Atec JDSU-ANT-5 - Manual (Page 4)

Remote GUI
Remote operation is achieved by
establishing a suitable communi-
cations link over an Ethernet LAN.
Once the link has been successfully set
up, the PC/laptop can communicate
with the ANT-5 using the supplied
version of the ANT-5 GUI faceplate.
Advanced remote testing
capability
The ANT-5 also provides an advanced
remote testing capability over
Ethernet. As a result, technicians can
poll instruments remotely from their
offices,
simplifying long-term
commissioning and maintenance tests
and dramatically reducing travel time
and costs. Test results can be saved to
any network hard disk or printed from
any network printer for convenient
analysis.
Simple test and results
management
Due to its built-in Ethernet port, CF
card port, and printer port, the ANT-5
can integrate more effectively and
simply with day-to-day operations.
– Export standard test setups to other
ANT-5s or PCs via the CF card
– Exchange results over LANs using
Windows-based PCs
– Print test reports directly via the
serial interface or from a PC using
the Off-line Viewer software
Result evaluation (Off-line
Viewer)
Results (in ANT-5 format) can be
loaded, analyzed, and printed by any
Windows-based PC using the ANT-5
Off-line Viewer software.
Off-line Viewer enables the generation
of
specific setups with easy
downloading to the instrument. The
user interface can be displayed in the
following languages: English, German,
French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese,
and Chinese. This Windows-based
software,
included with each
instrument, can also be used for
training purposes,
providing an
excellent product simulation.

ANT-5 SDH ACCESS TESTER
Flexible, cost-effective platform
The ANT-5’s flexible design enables it
to be adapted quickly to operators’
changing requirements. In addition, its
field upgradeable capability, provided
by the Compact Flash port, enables
technicians in the field to install-
software in minutes.
Hardware upgrades can be purchased
to add optical bandwidths or
wavelengths. This protects the initial
investment and reduces additional
training expenses while allowing
operators to match capital expend-
itures to network rollout plans.
The ANT-5 is an industry-leading
access tester that sets new standards for
portability,
ease of use, and
adaptability. It is the ideal device for
field technicians who need to test a
range of SDH, PDH, SONET, and ATM
digital links both onsite and from a
remote location.
As a result, the
ANT-5 provides a significant
advantage for companies wishing to
optimize quality of service using a cost-
effective, industry-proven solution.
