1. Introduction
1.1 General
Bercut-MMT Analyzer is a measurement device designed on the basis of a
modular platform. It supports measurements in different segments of modern
multi-technology telecommunication networks.
The analyzer’s modular design provides its user with virtually unlimited
testing and measuring capabilities for both traditional interface parameters
and for working out long term diagnostics solutions for the communication
network.
Figure 1.1 presents an external view of the device.

The Bercut-MMT device consists of the system unit and two pluggable
modules (cards

), that provide an interface to such testing objects as PCM
E1 streams, data transmission interfaces (Datacom) or Gigabit Ethernet.
The System Unit provides for the basic device functionality, i.e.: control
of Bercut-MMT platform components, an interface to peripheral devices,
power supply monitoring, a user interface and specialized computation, states
and measurement modes indication.
