Overview

The ARTISAN xDSL handheld tester is a powerful and comprehensive ADSL and VDSL Test solution. The AutoTest feature makes testing simple and keeps training needs to a minimum. Features such as 7” colour touchscreen, Web Browser, Histograms for monitoring longer term intermittent faults and industry leading Broadcom chipset puts the Vonaq ARTISAN xDSL Tester ahead of the pack.

The Vonaq ARTISAN xDSL handheld tester provides a full and holistic view to ADSL and VDSL2 service testing by focusing on the three important principles of operator efficiency:

  • The test should be easy to execute and understand by the operator
  • The test reports should be clear, easy to store and manage
  • The operator should have a clear workflow process to maximise their workload efficiency

Auto Test

Utilising the industry leading Broadcom chipset the ARTISAN xDSL is able to provide fast and accurate results for both ADSL and VDSL services. The configurable AutoTest script allows the operator to perform testing of ADSL and VDSL services in a repeatable and understandable way with clear Pass / Fail indications.

 

Auto Test keeps the test process simple and easy


Test Reports

Test Reports are automatically stored upon completion of the Auto Test ( covers xDSL Test, WAN Activation, Ping, HTTP, FTP tests). These Reports are stored in PDF or XML format for easy file management and viewing. These reports can be emailed to a central location or copied onto a USB memory stick according to the operators requirements.


Test Reports can be emailed or copied to USB


Operator Workflow

The operator can use the integrated diary / calendar to sync with their own Microsoft Exchange or Google calendar to check next appointments or close down a job. Alternatively, if the operator is already using a Web Based workflow management system this can be easily viewed on the device via the integrated web browser running on the 7” colour display.


Benefits

  • ADSL2+, VDSL2 and Ethernet Testing for traditional ADSL and new FTTX services.
  • Simple to Use, Press the AutoTest Icon, see the test run, View the Pass / Fail results
  • Easy To Manage the device, Test profiles and Results easily copied via USB or email
  • Easy to Manage your day, integrated email allows test results to be forwarded to a central location with no fuss, integrated calendar syncing allow appointment details to be viewed.
  • Already have your own web based workflow manager? No problem – the fully functional web browser allows the engineer to login, update and close jobs direct from the tester.
  • In case of Line noise problems the Noise Analysis graph identifies if there are any problems.
  • The Hlog ( Insertion Loss ) graph can be used to help identify bridged taps etc. by looking for dips or notches in the chart.
  • Using the industry leading Broadcom chipset, Artisan is ideal for testing against DSLAMs that support the extended functionality that Broadcom brings – ADSL Nitro Mode, PHyR and full Impulse Noise Protection ( INP 1- 26).
  • Need to run a long term test for those difficult and intermittent problems? No problem, the histogram feature allows long term tracking of HEC, FEC and CRC errors, Line Drops, Line Rate changes etc.
  • As users of a quality xDSL tester would expect, features such as SNR graph and Bits per Tone graph are provided.

  • Since the ARTISAN xDSL tester is using the Android operating system, we are also able to quickly work with operators to integrate your own applications and workflow processes.
