Atec JDSU-ANT-5 - Manual (Page 2)

Easiest to use
Technicians prefer instruments that
are the easiest to use, so that they can
concentrate their efforts on measure-
ment tasks rather than on the complex
operation of the instrument itself.
The ANT-5 is the most complete
instrument, with all of the necessary
interfaces already built-in, including
T1 Bantam, E1 balanced, and E1
unbalanced up to optical interfaces
with STM-16/OC-48. It covers T-
carrier, PDH, SDH, and SONET
technology, all in one instrument.
The ANT-5’s world-class ease-of-use is
based on a clearly structured operation
concept:
SETUP – RESULTS –
ACTIONS.
The ANT-5 offers three operation
modes to cover all necessary field
applications, including intrusive, non-
intrusive, and monitoring modes. An
important feature is the ECL/NRZ
port for monitoring optical circuits at
electrical monitor points provided by
network elements (STM-1/-4/-16).
The navigation key allows for simple
operation, and the keyboard supports
the easy input of comments, file
names, etc.

ANT-5 SDH ACCESS TESTER
The portable solution
The ANT-5’s compact, robust design is
ideal for field and central office
applications. The convenient, built-in
stand and comfortable carry strap
enable hands-free testing in any
location. And, its extended battery life
allows for testing even when AC
power is not on hand.
Optional carrying cases protect the
ANT-5 when technicians travel
between sites and provide a safe and
convenient place for storing cables and
accessories.
Simplest handheld to learn
Access technicians need a tester that
can simplify their key tasks without
extensive training. With its large color
screen, graphical user interface (GUI),
and ergonomic keypad, the ANT-5 is
the simplest handheld to learn and use
on the market today. Other features
include:
– Labelled LEDs that show current
and historical alarms
– OK results summary and pass/fail
results screen displays
– Auto-save of test results
– Fast store and recall of key network
configurations
– Auto-configuration detects actual
signal structure
– Automatic testing
The internal memory can hold
hundreds of files. For result analysis
and report generation, the ANT-5
allows for the easy transfer of files to
the instrument’s Compact Flash
Memory Card (CF card). In addition,
the Mircrosoft® Windows®-based Off-
line Viewer provides simple results
analysis.
For report generation, the Off-line
Viewer print functions can be used,
supporting any of your desktop
printers in your Windows
environment.
Application selection
The ANT-5 application menu opens
direct access to the following
applications:
– Performance Analysis (according to
ITU-T, ANSI)
– Repetitive BERT (radio link application)
– Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
– Service Disruption Measurements
– OH Capture
– Round Trip Delay Measurements
(RTD)
The corresponding results are directly
accessible in the results page structure.
