E1 and n x 64k BERT with Autoconfigure and G.821, G.826 and M.2100
testing
Easy to Use
The EDT-135 has been designed with the user in mind. As well
as being lightweight and comfortable to hold and carry, all
testers feature large LCD screens with integral backlight for the
most demanding testing environments. If you wish to self-support the tester, the integral two-position backstand/carry handle
can easily be folded out, and can also be configured to suspend
the instrument for hands-free viewing.
Instrument Applications
Autoconfigure
The Autoconfigure feature greatly simplifies instrument set-up.
A test can be started on framed or unframed traffic using just 2
key-presses. For a framed signal, the instrument can determine
the framing type, timeslot allocation and test pattern type.
E1 Service Turn-up
Availability and performance of an E1 link can be established
using either an intrusive or a non-intrusive test. The EDT-135
can be connected via 75W/120W connectors using Hi-Z termination or at a protected monitor point. A typical simple E1 test
will take no longer than 30 seconds, the OK screen quickly indicates when an E1 service is present and error-free.
G.826/M.2100 test sequences can then be run, and the results
displayed, stored and printed.
Gelbrich Synchronization
The patented Gelbrich Synchronization method enables
synchronization on a test pattern to be maintained and accurate
BER measurement to be made even in the presence of rapid
bursts of errors. It also enables differentiation to be made
between bit slips and bit errors.
Programmable Timers
The instrument can be programmed to start a test at a specified
date and time for a selectable duration.
Remote Operation
The instrument is compatible with the DTM-32 remote operation solution.
Battery/Mains Operation
8-10 hour battery life using rechargeable and exchangeable batteries. Long duration testing can be achieved with a.c. mains
power.
Results Monitor
Error histograms can be indicated as a histogram on a scale of
up to 60 days.
Histograms
E1 Service Troubleshooting
An extended bit error test will determine whether a periodic
fault is causing problems. Electrical equipment such as airconditioning may cause problems at regular times in the day.
Error histograms make it possible to identify external events
which can be isolated as causes of the problem.
Excessive jitter can result in bit errors, loss of frame synchronization or similar faults. Where these faults exist, jitter measurements can be performed to determine if jitter is the cause,
and also to discover at which point in the system the jitter reaches unacceptable levels.
Service Turn-up
HCM* Testing (HCM Option)
If high jitter levels are isolated to the outputs of particular network elements, these elements can be taken out of service and
further tested by injecting jitter at a known level and testing the
jitter on the output (jitter transfer).
Jitter testing, Level Measurement and Pulse Shape Analysis
options can be ordered for the EDT-135.

Accessories
V.11 Cable Test Adapter
This accessory detects a number of common faults on V.11
cables, which due to the nature of balanced line interfaces would
otherwise go unnoticed.
Equipment Cases
A range of equipment cases and shoulder-bags is available to
allow convenient transport and storage of the EDT-135 and
accessories.
DTM-32 Features
The DTM-32 product offers Remote Operation using an onscreen faceplate, via an easy to use WindowsTM interface.
