TTC introduces integrated DS0/DS1/DS3 remote testing in one centralized system.GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 1996-- New Module for TTC's CENTEST(TM) 650 Provides Complete Remote DCS-Based Testing TTC TTC Trying To Conceive TTC Toronto Transit Commission TTC Trans Texas Corridor TTC Toutes Taxes Comprises (French) TTC Trident Technical College (North Charleston, SC) TTC Temporary Traffic Control (TM) (Telecommunications Techniques Corp.), a Dynatech Company (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :DYTC), announces a new module for its CENTEST(TM) 650 Centralized Test System. The new Digital Test Unit (DTU DTU Technical University of Denmark DTU Data Transfer Unit DTU Data Transmission Unit DTU Direct To User DTU Data Terminal Unit DTU Dry Tree Unit (offshore oil and gas production) DTU Duval Teachers United ) Module adds DS0 testing capability to its existing DS1 and DS3 testing features. With DS0, DS1, and DS3 testing capabilities, the CENTEST 650 provides an economical single-shelf testing solution for service providers including local exchange carriers, interexchange carriers, alternative access providers, wireless providers, and utility telecommunications network providers. The CENTEST 650 is a centralized test system that remotely tests circuits accessed from a digital cross-connect system (DCS) or other network element. Typically accessed from a network control center, the CENTEST 650 allows the user to test services and facilities throughout a network during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. The architecture of the CENTEST 650 includes a Sun MicroSystems SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill (TM) processor, Ethernet interface, and a backplane capable of transferring signals at SONET rates. Up to 12 simultaneous users can perform as many as 30 tests from a single system, thereby reducing operating costs and dispatch expenses. Additionally, the CENTEST 650 allows circuits to be provisioned more quickly and customer trouble tickets to be closed more rapidly. With a single equipment shelf, the CENTEST 650 with DTU Module now tests through all popular narrowband (1/0), wideband (3/1), and broadband (3/3) DCSs, eliminating the need for DCS-specific test heads. The new DTU Module provides testing of VF and DDS (1) (Digital Data Storage) See DAT. (2) (Data Dictionary System) See QuickBuild and OpenDDS. (3) (Dataphone Digital S circuits accessed from a Test Access Digroup (TAD) on a narrowband (1/0) DCS. The DTU Module may also be configured via software to test full DS1 circuits, thus providing investment protection as the carrier's service mix migrates to higher speeds. The DTU Module is currently available for shipment. Price of the DS0 functionality is dependent on CENTEST 650 configuration. TTC(TM), a Dynatech Company (NASDAQ:DYTC), is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of test instruments, test systems and support services to help communications providers and users install and maintain successful networks. Known for its T-BERD T-BERD T-1 Bit Error Rate Detector T-BERD Time Bearing Elevation Range Doppler and FIREBERD(TM) analyzers and CENTEST(TM) Test Systems, TTC provides testing solutions for ATM, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , Frame Relay, Wireless, SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) The European counterpart to SONET.
