Organisations engineers to work on any class of ISDN network with the same tool. Even users of ISDN AuroraSonata The evolution of ISDN testing services can use the AuroraSonata to ensure that the services are as expected and as an arbitration tool in the event of dispute between different suppliers in their ISDN The design of the AuroraSonata makes it ideal for all applications and conditions that installation and maintenance engineers in the field can experience. This modular approach means that you can configure today for today’s needs, and know the tester will develop for tomorrow’s. Its software is field upgradable, and new interfaces can be added locally. Much thought has gone into the actual operating requirements of the tester. The need to have ease-of use has been a major consideration to make the whole testing process quick and simple. The logically constructed menus for configuration and operation are supplemented by single key selections for commonly needed functions, and the pre-configured test suites for service tests definitely save time. The unit’s size and design means that virtually any location where it is possible to install ISDN equipment is accessible to an engineer with an environment. What are the key testing applications?

The unique ‘One Button simulate on the Basic Rate ‘S/T’ Test Suites’ can verify B-Channel or ‘U’ reference points allowing a Provisioning, Line Quality, full combination of TE, NT and Teleservice and Supplementary LT modes including EOC Service availability. Primary Rate loopback commands and on the simulation offers, in addition, full Primary Rate interface in TE or and outgoing channel tests. signalling on the PRI ‘T’ and on Basic Rate ‘S/T’ and ‘U’ Reference Points, allowing you to trouble- shoot in-service ISDN lines anywhere on the network. D-Channel decode is displayed on screen in real-time and can be saved in memory or downloaded to the NT mode, either directly on the AuroraExpert for Windows exchange or at customer package for detailed analysis.
