Product description
The Acterna ANT-5 SDH Access Tester is used for the installation and commissioning of SDH, SONET, PDH, and ATM access networks from 1.544 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. It is small, easy to use, and is the ideal field tool.

Highlights
  • Configurable and upgradeable with a wide range of optical interfaces and SW options, e.g. ATM.
  • All interfaces built in: Electrical interfaces for PDH/SDH: T1,E1,E3,DS3,E4, STM-0e/1e; Optical interfaces (option) for SDH/SONET: Single and Dual optics Tx up to 2.5 G, covering: STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC-12, and STM-16/OC-48.
  • Autoconfig functionality for automatic traffic detection (line rate, structure, mapping).
  • PDH Mux/Demux testing down to 64 kbps (E1/E3/E4 and DS1/DS3 Mux/Demux chain).
  • ATM test functionality with all supported bit rates and mappings up to Vc4-4c.
  • Offline Viewer SW provides impressive result analysis and report generation on any Microsoft Windows-based printer. Generation of instrument configuration for transfer to the unit itself.
  • Built-in Ethernet port for extended connectivity, enabling remote operation and results transfer.

Applications

  • Installation and commissioning of STM-0e/1/4/16, OC-3/12/48, and E4, DS3, E3, E1, and T1 links.
  • Troubleshooting features for easier fault location.
  • In-service and out-of-service testing with in-line monitor and intrusive thru mode functionality. Enables interruption free service monitoring via ECL NRZ Rx ports (STM-n).
  • ATM service verification: Testing of ATM carried over PDH, SDH, and SONET.
  • 3G/UMTS network installation and commissioning with Channel Explorer functionality detecting active VCI/VPIs.
  • Radio link adjustments by repetitive BERT functionality.

Key Features

  • Bit Error Rate testing.
  • Performance analysis according to international standards: G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, M.2100,M.2101 and ANSI.
  • APS-measurement including Service Disruption.
  • Round Trip Delay measurement.
  • Pointer generation and analysis.
  • Overhead generation and analysis including path trace [in Hex and clear text format (interpreter)].
  • TCM generation and analysis.
  • K-Byte generation, analysis and capture.
