Acterna HST-3000
Handheld Outside Plant Tester
Improving the installation,
qualification, and verification of
T1 services
Reduced budgets, smaller workforces,
and untrained technicians can limit a
carrier’s ability to promptly provision
T1 service. Overcoming these obstacles requires resources that facilitate
the efficient and rapid deployment of
T1 services regardless of whether the
T1 line uses traditional repeaters,
HDSL, HDSL2, or HDSL2 4-wire circuits.
Technicians use the HST-3000 copper
test features to qualify and troubleshoot the circuit, and the T1 test
features to bit-error-rate test (BERT) the
line and verify the service. With the
VT100 emulation feature, the HST3000 provides instant access to
HDSL/HDSL2 performance statistics.
There is no need for technicians to
switch instruments; the HST-3000
combines all the tests into one tool
with one common interface.

test instrument that tests the copper,
tests the service, and improves the
process. Rugged, versatile, and
portable, it is the ideal instrument for
testing copper circuits and T1 services.
Specifically designed for the outside
plant, the HST-3000 can be built to
order and quickly and easily upgraded
with new modules as application and
technology needs change.
The HST-3000’s custom scripting feature automates the testing process,
ensuring that tests are done completely and thoroughly every time. The
instrument’s automation functions
help reduce repeat rates and failures
by ensuring that the processes used to
test are consistent. With the HST-3000,
technicians can complete faster service
turn-ups, reduce failure rates, and

Test the copper
Testing the physical layer to predict a
loop’s ability to support T1 service is a
critical, time-consuming process.
Delayed installation, circuit failures,
or future service quality problems can
occur if testing is not performed
correctly and thoroughly every time.
Other features include tip-to-ring
capacitance measurements and a load
coil counter. The capacitance feature
measures the loop length to ensure the
total loop length is within CSA requirements. The load coil counter detects
the location and number of load coils
on the span.
The HST-3000 copper features enable
construction technicians to quickly
troubleshoot the local loop for faults
and conditions that degrade the
T1 service. With the HST-3000,
technicians quickly and accurately
identify and locate cable impairments:
shorts, grounds, opens, crosses,
splits, bridged taps, wet sections, and
other high resistive faults. These
measurements are easy to access with
the HST-3000’s advanced time domain
reflectometer (TDR), precision digital
volt/ohm meter (DVOM), and an accurate resistive fault analyzer/resistive
fault locator (RFA/RFL).
These copper features make the
HST-3000 the optimal instrument for
performing tests anywhere on the local
loop, including the main distribution
frame (MDF), crossbox, aerial splice
case, manhole splice canister, or other
access points to locate the source of
trouble. (See figure 1.)
With a push of a button, a five-point
closeout test (consisting of loop
current, circuit loss, power influence,
circuit noise, and longitudinal balance)
is run automatically. A good pair check
comparison between the test results
and (stored) preset values is graphically
displayed, informing technicians
immediately if the line quality is pass,
fail, or marginal for T1 service.
(See figures 3 and 4.)
With all of the necessary copper test
functions and advanced features
combined into one tool, the precise
location of any copper impairment is
easily and quickly detected.
The HST-3000 is also able to perform
wideband transmission impairment
measurement set (WB TIMS) loss
measurements at predefined and
user-selectable tones within a range of
10 kHz to 1.2 MHz. The instrument’s
WB TIMS meter ensures proper signal
levels at equipment inputs for T1,
HDSL, HDSL2, HDSL2 4-wire, BRI (basic
rate interface), and DDS (digital data
service) circuits.

Test the service
Beginning with the construction of the
circuit and throughout the life cycle of
the service, operators must verify that
customers are receiving the quality
they ordered. After qualifying the
copper and before handing the circuit
over to an installation and maintenance crew, a technician must run a
bit-error-rate test (BERT) to prequalify
the circuit to ensure that it will run T1
service error free.
To verify proper T1 transmission over a
traditional repeatered T1 or an HDSL
circuit, a technician needs to supply
power to the span at the MDF and test
the entire span from the central office
to the customer premises. A true
end-to-end service test requires
stressing the span and verifying the
error tolerance of the copper plant and
network equipment. (See figure 2.)
The HST-3000 T1 features include a
full-span dual T1 transmitter and
receiver that identifies marginal
troubles with all the standard T1 stress
patterns at various output levels.
Automatic configuration and results
with summary functions immediately
identify the presence of T1 pulses,
pattern, framing, and error status.
The HST-3000 also can qualify T1
spans with automated MULTIPAT TM
and BRIDGTAPTM stress patterns in
addition to inserting bit errors, frame
errors, and BPVs. Technicians, with a
push of a button, can use MULTIPATTM
to run customized BERTs with specified
durations and patterns.
Preprogrammed HTU-C, HTU-R,
doubler, T1 CSU, T1 NIU, and repeater
loopcodes enable the HST-3000 to
quickly sectionalize transmission
problems. In addition, Pairgain,

Through the test instrument’s VT100
emulation feature, technicians can
access HDSL and T1 network equipment for equipment configuration,
specific performance data measurements, and loop up capabilities,
without having to carry a PC or laptop
into the field. With Acterna’s repeater
extender, technicians also can gain
access to the circuit at T1 repeaters.
The test set also can emulate T1
customer premises equipment,
simulating a CSU or NIU. CSU/NIU
emulation allows the test set to be
looped up from the central office to
verify T1 service across the entire
length of the span.

The HST-3000 performs fractional T1
(FT1) BER tests on selected channels to
verify transmission on contiguous and
noncontiguous FT1 bandwidth. This
allows the technician to verify circuit
performance with VF and 577 Hz ID
tones at various output levels. In
addition, the HST-3000 uses a variety
of advanced stress patterns such as 55
octet, T1-DALY, and other long user
patterns as recommended by the ANSI
T1.403 standard to stress repeatered
T1/FT1 circuits.
With its enhanced T1 features and
functions, the HST-3000 is the ideal
test instrument for technicians to
troubleshoot and qualify the line
swiftly and effortlessly.
figure 3 Close out test
Improve the process
Maintaining a high percentage of T1
turn-ups means ensuring that testing
is consistent and accurate. The
HST-3000’s automated functions help
reduce repeat rates and failures by
ensuring that the processes used to
test circuits in the local loop are
consistent.
With preprogrammed tests and customized scripts, every technician
follows the same procedures, thereby
eliminating mistakes caused by
improper configurations or incorrect
testing methods. For example, the
HST-3000’s standard five-point close
out test automatically measures current, loss, noise, power influence, and
balance. (See figure 3.)
It also is essential to properly verify
that the parameters and thresholds of
all technologies, including the newer
HDSL2 and HDSL2 4-wire, are within
the operator’s specifications. An
automated test script from the menudriven GUI enables a good pair check to
measure AC/DC volts, resistance, and
opens. Results from these measurements are compared to predetermined
parameters and known good
thresholds. These results determine
whether a circuit passes, fails, or is
marginal. (See figure 4.)
By verifying the digital quality of a
copper line before service is commissioned, operators avoid repeat truck
rolls and poor service once customers
are online. And technicians who use
the HST-3000, with all of its advanced
features and functions, are able to perform more tests with greater accuracy;
a powerful advantage in an industry
focused on improving productivity and
lowering costs.
