One typical application is end-to-end or SONET ring turn-up. Remote T-BERD 310's can be positioned at critical nodes in the network. A single technician can then examine individual nodes on a DS3, SONET or ATM link simultaneously from a central location as the service is turned up. In addition, a technician equipped with a standard laptop computer and TTC's Distributed Test Manager(TM)(DTM DTM dermatophyte test medium. ) software can then configure and manipulate the test sets from any location. In addition to these applications, this remote capability serves as a cost-effective enhancement to any test strategy by maximizing the use of existing and new test equipment. Service response times and network turn-up times are reduced by the integration of these test sets. By allowing direct control of field test sets by centralized technicians, the integrated system also provides better support and training opportunities for new field technicians.
