Argus 145 - ADSL Tester
The ARGUS 145 offers an exceptionally broad spectrum of measurement functions: supports tests on SHDSL 2 and 4 wire, SHDSL.bis including EFM, ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ as well as POTS, U-interface and BRI accesses. VOIP, PESQ, IPTV and Ethernet applications available.
The ARGUS 145 is also well equipped for checking Internet connections with IP-PING and Trace Route functions as well as download tests. In addition, the tester offers an Ethernet Through mode as well as a Router Replacement mode with support for DHCP (Client and Server). As is the case with all other ARGUS handheld testers, all of these tests and functions are integrated into the device – so there is no need to bother with the annoyance of exchanging modules. The ARGUS 145 has a USB interface for quickly transferring large quantities of data plus a 100BaseT LAN interface. The large graphic (8x21 character) display makes it easier to read the measured values.
