Alcatel-Lucent 5530 Network Analyzer 7
Advanced and comprehensive
troubleshooting capability
The Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA
provides a wide array of testing
capabilities allowing you to detect,
diagnose and troubleshoot any and
all problems affecting customer lines.
It will allow you to check line state
information, perform line quality
diagnosis (in-depth line diagnosis,
including in-service and over-the-
time diagnosis results), and provide
you with tools for problem loca-
tion and specialized field technician
tools. Among the list of available
tests, some are non-intrusive and
can be executed while the service is
running, enabling the detection of
problems that would otherwise go
unnoticed. The Alcatel-Lucent 5530
NA also supports the newly released
Alcatel-Lucent Smart DSL designed
to protect lines from external noise.
Alcatel-Lucent Smart DSL will not
only stabilize lines, resulting in a
dramatic improvement to customer
quality of service, but will also stabi-
lize lines at a greater bit rate.
In sum, the Alcatel-Lucent 5530
NA lets you successfully resolve
line problems, quickly, simply and
cost-effectively.
Rationalizing your
testing architecture
Network evolution scenarios for
Class 5 switch replacement include
the implementation of POTS line
cards in the access node. This trans-
formation option can apply to access
nodes deployed in Central Offices
(COs), or to nodes deployed in out-
side plants (FTTN architecture).
The Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA will
help you to cope with network
evolution thanks to the support of
extended Narrowband Line Testing
capabilities. These include inward
POTS self-testing, as well as loop
and POTS terminal testing (voltage,
current, capacitance, ring tone, loop
back, etc.). By handling both DSL
and POTS testing from the Alcatel-
Lucent 5530 NA, you will be able to
rationalize your testing architecture.
