T1 or E1 Circuit Tester for NetTek BTS Field Tool
The Tektronix NetTek® Analyzer is a revolutionary portable BTS field tool. The YBT1E1 Backhaul T1 or E1 tester enables mobile operators to troubleshoot the T1 or E1 connection to the base station.
Field Troubleshooting
The YBT1E1 card for the NetTek BTS Field Tool includes the most common measurements needed to uncover T1 or E1 problems affecting a live mobile network. The YBT1E1 can verify the presence and level of T1 or E1 signals. Frame format, synchronization and line coding are displayed.
The YBT1E1 also has the capability to display the alarm and error status of the T1 or E1 span.
The YBT1E1 allows users to gather detail on any of the alarm or error events. Simply touch any of the red events and the instrument provides detail about the network event. This detail includes the number of events and the time of the event, and provides useful information to correlate network logs to field data.
Installation Tests
Many of the same tests available for field troubleshooting are also useful for installing the span. The YBT1E1, however, also supports measurements that specifically aid in the acceptance of a new, or repaired, T1 or E1 circuit.
The YBT1E1 provides a "channel gram" feature for monitoring the status of each of the 24 DS0s (forT1) or 32 DS0s (for E1) that make up a T1 or E1. This enables quick verification of data content of the span - this feature is particularly useful for checking the correct configuration of a multiplexed circuit.
The DSO Activity Graph arranges the DS0s into columns. Time is the vertical axis and different densities are shown with different colors. With this unique feature, users can quickly verify the presence of traffic, signaling channels, etc. and how the data is changing over time.
User-defined multiple-pattern tests can be created with the YBT1E1. These are automated sequences that can be run for minutes, or hours, of performance testing. The sequence for the test and the length of time for each pattern can be selected. These sequences can be saved with a unique filename for future use, including e-mailing to multiple users so that all spans, even those in remote locations, are being tested with the same method.
The Modules and the Platform
The Tektronix NetTek analyzer platform is required for using NetTek modules and cards. The platform includes the display, power supply, CPU and battery compartments. Modules can be attached to the back of the platform and PC cards (such as the YBT1E1) can be inserted into the PC card slots on the platform. Up to three modules can be attached at once. A variety of modules and options allows you to tailor the instrument to service the standards and interfaces for use in your network.
The modular design also means that the instrument can easily be upgraded. New measurements or standards can be added with software upgrades or with additional modules.
