Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL has been designed to carry a high speed Internet connection over the existing twisted pair copper line used by the telephone system (POTS). This is being done by running a frequency band higher than the POTS band (20KHz – 2.2MHz) in order to obtain internet downstream access bandwidth up to 24Mbp/s.

During the process of installing it is necessary to test and verify that the existing copper pair is up to the job. Even more after installation has been done problems may still arise as many customers will upgrade their lines or add new services to their subscription. Many customers will be utilizing the new Triple-Play–Services on this line thus the ISP needs to have test equipment that very easily will help the engineer to test everything from commissioning the new ADSL installation all the way to troubleshooting the IPTV or VoIP service quality.


The CSA ADSL Triple Play Platform Interface Module (PIM) supports five modes of operation, Each mode has been tailored for fast and intuitive test operations via interaction with the large 7” touch screen.

This function measures the capacitance and converts the value into a distance. This is done by measuring the Open (capacitance) or Short (Resistance) and calculate the distance using the wire gauge, cable type and temperature.

Open/Short Meter

For an added convenience, the ADSL Triple Play PIM incorporates an auto-ranging Digital Voltage-Resistance Meter (DVRM) as a standard tool on PIM-11A/B-ADSLA/B for locating or identifying the correct wiring from MDF for modem installation. This is a significant aid to the field technician when qualifying the physical wiring characteristics of a copper loop. E.g. detecting a short/open or verifying the -48Vdc power feed on the ADSL with POTS loop.

With the optional PLM - Physical Loop Meter (Available on PIM-12A/B-ADSLA/B and PIM-13A/B-ADSLA/B) you increase the functionally test area for the ADSL Triple Play PIM with in-depth cooper fault analysis featuring.

In cases where you have high-resistance faults, they are often hard to identify with a TDR. AnaCise RFL analysis can be used to measure loop resistance, insulation resistance, and exact distance to the location of faults with RFL feature.

Kick Test will comes in handy for evaluting an active POTS loop with the results of battery voltage and resistance/distance to the Central office (C.O.).

Resistive Fault Locater (RFL)


With the CSA Modem Termination, test you can easily verify that the ADSL service is working by emulating the ATU-R modem at the customer premise or anywhere along the loop. You get information on current or max possible connection rate, signal noise margin, attenuation, Tx power and capacity as well as PSD analysis in Bit per tone, SNR per tone and SNRM per tone all presented in an easy to read graphics or tabular format that may be saved to a file. Finally you may run a set of comprehensive IP or ATM layer test to verify the service is up and performing as expected.

Information presented in the CIW has carefully been selected to assist the field engineer. For up and downstream, you get the link rate connected and the max.X link rate. With this information you also get the SNR margin which is an important parameter when observing an ADSL link, as SNR really gives you the picture whether or not this link will sustain the load in the long run.The information is accompanied with two big dials in dashboard style for easy reading.

Two LED signs have been implemented in order for the field engineer to keep an eye on link up thresholds. This is crucial information to the engineer when determining the link quality for installation and troubleshooting. Apart from the easy to use “Start” and “Stop” function keys on the CIW you also find some very useful Log information and Test Scheduling control keys. Those are functions that makes testing with the CSA a daily pleasure.

Control Information Window (CIW)Observe the upper centre part of CIW;, The green modem indicates the modem link is up and running without errors, Red modem points to link down and this will be accompanied by real time status LED information on the PIM. In the 2nd line you see the actual status for modem negotiation procedures followed by the time it took to get the link up which is extremely valuable when commissioning the line. Line 3 is the real time alarm/event information that will change constantly according to link behaviour.

Modem DMT Test


The CSA Triple Play PIM displays all important information about link quality from physical, DMT through ATM layer in single screen. This is yet another place where the CSA stands outperforms its competitors as those often takes at least 2-3 screens to display the same amount of information.All information is real time, and at the same time saving to the LOG with the test scheduled so the complete test history is secured.

All of BitMap/SNR/SNRM PSD analysis results are presented in both graphics or tabular format, with easy to use zoom in functions in the auto scaling display.

