GENERAL INFORMATION This document provides the user with operating information for the TS ® 1000 ADSL Test Set manufactured by Harris Corporation, Camarillo, California. DESCRIPTION The TS1000 is a portable handheld device designed to be used primarily by outside plant personnel; however, anyone installing ADSL will benefit from this easy to use test set. The TS1000 is powered by four “AA” alkaline batteries.
RJ-45 Interface Up w0n4 994268 D : RMeasuxBlt /R:: 7799004% 98% BCRaaptaec: 10 Backlight LCD Display Power ON/OFF Buttons Backlight ON/OFF Button Arrow Keys RS232 DB-9 Interface ts1000_001 Figure 1. Physical Characteristics Keypad Controls and Indicators Keypad Backlight: The ON/OFF button located on the upper left hand side of the unit is used to toggle the backlight of the LCD display on or off. The backlight is initially in the OFF position.
RS232 DB-9: Used to update software or firmware. Use a standard off the shelf NULL modem cable for the procedure. See “Updating Firmware/Software” for additional information. Do not use the RS232 DB-9 port if the unit is connected to the ADSL circuit. Battery The TS1000 battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. The alkaline AA batteries can be purchased anywhere batteries are sold. The batteries will allow power for approximately 300 tests when operated at room temperature.
DC ADSL MODEM ATU-R TELEPHONE NID PEDESTAL ATUC ts1000_002 POTS SWITCH CROSS BOX SPLITTER DSLAM CENTRAL OFFICE Figure 2. Connecting to a Line Using the RJ-45 to dual telco clip and the RJ-11 Cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the TS1000. The telco clips and RJ11 connector can be attached to the line at this time. Connect the red telco clip to RING and the black telco clip to TIP. Turn the TS1000 on and ensure the cursor (*) is at the “Run Test” Option. Press the right arrow key to begin testing.
If you are testing after the POTS splitter at the customer premises, you will need to address a different connection configuration. The POTS splitter is used to separate the ADSL signal from the POTS signal. Before the POTS splitter (toward the ATU-C), the combined ADSL/POTS signal is carried over pins 4 and 5 for 8 pin connections or pins 3 and 4 for 6 pin connections.
The following information will be displayed. Appl. Ver. 1.30 Modem Ver. 3.6. 70 Press MainMenu ts1000_005 Appl. Ver.: Displays the current software version of the TS1000. Modem Ver.: Displays the Alcatel firmware currently running on the TS1000. Press the left arrow key to return to the Main Menu. Configurating Tests The TS1000 is designed to enable a user to configure their unit to their specific testing needs and does not restrict the user to one test type only.
3. Moving the cursor (*) beside each option, the user can modify the amount of time that the TS1000 tries to negotiate with an ATU-C (Negotiated) and the amount of time that the TS1000 remains synchronized with the ATU-C (Connected). There are some parameters, such as Noise Margin and Attenuation that are updated every 10 seconds. The range of values for the Negotiated time can be set from 20 seconds to 100 seconds in 20 second increments.
Main Menu B: 90% *Run Test Run G.LITE Press to start ts1000_009 3. Press the right arrow button to start the test. The TS1000 will attempt to negotiate with the ATU-C. If an ATU-C cannot be found, the test will time out. The length of time that the TS1000 will try to negotiate with the ATU-C is based upon the time set under the Setup option for Negotiated Time. Please refer to the Configuring Tests section for additional information.
There is a possibility to have one more screen appear on the TS1000 after the Op.Mode: result. This is entirely dependent upon whether or not the ATU-C has been provisioned to provide information such as Vendor ID or Provider code. By pressing the down arrow key one more time, this last screen can be displayed, if applicable. If the Op.Mode: is ANSI, then the following information is presented. Vendor ID: Press 0x22 to save ts1000_011 If the Op.Mode is either G.DMT or G.
Capac: Displays the capacity of the line. This is the ratio of achieved bit rate (B/Rate or IntB/R) over the maximum attainable bit rate. Results are presented as a percentage (%).The value for capacity should be reasonably high (greater than 90%). A low value could mean that there is noise on the line. IntB/R: Displays the achieved interleaved bit rate. Results are presented in kbits/s. The measured values for upstream and downstream should be greater than minimum bit rate set in the ATU-C.
ITU rev.#: Displays the ITU Standard revision number. This result will only appear if the manufacturer’s ATU-C supports this feature. Care must be taken when interpreting results since many factors must be considered. These include time of day, effect of impulse noise, ATU-C setup parameters. See section on Error Messages should an error message occur. Once the TS1000 received all the results from the Alcatel compatible ATU-C, the unit will release the line by sending a “Dying Gasp” command to the ATU-C.
*Send to PC Send to Printer Save in Memory Press to send ts1000_014 The user can then choose from three options: Send to PC, Send to Printer or Save in Memory. An explanation of each is given below. 1. Send to PC: The TS1000 can send data to a PC via a NULL modem cable. The user must use a PC based terminal program to accept the data from the TS1000 when this function is per-formed.
3. Save in Memory This function saves the results of up to 12 tests. Move the cursor (*) to the Save in Memory position and press the right arrow key on the TS1000. The user must select which of the 12 positions the results should be saved to, using the up and down arrow keys to navigate the cursor (*) through memory. *Send to PC Send to Printer Save in Memory Press to save ts1000_015 Each memory location number is followed by three characters, either “res” or “Emp”.
Viewing Saved Data The TS1000 is able to save up to 12 results. To recall any of the saved data, move the cursor (*) to the View Results option of the Main Menu. Main Menu B: 90% Setup *View Results Press to view ts1000_018 Press the right arrow key to enter. Select Result # Res#01 Res#03 *Res#02 Press to view ts1000_019 Using the up and down arrow keys, place the cursor(*) beside the desired result. Press the right arrow key to view. .
the NULL modem cable. If the connection is successful, a status bar will indicate the progress of the download. Once com-pleted, the TS1000 will reset itself and invoke the updated soft- ware. From this point you may continue testing or power off the unit. Inserting/Replacing Batteries The TS1000 uses standard off-the-shelf "AA" sized alkaline batteries. It is recommended you replace the batteries once the Battery Indicator on the LCD display shows 10%. 1.
WARRANTY Harris warrants that the TS1000 Test Set shall be free of any defects in parts or workmanship, for a period of 18 months and the line cord for a period of 12 months from the date of manufacture, if used under Harris operating specifications.
