CTS 710
The ANSI standards for SONET specify requirements for the network
element (ADM, multiplexers, terminals, etc.) interfaces. Installation,
commissioning, maintenance and repair of the SONET network involves the
challenge of testing to ANSI standards. The CTS 710 is ready for the
challenge to assist with these and other testing needs. In one
configurable, expandable and upgradable instrument you will find
everything required to do your testing.
Configurable
The CTS 710 is a rugged portable test set designed not only for your
current tasks; through its unique architecture, it will grow with you as
SONET grows. When you require additional capabilities such as optical
interfaces, jitter analysis, ATM testing, etc., you can add such
functionality to your CTS 710. This upgradability is important due to
evolving nature of the standards, test requirements and equipment
capabilities.
The CTS 710 is part of a new generation of test sets combining
various different functions in one instrument with the power to go
beyond basic testing. The modular nature of the test set allows you to
configure the instrument to your needs, without the cost of unwanted
built-in capabilities. Starting with a low cost platform which addresses
your basic SONET testing needs, you can expand its capabilities as
desired with a growing number of options.
Easy to Use
The CTS 710 incorporates a number of new
productivity features:
- AutoScan - Graphically presents the incoming signal structure
and allows easy instrument setup
- Pass/Fail Testing - Automates following a written test procedure
- TroubleScan - Highlights error, alarms and defects
- Graphical Displays - For historical trend analysis
- Online Help - For quick assistance with operation
- Disk Drive - For easy storage of instrument setups, Pass/Fail
Test and results
This instrument employs innovative hardware technology which
reprograms itself, depending on the operational mode. Future demands
regarding access and control of particular bytes are easily
reprogrammed. Upgrades are distributed on disks.
