At CeBIT 2007 intec Gesellschaft für Informationstechnik mbH
presents three new handheld testers in the lower price range, which
combine a wide range of functions with exceptionally convenient
operation: The ADSL and ISDN combi-tester ARGUS 42, the ISDN tester
ARGUS 3u plus and the ADSL tester ARGUS 41 plus.

The ARGUS 42 - ADSL1/2/2+ and ISDN combi-tester

The ARGUS 42, ADSL combi-tester supports an extensive range of
measurement functions for ADSL, ADSL2 as well as ADSL2+ accesses. As
an option, it also offers internal support for the measurement of not
only BRI and U-interface accesses but POTS accesses as well. The
ARGUS 42 measures among others the maximum ADSL data rate and line
parameters such as the signal-to-noise ratio and the up and
downstream attenuation.

As an option, the ARGUS 42 is also available with an ATM-IP
package, which supports both Internet connections via PPP and IP
ping. Furthermore, the ARGUS 42 also offers support for RC
measurements (capacitance and resistance measurements). Thanks to the
intuitive, easily understood menu system, which permits among other
things easy configuration and the storage of various profiles, the
new ARGUS is simple to operate. A headset can be easily connected to
the tester via a standard phone plug.

The ARGUS 3u plus - ISDN tester

With its test functions for ISDN BRI and U-interface accesses and
its support for operation as a POTS terminal or POTS monitor, the
ARGUS 3u plus offers a number of convincing arguments. Furthermore,
it not only supports an automatic access test, service checks and
supplementary service tests, it can also perform physical
measurements with evaluations and bit error rate measurements. As an
option, the ARGUS 3u plus can also perform cabling tests. Other
functions include: an HF test that can distinguish between the ADSL
and U-interface frequencies, automatic detection of a connected
headset as well as an integrated mini-splitter that prevents
interference from ADSL frequencies.

The ARGUS 41 plus - the entry-level ADSL1/2/2+ tester

The ARGUS 41 plus is an uncomplicated handheld tester for
performing measurements on ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ accesses. It
measures the voltages on the access and based on these measurements
can determine the cause of a variety of faults: for example, external
voltages, connections with open circuits, faulty cabling, problems in
the access line or the splitter or faulty synchronisation with the
DSLAM. Furthermore, these voltage measurements also enable the ARGUS
to determine the type of access under test, i.e. POTS or ISDN. The
result of the ADSL measurement, for example the downstream rate, is
shown in clear text on the display. The ARGUS 41 plus also supports
an IP ping function.