Complete Result Presented in Single Screen

Defining a scheduled test is a very easy and intuitive task, you simple enabling the test scheduled followed by the date/time to start and stop the test.

With the CSA you have up to 10 interval test results logged. This way you could send the CSA to a remote destination, have the instrument connected and just collect the results after the scheduling period. All results being saved to the log file on MMC for storage and printing.

Scheduling Test

The ADSL Triple Play PIM provides real time log information that will give you information as current number of retrains and line errors, CRC and FEC errors during scheduling test. CSA gives you the option of saving all this logged information just by a simply touch of the "Scheduler" button on the screen.

Event Log


The ATM test features auto-scanning VPI/VCI pairs together with OAM cell loop back test measurement on the link.

You will always know when everything is up and running properly with your CSA. If modem light is “Green” and “PPP” light is “Green” while the “Ping” light is blinking green, this is a positive indication of performing a PING test. Now you can focus 100% on this test without worrying if any of the lower layers is unstable or eventually not working. Again yet another place where the CSA stands out and excels.

With the CSA, AnaCise has taken the complete step and implemented a full WEB browser function. The CSA features a very comprehensive set of important test functions giving you detailed information about packet layer throughput in upstream and downstream of WEB server you are trying to access. When running this kind of test and the response time from the remote Web host tends to be slow, the question arises; where is the problem？ The CSA leads you in the right direction by presenting all details of Ethernet traffic information, and at the same time you have all alarm information present with indication for modem link up status.

Trace Route Test

Setting up e.g. a Trace Route test is very easy and intuitive as all configurable parameters are presented in the same screen. When running either PING or Trace Route, test you get very comprehensive information presented in the results screen. Including hop number, host name and IP address response time and status information for each hop.


Modem Pass Through test enables you to emulate/replace the ATU-R modem towards the DSLAM while time testing connectivity to the subscriber PC / Terminal Equipment. This way the engineer may verify that all protocols are working correctly and conduct performance tests towards ISP hosts and PC. The modem pass-through test provides you with all of Modem DMT quality information as well as extensive network layer and statistics, based on the traffic transported to the PC or Internet destination host.

The other important part of WEB testing is “seeing is believing”. Click on “BROWSER” and you are taken straight to the powerful Konqueror Web Browser compliance.


When the engineer is going to the customer site for troubleshooting or provisioning an ADSL line. He will often find the ATU-R and line to be in good condition, but the end user equipment having

Even with the expensive centralized Network Monitoring System (NMS), you are only able to perform remote log-in to the modem and get the actual SNR information in real time, as no SNR history is provided by any ATU-R manufacturer in the market place today. Thus the CSA puts you in front of your competition and truly helps you to reduce churn and optimize QoS.

problem. With the CSA, only one tool is needed as the CSA provides you with a full toolbox for CPE testing, all the way from providing the IP and DNS address to the client, testing FTP performance for both upload and download and HTTP Browsing.

The CSA ADSL Triple Play PIM features an all new test approach in which you may conduct SNR Trace to ATU-R Modem experience via Telnet. With this test, you now have the option of monitoring the actual customer QoS experience over a longer period of time.

Ethernet Termination

When executing the Modem Pass Through test, all important performance information is gathered in a single screen. You can verify the performance of the physical DMT link with real time alarm information as well. You get the actual throughput performance obtainable at the packet layer

including packets, bytes, unicast and broadcasts in last cycle or accumulated. These are the values the customer experiences in real life. Thus this test gives you the necessary information needed in order to evaluate if the link will sustain the load of the new Triple-Play application.

Apart from standard interface information provided like, speed, active information and link LED indications, the CIW also gives comprehensive information on the Ethernet interface in terms of packets, utilization, error frames and CRC statistics on both uplink and downlink.


The CSA can be configured as a FTP client. FTP client testing is very useful when establishing a baseline towards either an ISP FTP server or a FTP server on the enterprise customer premises for an overall throughput and downstream performance evaluation with Ethernet traffic statistics.
