Simplifying ADSL2+ Triple-Play Testing
EXFO’s AXS-200/620 ADSL2+ Triple-Play Test Set offers a quick, yet thorough method for deploying triple-play services—ADSL1/2/2+and Ethernet-based data, VoIP and IPTV testing—facilitated by pass/fail-driven automated tests.
In addition to validating connectivity to the DSLAM, the AXS-200/620 provides upstream and downstream parameters such as actualdata rates, attenuation and noise margin. What’s more, it delivers advanced IPTV measurements—packet jitter, packet loss, PCR jitter,MDI, PID viewer and IGMP zap time—both in Terminate (stand-alone) and Through mode operation. The AXS-200/620 also monitorsresidential VoIP call flow and statistics, facilitating VoIP QoS assurance.

Unmatched Flexibility
Test In, Test OutService providers are used to the “test in, test out” rule of troubleshooting. The AXS-200/620 takes this rule a step further by allowingtechnicians and engineers alike to test outside the customer premises over ADSL1/2/2+ or inside the customer premises over Ethernetto mitigate and remove performance issues. The AXS-200/620 can also conduct the same triple-play testing over ADSL1/2/2+ orEthernet 10/100. This methodology ensures trouble spots are detected and dealt with accordingly and quickly.
ADSL2+ Terminate Mode
In ADSL2+ Terminate mode, the AXS-200/620 synchronizeswith the DSLAM, allowing data analysis (ping, traceroute,HTTP/FTP speed test) and IPTV STB emulation for join/leaverequests.
Assesses service delivery to the customer without gainingaccess to the customer premises
Helps determine if the STB is faulty by issuing IGMPjoins/leaves
Ensures the customer has the required bandwidth(downstream rates)
Ensures the signal-to-noise ratio margin is acceptable
ADSL2+ Pass Through Mode
In ADSL2+ Pass Through mode, the AXS-200/620synchronizes with the DSLAM, allowing data analysis (ping,traceroute, HTTP/FTP speed test), Web surfing from aconnected PC, IPTV STB emulation for join/leave requests, as well as VoIP analysis.
Helps verify if the customer’s modem/router is workingcorrectly
Ensures the STB is correctly negotiating with themiddleware
Assesses the quality of experience by monitoring IPTVjoins/leaves, zap time, jitter and delay
Ensures the bandwidth is sufficient for delivering triple-play services
Ensures the signal-to-noise ratio margin is acceptable
Assesses VoIP call flow, jitter, delay

Facilitating Troubleshooting Operations
An Essential Tool for DSL Service Providers and ContractorsThe AXS-200/620 is the optimal tool for DSL service verification and triple-play testing. It helps telco and contractor personnel to quicklyand easily identify the reason for DSL and triple-play deployment failure using automatic testing with customer-adjustable pass/fail criteria.In addition, network operators appreciate the AXS-200/620 as it eliminates the guesswork in hunting down DSL service faults or IPTVquality of experience issues that might otherwise tie up valuable staff and company resources—a real CAPEX and OPEX saver.
IPTV and Triple-Play DeploymentsFor many telcos, the roll out of Internet services over ADSL1/2/2+ has gone quite smoothly. However, IPTV is another story. EXFO’s AXS-200/620 offers comprehensive IPTV and VoIP testing over ADSL1/2/2+ but also over 10/100Base-T Ethernet to ensure thecustomer experience is excellent. From outside or inside the customer premises, the AXS-200/620 has you covered.
Multilayer Fault AnalysisThe essence of the AXS-200/620 is to assist service providers in determining why the service is not working correctly. By analyzing theDSL physical layer, the technician can see whether the DSL data rates seen at the customer premises are high enough to support allthree services making up triple-play: data, voice and video. If the rates are too low or the noise margin is questionable, there is likelysomething wrong with the local loop.
Moving up the protocol stack, the AXS-200/620 provides ease of use and result interpretation for data services using measurementtechniques such as ping, traceroute, HTTP and FTP speed testing. VoIP and IPTV applications are analyzed to determine if the problemslie at the customer premises, the local loop, the DSLAM or at the soft switch or video head-end respectively.
