

The ARGUS 3u ISDN access tester series features all-round tester 
for many several tests at different interfaces like BRI, U or  POTS*.
In addition to the net* (NT) and the terminal (TE) simulation you have 
the opportunity to test  leased lines. Furthermore a complete D-
channel monitoring* at the BRI interface is possible (Argus 3u 

). 



The TE mode (at the U and POTS* interface) is complemented by a 
POTS monitoring and a U interface leased line test function*. 
ARGUS tester feature a handy size design and a high  functionality, 
which simplifies the handling of our devices and makes life for 
intallers more comfortable. 
All other impairments of the local loop will bedetected by the cabling 
test* or the copper cable testing function*.
Via the software extension “ARGUS WINanalyse*“ you are able to 
decode measurements of the BRI-D-channel-monitoring*.

• BRI interface in accordance with CCITT I.420 
• Operation modes: (TE and NT is possible with one cable )

- TE (terminal silmuation)
- NT (net simulation)*
- Monitor* (passive overplugging at BRI bus with data saving on   

PC)

• Automatic detection of configuration access and protocol: 

- Point-to-point (P-P) or point-to-multipoint (P-MP)
- DSS1 or no protocols
- further protocols: Cornet-T / N / NQ , QSIG, X.25, VN4
- Display of 1-2-3 and B-channel status

• Display of 1 Infos (Info 0 - Info 4)
• Layer  1 Master- and Slave-mode
• Automated test scenarios for access verification and saving the 

data in device to create an access test report*

• Automatic service test: determines which ISDN services are 

available on the send and receive side of the access 

• Automatic test of the supplementary services

- for  DSS1: autom. tests of CLIP, CLIR, COLP, COLR, HOLD, 

TP, CFU, CFB, CFNR, Gebühren A/B (AOC-D/E), CCBS, 
CCNR, CW, MCID, ECT, 3PTY, DDI, SUB, UUS,
