Argus 42

ADSL Test Telephone

Product overview

Argus 42 is a practical, affordable and simple to use hand held tester for ADSL.

The Argus 42 automatically tests the quality of service within seconds, by receiving the connection rates and noise margins from the DSLAM.

The Argus 42 graphically displays the ASDL frequency spectrum together with important data such as: upstream/downstream bit rates, noise margins, relative capacity and attenuation.

The unit also enables the user to verify that the network wiring will carry ADSL services.

Access tests may be saved and documented using the supplied WINplus PC software.

The intuitive operation and automatic Quality of Service tests, ensure that the Argus 42 is a simple to use but powerful tool.

WINplus

The supplied WINplus PC software provides a simple & flexible method of producing access acceptance reports & allows test reports to be saved for future reference.
