Introduction
Page 14 Acterna ANT-5
Application software is included with the product to facilitate the measurement of
network transmission quality and the monitoring and injection of anomalies and
defects.
The product may on occasions be used on a working public network and is designed
to be used by a skilled person, usually a technician, who is aware of the precautions
necessary when using measuring instruments. The product is intended only for
connection to circuits carrying Safety Extra Low Voltages (SELV).
1.2 Features of the SDH Access Tester application software
The SDH Access Tester application software provides a complete set of test functions
for engineers who install and maintain SDH and PDH systems. Performance analysis
is a key feature during the commissioning process, and the anomalies and defects of
the system can be measured and recorded. The application has the following features:
• Bit error rate testing including anomaly & defect analysis, injection.
• Performance analysis: G.826 (ISM), G.826 (OOS), G.821, G.828, G.829, M.2100,
M.2101 & ANSI
• Overhead testing including path tracing and injection
• Results printing and export (to PC)
Optional software for the ANT-5 is discussed in section 5. For more information on
purchasing any of these specific features please contact the nearest Regional Sales
