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’s market, however, operators can no longer afford the time, capital expense, and labor costs to conduct tests separately and incrementally. Furthermore, test solutionsmust generate results that have a strategic impact throughout
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
For those technicians who only need to test ADSL, the instrument can be
configured for ADSL functionality only. AnyHST-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.
– A combined tester for Copper and DSL testing
– Lower repeat rateswith automated close out tests, scripting/pass-fail tests, and backoffice integration
– Modular hardware and software architecture is flexible and easily upgraded
– Laptop/PC integration via RS-232, USB, or wireless for easy results transfer
– Intuitive, easy-to-use GUI, lightweight, rugged and water resistant
HST-3000 instruments are also “enabled†to interact easilywith
laptops, PCs, handheld computers, modems, and terminals via industrystandard
links: serial, Bluetoothâ„¢ (short-range wireless), Ethernet, and
USB. The tester interoperates with laptops and PCs to capture job ticket information, and to quickly transfer test results back to the PC and dispatch program.
The HST-3000 also includes AUTOTESTs for POTS, as well as a custom scripting
capability that allows Acterna to customize test sequences and results
thresholds. These advanced functions and features give operators the control
they need to initiate faster service turn up and maintenance, better workforce
management and productivity, lower costs, and greater profitability.
Testing the physical layer to predict a loop’s ability to supportDSL and other
services is a critical step. However, it is a time-consuming process that can
delay service turn-up if not performed thoroughly.
The HST-3000 copper base instrument enables POTSinstallation and maintenance
technicians to quickly troubleshoot the local loop for faults and
conditions that affectDSL, such as bridged taps and excessive length.
Copper test features are optimized for use anywhere on the local loop.
For example: residence, NID, crossbox, pedestal, drop, main distribution
frame or anywhere a technician might gain access to the local loop to locate the source of trouble.
With a few keystrokes and the test instrument’s advanced time domain
reflectometer (TDR) and precision digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with
resistance to measure AC continuity, the length and location of bridged
taps, wet sections, and load coils are detected. The HST-3000 will also
quickly and accurately identify cable faults such as shorts, grounds, opens,
crosses, splits, and high-resistance faults. If problems are intermittent,
tracing will continue until the problem reappears. The HST-3000 also measures
loop length using tip-to-ring capacitance measurements.
With a push of a button, loop current, circuit loss, power influence, circuit
noise, and longitudinal balance tests run automatically. The HST-3000
graphically displays the comparison between test results and preset values
so that technicians know immediately if the line quality is pass, fail, or marginal.
In addition, with voice frequency and wideband TIMS, the HST-3000
easily proves that the copper pair meets loss requirements.
