Phoenix Microsystems 5575 T1 Micro-BERT Test Set

The Phoenix Model 5575 T1 Micro Bert is a full function T-carrier line tester designed for use on 1.544 Mbps T-carrier links. The removable top cover serves as the storage area for the interface cables. A two line by forty column LCD display, 14 status/alarm LED indicators, and a 24-key keyboard with internal status LEDs on each key, provide the operator with a full function, easy to use tester, in a small, portable package.

Design Highlights:

  • One button full testing with automatic line evaluation and setup
  • Portable, handheld, battery powered
  • Tests D4 framed, extended superframe, SLC(r)96 framing, or unframed links
  • Direct connection to TelCo "T" interface
  • CSU emulation mode
  • Generates and receives 12 test patterns plus user defined pattern
  • Network ALBO and LBO
  • Complete self-test functions
  • Operates from internal battery, line power using adapter, or local central office battery
  • Real time clock (time, day, date)
  • Full remote control RS-232 port
  • Twenty column printer port via a second RS-232 port

Input Specifications:

Input Connectors: WECO 310 jack and 15-pin, D-shell network interface connector.
Input Frequency: 1544000 Hz +/- 300 Hz
Line Codes: AMI or B8ZS (B8ZS is available in framed modes only.)
Input Impedance:
   Bridge: Greater than 1000 ohms
   Term: 100 ohms +/- 5%
   Monitor: 100 ohms +/- 5%
   CSU: 100 ohms +/- 5%
Operating Range:
   Bridge: +6 dbdsx to -20 dbdsx, Automatic Line Build Out (ALBO), compensates for cable loss
   Term and CSU: +6 dbdsx to -20 dbdsx, Automatic Line Build Out (ALBO), compensates for cable loss
   Monitor: +6 dbdsx to -6 dbdsx, ALBO provided with fixed +20 db amplifier to compensate to DSX monitor series impedance losses.
Transmit Mode: The transmitter is disabled and completely isolated from the output jacks in the Bridge and Monitor mode. This allows the 5575 to utilize the Tx jack as a secondary receiver to measure voltage, frequency, and loop timing of both sides of the span for in-service specifications.

Output Specifications:

Line Build Out (LBO): Switch selectable with 0, -7.5, and -15 db attenuation.
Output Connectors: Provided on WECO 310 jacks and 15-pin D-shell network interface connector.
Internal Oscillator Frequency: 1544000 Hz +/- 5 ppm
Line Codes: AMI or B8ZS
Pulse Shape: Complies with AT&T Pub. 62411 and CCITT Recommendation G.703 when terminated in 100 ohms and 0 db line build out selected.
Jitter: Complies with AT&T Pub. 62411

Front Panel Indicators Specifications:

Alarm Indicators: Frame Sync Loss, All Ones (Blue Alarm), Density (excess zeros and insufficient ones), and Yellow Alarm.
Status Indicators: Frequency Deviation, Line Level Fault, Not Loop Timed, Low Battery, Signal Present
Sync Indicators: Pattern sync, D4 frame sync, ESF sync, and SLC(r)96
Coding Indicators: AMI and B8ZS

Alarm Criteria Specifications:

Pattern Sync Loss: Programmable from 0-9999 bit errors in 0-9999 bits. Factory setting is 100 bit errors in 1000 or fewer bits.
Frame Sync Loss:
   D4: 2 out of 5 Ft. bits in error
   ESF: 2 out of 5 Ft. bits in error
   SLC(r)96: 2 out of 5 Ft. bits in error
