The Test Set increases the productivity of field staff, and reduces the costs of testing

Automatic remote controlled operation means that ONE field technician can now perform tests in a fraction of the time which previously required two technicians

Automated test results mean significant reductions in paper work, recording and administration, and are free from misinterpretation or human error

Complete cable performance data eliminates the need for retesting as xDSL services are upgraded or as new services are deployed in the future

The ability to completely characterise each cable pair and detect marginal faults which otherwise lead to repeat service calls and customer dissatisfaction

The Test Set can replace a range of normal test instruments, thereby allowing Service Providers to reduce the inventory and costs of test equipment

In less than four minutes, a single user can completely characterise the performance of a cable pair for the whole range of vf and digital services with a single comprehensive test sequence carried out automatically

The user can navigate through groups of tests and individual tests with simple key sequences and menu prompts

No calculations or instrument skills are required to obtain the test results. NETLINK 430 looks after these automatically

A single operator can trace cable pairs, perform end-to-end cable tests and then, at the end of the testing, reconnect the customer’s service by remote control

The user can select individual tests for specific fault-finding, or perform all tests automatically for complete characterisation of the cable pair

The NETLINK 430 has non-volatile memory to store commonly used test preferences, and test results for subsequent retrieval and analysis

Test results are displayed in a simple and unambiguous format which is easy to interpret

Integral battery charger and rechargeable batteries provide economical use and extended field operation (typically one month between recharging)

Automatic self-calibration eliminates long-term drift and the need for field adjustments

The NETLINK 430 is supplied with a rugged carry case, complete with user guide and accessories including: line test leads, universal mains adaptor, and dc vehicle lead for battery recharging, and PC software utility.
