Tektronix K1103

Siemens Protocal Tester

Features & Benefits

Customized Signaling Analyses of CCS#7, GSM, CDMA, ISDN D-Channel, X.25, V5.1, V5.2, PHI

• Monitoring of up to Eight Signaling Channels on Four PCM Links
• For PCM30, PCM24 and V./X. (V.24, V.35, X.21)
• Simple Operation as with a PC with MS-DOS and Windows
• Programmed Applications for Fast Problem Analysis

Applications

• The Protocol Tester K1103 has been developed for network supervision and network analysis of CCS#7, GSM, CDMA, ISDN D-channel, X.25 and V5.x protocols. A maximum of four different PCM links (T1/S_2M) or V./X. links with up to eight signaling links (64 kbit/s, 56 kbit/s, 16 kbit/s) can be supervised simultaneously.
• The Protocol Tester K1103 features a Windows 3.11 based user interface.
• Analysis of the different layers of the communications protocols can be performed online or offline. The auto-restart mechanism enables long-term measurements to be carried out, e.g., following a power failure. User-specific prepared measurement tools for supporting measurements in the field are also supplied. Automatic evaluation of these measurements, alphanumerically and/or in graphics form, is performed by a special statistics program package. A storage capacity of 2.5 MB in the main memory and 500 MB on the hard disk is available for recording the measurement data. A floppy disk drive can additionally be used for recording measured data.

Design

The Protocol Tester K1103 consists of a PC card with 8 MB RAM, a 540 MB hard disk and a 1.44 MB floppy disk. A TFT color display, which can be read without impairment even under bad lighting conditions, is used as the display. Graphics control is by means of a VGA card.

The keyboard can, if necessary, be removed from the tester in order to enable more comfortable working. MS-DOS 6.2 is used as the operating system.

Line activities are displayed on LEDs on the front of the instrument.

The actual measuring hardware employs obsolescence-proof technology. The processing power, for example, is increased by using transputers.

A serial interface for remote control, a printer interface (serial/parallel), as well as a VGA interface for external monitors, are available.

Special Features

The K1103 features particularly easy handling. This comprises:

• Putting the test hardware and software into service
• Connecting to the PCM links (S_2M/T1) or V./X. links
• Protocol detection
• Link selection
