Single Tests

Bit error rate test

BERT start

Enter the phone number

Select service

Select a B-channel

The ARGUS - Main menu






The speed-dialing memory will now open 
(see page 339). Dial your own number to 
perform the BERT in an extended call to 
oneself (two B-channels) Dial a remote 
number for a BERT to a loopbox (one B-
channel) or end-to-end.

Using the cursor keys, select the service 
which should be used for the BERT.

Enter the B-channel on the keypad (first 
press 

<Del.>

). If you enter an *, the 

ARGUS will choose any B-channel that is 
free.

BERT start

The ARGUS display after the connection 
has been setup and synchronized in both 
the send and receive directions:

Scroll through the speed-dialing 
memory.

-

the bit pattern and B-channel / bit rate 
used

-

the synchronicity of the bit pattern (in 
this example, synchronous)

-

Sync.time in h:min:sec 
(The time in which the ARGUS can sync 
to the bit pattern)

-

LOS counter: shows the absolute 
number of synchronization losses.

Synchronization is lost  when at the 
error rate is greater than or equal to 
20% within a period of a second. 

-

The number of bit errors that have 
occurred
