Argus 41 - ADSL Tester

ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+ tester with an ATU-R modem.

ARGUS 41 allows the installer to confirm that the promised ADSL service is being properly delivered to the subscriber.

 

Determine the ADSL Quality-of-Service automatically within seconds by receiving the connection rates and noise margins from the DSLAM at the customer.

 

Check through the network if the wiring does allow DSL service by connecting the battery powered ARGUS at various points at the end point, at the junction box, at the cross box - and optimise the local loop.

 

• ATU-R simulation for ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+
• Standards supported: ANSI T1.413.2, ITU-T G.992.1 (G.DMT) Annex A / B, ITU-T G.992.2 (G.Lite), ITU-T G.992.3 Annex A / B / L (Reach Extended) / Appendix 1, ITU-T G.992.4 Annex A / B / Appendix 1, ITU-T G.992.5
  
• ADSL over POTS (Annex A) or ADSL over ISDN (Annex B) or both* in the same tester available
  
• Automatically measures and displays the following upstream and downstream parameters of the line:

- ATM maximum bit rates

- ATM fast or interleaved bit rates

- noise margin, output power, line attenuation

 

• ATM cell and bit error statistics (upstream/downstream):

- CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

- FEC (Forward Error Correction)

- HEC (Header Error Checksum)

 

• ADSL tester with (ATU-R) modem simulation at the customer
