-
- New York Telephone Central District has begun a service improvement
- program utilizing Micro Computer System's 105A Remote Test Unit. This
- equipment, which is primarily a 77 Analyzer with enhanced features, is
- mounted in the central office of the NNXs to be tested.
-
- The 105A RTU is capable of testing all working and non/working pairs
- originating from the CO. The working POTS lines are accessed through
- the test train of the switch. The non-working pairs are accessed at
- the MDF with an optional 100 pair portable shoe switch. Single pair
- access is available through our MLT 1 dialup or by means of the single
- pair shoe clip at the MDF. Remote switches and subscriber loops on
- the F2 side of pair gain devices can be tested with an optional 107A
- RTU located at the remote location.
-
- The unit is programmable and can do sequential NLT and LDT scans
- unattended. Demand test can be performed virtually simultaneously
- with the scan tests and all test results can be printed to screen,
- disk or printer. In addition all tests can be saved in a number of
- different formats. Communication with the equipment is performed
- through a dumb terminal, a test station or a PC with MODEM.
-
- I would like to hear from any groups or individuals that have had
- experience with this equipment. I would especially welcome detailed
- comments on any successes (or failures) utilizing the 105.
-
- (These comments and observations are my own and I represent no one
- other than myself).
-
-
- Thank you.
