The AXS-200/620 is part of EXFO s core to access IPTV solution providing IPTV fault identification and analysis throughout the network. AXS-200/620 test locations in the access network.

4 Unmatched Flexibility Test In, Test Out Service providers are used to the test in, test out rule of troubleshooting. The AXS-200/620 takes this rule a step further by allowing technicians and engineers alike to test outside the customer premises over ADSL1/2/2+ or inside the customer premises over Ethernet to mitigate and remove performance issues. The AXS-200/620 can also conduct the same triple-play testing over ADSL1/2/2+ or Ethernet 10/100. This methodology ensures trouble spots are detected and dealt with accordingly and quickly. ADSL2+ Terminate Mode In ADSL2+ Terminate mode, the AXS-200/620 synchronizes with the DSLAM, allowing data analysis (ping, traceroute, HTTP/FTP speed test) and IPTV STB emulation for join/leave requests. VOICE ETHERNET DSLAM Assesses service delivery to the customer without gaining access to the customer premises DATA ADSL2+ Helps determine if the STB is faulty by issuing IGMP joins/leaves VIDEO Ensures the customer has the required bandwidth (downstream rates) Ensures the signal-to-noise ratio margin is acceptable AXS-200/620 in ADSL2+ Terminate Mode (STB Emulation) ADSL2+ Pass Through Mode In ADSL2+ Pass Through mode, the AXS-200/620 synchronizes with the DSLAM, allowing data analysis (ping, traceroute, HTTP/FTP speed test), Web surfing from a connected PC, IPTV STB emulation for join/leave requests, as well as VoIP analysis. Helps verify if the customer s modem/router is working correctly Ensures the STB is correctly negotiating with the middleware Assesses the quality of experience by monitoring IPTV joins/leaves, zap time, jitter and delay Ensures the bandwidth is sufficient for delivering triple-play services Ensures the signal-to-noise ratio margin is acceptable Assesses VoIP call flow, jitter, delay VOICE DATA VIDEO ETHERNET ADSL2+ AXS-200/620 in ADSL2+ Through Mode (DSL Modem Replacement) DSLAM

5 Ethernet Terminate Mode OLT In Ethernet Terminate Mode, the AXS-200/620 automatically synchronizes with 10/100Base-T ports inside the customer premises, allowing data analysis (ping, traceroute, HTTP/FTP speed test) and IPTV STB emulation for join/leave requests. In this configuration, the AXS-200/620 can be used in xdsl (FTTN), xpon (FTTH) or Ethernet-fed deployments.

6 Facilitating Troubleshooting Operations An Essential Tool for DSL Service Providers and Contractors The AXS-200/620 is the optimal tool for DSL service verification and triple-play testing. It helps telco and contractor personnel to quickly and easily identify the reason for DSL and triple-play deployment failure using automatic testing with customer-adjustable pass/fail criteria. In addition, network operators appreciate the AXS-200/620 as it eliminates the guesswork in hunting down DSL service faults or IPTV quality of experience issues that might otherwise tie up valuable staff and company resources a real CAPEX and OPEX saver. IPTV and Triple-Play Deployments For many telcos, the roll out of Internet services over ADSL1/2/2+ has gone quite smoothly. However, IPTV is another story. EXFO s AXS-200/620 offers comprehensive IPTV and VoIP testing over ADSL1/2/2+ but also over 10/100Base-T Ethernet to ensure the customer experience is excellent. From outside or inside the customer premises, the AXS-200/620 has you covered. Multilayer Fault Analysis The essence of the AXS-200/620 is to assist service providers in determining why the service is not working correctly. By analyzing the DSL physical layer, the technician can see whether the DSL data rates seen at the customer premises are high enough to support all three services making up triple-play: data, voice and video. If the rates are too low or the noise margin is questionable, there is likely something wrong with the local loop. Moving up the protocol stack, the AXS-200/620 provides ease of use and result interpretation for data services using measurement techniques such as ping, traceroute, HTTP and FTP speed testing. VoIP and IPTV applications are analyzed to determine if the problems lie at the customer premises, the local loop, the DSLAM or at the soft switch or video head-end respectively.
