-VBONDED-WB2
When used with the HST-3000 this module (Wide-Band 2 up to 30mb) can be used to test single pair and bonded VDSL .
The capabilities of the VDSL features include the following:
- Variety of VDSL testing modes for service verification, local loop testing, and network connectivity.
| Mode | Function |
| VDSL Modem emulate mode | Used to test basic VDSL physical layer rates, quality and line statistics. Also used for testing the following types of lines: IP over Ethernet and PPP over Ethernet |
| VDSL Through mode | Used for testing the following types of lines: Bridged Ethernet and PPP over Ethernet. |

Wide Band 2 (WB2)
Complete copper testing to support VDSL/VDSL2 and triple-play deployments
- Expanded copper testing frequency range
- Tx/Rx Tones ranging from 100 kHz to 30 MHz
- Wideband Noise measurements from +15 to -90 dBm
- Impulse Noise measurements from +15 to -60 dBm
- Spectral analysis with spectral masks and band plans up to 30 MHz (-28 to -150 dBm/Hz)
Wideband copper SIM functionality available in combination with VDSL/VDSL2 test SIMs
Fully compatible with the HST-3000-CE and HST-3000C-CE mainframes, the HST-3000WBII SIMincludes an internal copper measurement board that enhances the functionality of the HST-3000C mainframe copper measurement board and adds limited wideband copper test capability to non-copper test mainframes. The WBII SIM features dual Tip & Ring (T&R) and Ground interfaces. Due to high-frequency range and measurement sensitivity, this SIM supports special test cables, which can also be used with existing HST-3000C copper test functions. For the most accurate results, use of specially insulated cables for testing higher frequency services such as VDSL2 is recommended.
