Argus 42 - ADSL Tester
The ARGUS 42 supporting ADSL/ ADSL 2 and ADSL 2+ testing. Includes Analogue (POTs) and ISDN 2 functions plus VOIP-SIP Support.
The ARGUS 42 is the latest package to offer ALL variants of ADSL, ADSL 2 and 2+, supporting the measurement of the upstream and downstream line parameters with a graphic display of the line spectrum. Determine the ADSL Quality-of-Service automatically within seconds by receiving the connection rates and noise margins from the DSLAM at the customer.
It can be used with ADSL-over-POTS as well as ADSL-over-ISDN. An optional IP ping function and an Ethernet interface with an Ethernet through-mode can be added to enable the ARGUS 42 to test Internet connections. With these, Network Operators can use these testers to exchange data packets with the Internet provider to determine the transmission quality of Internet connections.
The option(s) extend the testers with support for a whole range of additional test functions, which include among others a trace-route function for displaying all of the routers involved and ADSL data throughput tests for the FTP and http protocols. A TCP/IP dump includes the IP data and thus permits the user to perform an IP protocol analysis.
