TTC introduces TR-303 analysis for the FIREBERD 500 Internetwork Analyzer.GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 17, 1996--TTC (Telecommunications Techniques Corp.) announces a TR-303 analysis option for the FIREBERD 500 Internetwork Analyzer. TR-303 (TR-NWT-000303) is a standard interface for Integrated Digital Loop Carrier In telephone communications, a technology that increases the number of channels in the local loop by converting analog signals to digital and multiplexing them back to the end office. (IDLC) systems. It specifies the interface between the Integrated Digital Terminal (IDT) of a Central Office (CO) Local Digital Switch (LDS LDs See: Liquidated damages ) and the Remote Digital Terminal In telecommunications, a Remote Digital Terminal (RDT) typically accepts E1, T1 or OC-3 digital lines to communicate with a telephone Access network (AN) or telephone exchange (LDS) on one side, and forms a Local Exchange (LE) on the other, which is connected to Plain Old Telephone (RDT RDT 1. Renal dialysis treatment 2. Retinal damage threshold ). TR-303 handles call processing and operations for an IDLC system. Call processing functions include time-slot (DS0) setup, signaling, and supervision. Operations functions include provisioning, performance monitoring, and alarm reporting. The FIREBERD 500 with the TR-303 option allows the user to decode the Timeslot Management Channel (TMC), the Common Signaling Channel (CSC) and the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC). With the FIREBERD 500's Windows-based user interface, the user can verify the call type, DS1 and DS0 bearer numbers, and the call reference value. The test instrument also permits the user to accomplish call tracing, monitor call duration, verify call setup timing, and compare physical and protocol layers for problems. The TR-303 option also allows the FIREBERD 500 to conduct dual port analysis of circuit and path protection switching. The instrument also includes terminal emulation allowing the user to perform testing and configure switches simultaneously. The TTC FIREBERD 500 Internetwork Analyzer is a portable, Windows-based, modular test instrument. Some of its analysis capabilities include ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , T1/2M BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) An analysis of network transmission efficiency that computes the percentage of bits received in error from the total number sent. testing, frame relay, CDPD, simultaneous LAN/WAN LAN/WAN Local Area Network/Wide Area Network analysis and now TR-303. The TR-303 option to the FIREBERD 500 costs $995 and is currently available for shipping. TTC, a Dynatech Company (DYTC), designs manufactures and markets communications test products and systems. Known for its line of T-BERD T-BERD T-1 Bit Error Rate Detector T-BERD Time Bearing Elevation Range Doppler and FIREBERD analyzers, TTC develops internetwork analyzers, multi-function communications analyzers, T-Carrier test instruments, E-Carrier test instruments, SONET analyzers, network test systems, and fiber optic test equipment.
