Atec JDSU-ANT-5 - Manual (Page 3)

The access technicians’ tool of
choice
The ANT-5 provides all of the
transmission test functions required in
today’s access networks:
– Optical power measurement
– Bit error rate testing
– G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, ANSI,
M.2100, and M.2101 analysis
– Received signal offset measurement
– Transmit signal offset and generation
– Tabular and graphical event recording
Extensive SDH/SONET features
The ANT-5 is loaded with SDH and
SONET test features covering all
installation and maintenance tasks up
to 2.5 Gbps:
– STM-0e, STM-1e/STS-3 interface
– STM-1/OC-3 to STM-16/OC-48
optical ports at dual wavelengths
(1310/1550 nm)
– Auto-configuration
– Anomaly generation and analysis
– Defect generation and analysis
– SOH/POH generation and analysis
(HEX or clear text format)
– Pointer generation and analysis
– Path trace generation and analysis
– Tandem connection monitoring
(TCM) generation and analysis
– APS/service disruption measurements
– RTD measurements
– Automatic tributary scanning
– K-byte capture
Full PDH support
From 1.5 Mbps to 140 Mbps,
including nx64 Kbps, the ANT-5 can
test all PDH tributaries and legacy
PDH hierarchy transmission systems
using high-level functions that include
E1 Sa bit generation and display.

ANT-5 SDH ACCESS TESTER
T-carrier support
The ANT-5 is also equipped with a
standard T1 Bantam interface and
supports DS1 and DS3 interfaces and
structures.
In addition, the multiplexer/
demultiplexer (mux/demux) option
now supports M13 framing (DS1/DS3)
and allows for 64 K channel analysis.
ATM service verification
UMTS network rollout and ADSL
growth is increasing the use of ATM in
the access network. The ANT-5 enables
the installation and maintenance of
ATM carried over PDH, SDH, and
SONET networks that include:
– DS1, STS-1 SPE, DS3
– E1, E3 (G.832), E4
– VC-4/STS-3c SPE
– VC-4-4c/STS-12c SPE
PVC cells can be generated over UNI
and NNI with CBR and VBR traffic
load profiles up to STM-4c rates.
Service quality can be checked using
BER or O.191 measurements. Link and
channel performance can be monitored
while traffic statistics are recorded.
Channel Explorer scans automatically
for active VCI/VPI and displays the
result in tabular form.
3G Network & DSLAM
Enhanced Support (Options)
With the 3G roll-out and expansion
coupled with the increase in ATM-
DSLAMs to support Triple Play, there is
a need for enhanced ATM support and
IP-Over ATM capability. The ANT-5
enables installation and maintenance of
these networks with extended ATM
capability:-
– AAL2 Generation and analysis
– AAL5 Generation and analysis
– IP-Ping (Send Ping and Reply To Ping
– IP-Trace Route
– Inverse Multiplexing in ATM(IMA)
monitoring
The Traffic Channel analysis allows the
scanning of a range of VPI/VCI
channels and reports on the type of
traffic and the nature of the traffic.
