The Spirent T4200 is a highly advanced Tech-X Plus Field Tester designed to facilitate the installation and troubleshooting of next-generation broadband services such as xDSL, FTTx, and IP. With its integrated fault diagnostics and automation capabilities, this tester enables service providers to enhance service efficiency significantly. Equipped with versatile functionalities, the T4200 allows technicians to emulate various modem types including ADSL, ADSL 2, and ADSL 2+, offering graphical and downstream/upstream results.
The T4200 goes beyond basic testing, offering a range of features to ensure comprehensive verification and fault detection. It can verify high-speed internet services, detect faults using a resistive fault locator (RFL) and a 26 kft time domain reflectometer (TDR), and xDSL service pre-qualify pairs. One of the standout features of the T4200 is its expert IP, DSL, and copper diagnostics, which provide automated problem identification and suggest appropriate next steps. The tester includes a multimeter (DVOM) with large screen results and help menus for comprehensive copper fault analysis, enabling technicians to identify AC and DC faults accurately.
The T4200 incorporates wideband noise and loss tests for detecting and diagnosing various types of faults, facilitating the pre-qualification of the loop before deploying xDSL services. This tester is also well-suited for DSL service testing, modem emulation, and a range of ATM/IP testing such as Ping, TraceRoute, and Web Browser functionality to ensure proper functioning of device services. To streamline testing procedures, the T4200 features automated test scripts tailored to service-specific Methods and Procedures (M&Ps), providing a quick indication that all necessary measurements have been conducted and service levels have been met. Furthermore, the tester offers optimized data service, allowing storage of test results within the device, complete with timestamps, unique names, and other relevant information.
The T4200 finds application in various scenarios, including xDSL modem emulation, which aids in isolating network issues from in-house problems. It also excels in DSL expert diagnostics, IP video testing for simplified IPTV deployments, IP/ATM testing, and web browsing features that enable technicians to verify DNS operation. Additionally, the T4200 offers essential copper features such as a multimeter (DVOM), a time domain reflectometer, and a resistive fault locator (RFL). Wideband services testing, voice service installation to ensure adherence to service criteria after conditioning the copper pair, and an in-band controllable remote unit that simplifies wideband insertion loss measurements are other notable capabilities of this tester.
