Aurora Presto adds new functions

@ Functionality

xDSL is a multilayer technology that relies on each individual layer operating both correctly and efficiently. Aurora Presto provides a complete test solution for each layer.

Physical Layer test, it is important that load coils and copper faults like split pairs, bridged taps, open circuits, grounds etc. that may be acceptable for the POTS service but not for the xDSL service, are identified and corrected. Aurora Presto provides both TDR and DMM functionality to enable effective fault finding at the physical layer.
ADSL, G.SHDSL installation, by means of full modem or router replacement, Aurora Presto simplifies testing by synchronizing with the DSLAM and providing comprehensive line statistics to identify faults and measure the DSL performance.
ATM verification, to establish the performance the BER measurement should be made at the ATM layer to get a complete picture of the DSL installation. Aurora Presto also verifies the ATM circuits with the F5 OAM loop-back cells step-by-step until the RAS , the first IP server. ATMF 25.6 BER and statistics are available when using the ATMF 25.6 interface.
IP and PPP test, experience has demonstrated that in order to verify the application layers an IP ping test does not fully test the connections. Aurora Presto also provides trace route facilities with LAN/WAN statistics together with IP testing.
PPP is supported over Ethernet and ATM, including authentication capabilities.

@ Features and Benefits

Aurora Presto is a powerful multilayer solution that combines a "one button" auto test mode for first line technicians and an advanced manual analysis for senior engineers and support technicians.

multilayer tester: Aurora Presto does the work of four separate testers: physical layer tester, xDSL tester, ATM tester and IP/PPP tester
Seamless "soft-switching" between co-resident functions means no module swapping
flexible design: protects future investments
standard downloads: enables results and analysis to be transferred to a PC for use with editors & spreadsheets
TDR/DMM functions with load coil detection
"golden modem" and 'golden router': enables full in-line DSL modem or router replacement providing comprehensive DSL statistics, alarms and trace events, ATM statistics, F5 OAM supported and advanced IP test capabilities
ATU-C emulation: enables testing from the local exchange and reduces field deployments
DSL tracer operation: gives timestamped information on G.994.1 hs, EOC and alarm events
Bi-directional ATM BERT: enables full ATM layer quality analysis
F5 OAM ping: verifies end-to-end ATM connectivity
PPP support: over Ethernet or ATM allows authentication with the BRAS

@ Applications

Depending on the type of test you perform, you can test one or more of the following:

ADSL equipment and lines

G.SHDSL equipment and lines

the route through the network via ATM switches and DSL equipment

the integrity of a link and the Quality of Service

the availability and operation of DSL services

application layer throughout via the IP / PPP protocol layers

@ Market segmentation

Potential customers for Aurora Presto are all those organizations whose business is based on xDSL roll-out and maintenance.

Specific applications:

Loop qualification, by means of TDR and DMM to identify copper faults.
Service installation, experience has demonstrated that diagnosis based on PC and modem solutions is definitely unsuitable for installation because it only verifies the installation if a full IP path has been established between the PC and the ISP. It is important to verify the DSLAM, ATM switches, PPP servers as well as IP routers.
Maintenance, once the service is deployed, operators need cost-effective tools to verify the service and the SLA.
