Test DOCSIS, cable modem performance and VoIP quality analysis levels
DSP technology for quick, accurate measurements and high tech productivity
Internet browser and server functions integrate with OSS and Workforce Management
Large, easy-to-read display and simple user interface for shorter learning curve
Efficient design for long battery life ? up to five times that of competing instruments
Adaptable platform grows to meet the needs of technicians at every tier
The high-performance portable analyzer for the digital age.
Now you can use a single instrument for all the critical transmission and signal quality tests you need to install and maintain analog, digital, HSD and VoIP services ? without the pauses and boot-up delays of other field analyzers.
You can also easily upgrade the 860 DSPi for new applications ? right in the field ? or add powerful options like high-resolution spectrum analysis, QAM and QPSK constellation displays and a wide range of return path tests, all without impacting size or weight. TraffiControl Feature Enables troubleshooting ingress and impulse noise within an active upstream channel band. QAM Source Mode This is one means for verifying the upstream transmission capability of a particular segment of the network for higher order QAM signals, up to 64 QAM. Many cable systems have stepped from QPSK to 16 QAM and now are moving to 64 QAM for upstream data transmission. 8 VSB functionality This optional feature allows the operator to connect an off air antenna to the 860 DSP input port and read level, MER, BER, and view constellation and equalizer tap information on 8 VSB channels. High speed Throughput This option allows the technician to test upstream/downstream data path throughput to the full range of the bonded channels. This is a valuable tool for verifying provisioning as well as bandwidth availability at customer homes or at key test points in the system. Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS) Provides periodic grants for an upstream service flow without the need for a cable modem to transmit bandwidth requests. Advanced CSO / CTB in-channel functionality Enables in-service testing when used with a 3rd party Line Blanker. Line Viewer Utility This is feature that can be used to verify the line blanking.
