JDSU HST-3000C Tester w/ CU T1 / T3 & BRI Modules

Acterna HST-3000 Handheld Consumer Services Tester

Improving the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of DSL services
With a market primed for broadband, 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 Acterna 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.

As a widely deployed service, ISDN is a key source of revenue for telecommunication service providers world-wide. This, coupled with todayﾒs reduced budgets and smaller workforces, make it more critical than ever to ensure the timely and successful turn up and maintenance of ISDN service ﾖ the first time out. Additionally, thorough ISDN testing can prove more complex than basic physical layer and BER testing for technicians who lack the necessary training. To meet these challenges, an easy-to-use, versatile test solution is required that helps reduce failures and repeat rates while enhancing efficiency and ensuring consistent test practices.

The Acterna HST-3000 is a powerful and versatile test instrument for testing ISDN PRI service. Hand-held, rugged and easy-to-use, the HST-3000 is ideal for field use. Its modular design provides a scalable, all-in-one solution for ISDN testing, as well as thorough testing of the facilities over which it is provided.

The HST-3000 ISDN PRI option enables testing of Primary Rate ISDN circuits at both the customer site and central office. It supports call placement, receipt, D-Channel Decode analysis for 23B+D, NFAS (Non-Facility Associated Signaling), 24B and backup D channel switching. With the full range of T1 loopcodes and BERT patterns it can also test BER across any combination of channels to verify service before delivery to the customer.

HST-3000 BRI SIM Module (install and maintain ISDN BRI services)

The HST-3000 ISDN BRI SIM enables you to install and maintain ISDN BRI services. Using the HST with the BRI SIM, you can place, receive, and analyze calls, test data services using BERT analysis, test voice services using a microphone/ speaker audio headset, and monitor physical (layer 1), LAPD (layer 2), and Q.931 (layer 3) results.
 

Features and capabilities

Using the ISDN BRI SIM, you can:

• Store frequently used numbers in a phone book, and then select a number from the phone book when placing a call.
• Place and receive up to two calls simultaneously using the standard transmit-receive interfaces. After a call is established, you can insert voice traffic into the associated B Channel, or perform BERT analysis of the B Channel.
• BERT (IDSL) of the physical line.
• Perform BERT analysis of two B Channels simultaneously.
• Emulate central office equipment using Line Termination (LT) mode.
• Emulate terminal equipment devices using Terminal Equipment (TE) mode for a U interface.
• Process calls for the following switches:
• AT&T 5ESS
• Nortel DMS 100
• National ISDN-1 (NI-1) and National ISDN-2 (NI-2) compliant switches
• Siemens EWSD
• Monitor and analyze ISDN BRI service while the network is in-service.
• Isolate and locate problems by viewing D channel decode text for all captured transmitted and received frames when you monitor or terminate ISDN BRI service. After viewing the decode text, you can save the text to a file on the HST-3000.
• Place D channel packet calls on the U or S/T interface, and then send a FOX message to verify that the correct text is received on the far end of the circuit.
