FOR TESTING ANY DSL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ON Performance Noise immunity Crosstalk stability and Remote Powering functionality KEY FEATURES : • Line Simulation up to 3 Mhz • 100% freely configurable lines • Based on the Active Analog Concept (AAC ® ) • Internal Line Libraries, Noise and Crosstalk generators LSX ADSL/HDSL/SDSL LINE PERFORMANCE TESTER AAC ® - A REVOLUTIONARY STEP IN TESTING ADSL-HDSL-SDSL Thanks to the innovative Active Analogue Concept (AAC ® ), it is possible to precisely reproduce any line distance and any line characteristic in the lab just the way it behaves in the field and this without changing the hardware. The LSX 2020 offers the ability to create lines of which all parameters can be configured in almost unlimited ways. This way developers and manufacturers of xDSL chipsets, modules or modems can easily create any possible line in order to fine tune their products while operators can select the best performing transmission system for their different lines. Lines can be simulated starting from standard libraries (ETSI, ANSI, Bellcore, ...) or by entering line parameters collected in the field. An additional key benefit is the ability to vary one parameter while holding all the other parameters constant. The LSX 2020 is bi-directional and simulates very accurately the delays, which occur in reality. Furthermore, NOISE and NEXT can be programmed via the built-in generators or via the inputs for external sources. Because of the fully configurable and programmable approach for any line setting, the LSX 2020 is the first line simulator which allows creating any test line in order to determine the maximum performance of a DSL transmission system.
