1 MTTplus Modular Test Platform The new MTTplus Modular Test Platform addresses the challenges of communication service providers to increase efficiency and productivity. The flexible test platform lowers operational and capital expenditures associated with handling multiple technologies required to address today s Access, Business, Carrier Ethernet, Transport and Core services. The new MTTplus platform builds on the legacy of the legendary MTT, providing a cost-effective, modular test toolkit for today s wide ranging and evolving test needs. DSL is in the DNA for MTTplus, which supports business class SHDSL, residential VDSL2/ADSL2+, as well as the latest Vectoring and G.fast technologies that are enabling Service Providers to continue offering competitive services over their copper networks. MTTplus also addresses the growing need of fiber test tools for the evolving hybrid FTTx / copper networks. Telcos can equip their field force with a test toolkit ranging from XDSL technologies as well as for FTTX installation tools such as an Optical Power Meter and Fiber Inspection Scope. Platform Highlights Modern, modular test platform with a growing range of available test modules covering Access, Carrier Ethernet and Transport technologies 7 Touch Screen LCD GUI familiarity across different test modules and other VeEX products reduces learning curve Future-proof CapEx friendly platform Test set connectivity via USB, Ethernet, or WiFi USB Host Port Fast and efficient test result transfer to USB memory stick Built-in GPS Built-in Camera WiFi verification is becoming an inherent part of the installation process. The optional WiFi adapter and WiFi Spectrum Analyzer tools enable not only connectivity testing but also signal strength and interferer analysis.

2 MTTplus Platform Fiber Optic Tools PLATFORM Compatibility with Existing MTT Test Modules Adds backward compatibility with popular MTT test modules Assures easy transition and protects previous investment (requires Carrier Module) Durable and Field Upgradeable Platform One compact, light weight, and rugged forward-looking design LCD Display 7 inch (175 mm) LCD with touch screen LED backlight for durability, extended battery life, and crisp image Interfaces Ethernet USB 2.0 Bluetooth 2.0 (optional) MicroUSB TOG port Productivity Tools Web Browser File Manager Digital Fiber Inspection Scope Dirty connectors can damage or degrade the performance of expensive optical modules, or produce inaccurate results. Inspecting and cleaning patch cords and pluggable optics connectors before mating them is always recommended. This option allows popular digital video microscope probe models* to be connected directly to the MTTplus through a USB 2.0 port. Featuring live video feed on the screen for visual analysis. It offers capture, compare (before and after), IEC Sect 5.4 Pass/Fail templates for SMF and MMF, save and export files to USB flash drives. Visual Inspection* Per IEC Visual file selector SMF and MMF templates (Core, Cladding, Adhesive and Contact areas) Auto-scale reference dots Manual PASS/FAIL verdict Report Generation *Not included. Check with factory for supported models Optical Power Meter GUI** Supports USB OPM dongles The optional OPM helps checking for proper output power from optical ports before safely making an optical connection or running a test Numerical and bar graph readings Hold function Display Units: dbm, mw and μw User definable Maximum and Minimum power limits, with color-coded Pass/Fail indication Optical Loss Meter function with zero reference calibration Loss limit settable in db, db/km and db/mi ** For available Wavelength Range, Calibrated Wavelengths, Power Range, Accuracy and Connectors, refer to the USB dongle specs 2

3 Network Troubleshooting Tools IP Tools Provides basic Internet connectivity to the test set with Ping and Trace Route Net Wiz Network Discovery Tool Discovery: TX Frames, RX Frames, RX Errors, Advertised Speed, Advertised Duplex, Devices found, Networks found Devices: Total number, Routers, Servers, Hosts Device Details: Attribute, IP address, MAC address, Group Name, Machine Name, Ping OK Networks: IP Subnets, Hosts, Domains, Hosts Names Wi-Fi Wiz The Wi-Fi Wiz function with USB WiFi adapter for a/b/g/n wireless in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands makes troubleshooting Wi- Fi connectivity issues a simple task. Scan for available networks and view all access points detailed information along with SSID, signal strength and channel allocation. Connect to Access Points with WEP/WPA or WPA2 encryption and verify IP capabilities to ensure the wireless network is properly installed and configured. A full suite of IP testing features is supported (ping, trace, web browser, etc.). Requires compatible USB WiFi adapter for a/b/g/n networks in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands Access Points scan with signal level and link quality measurement WEP/WPA1/WPA2 encryption IP Connectivity test (Ping, trace route, ARPWiz, Web browser) Provides Wi-Fi LAN access to the test set (e.g. VeExpress, R-Server, Remote Control, ReVeal) FEATURES WiFi Spectrum Analyzer* The MTTplus offers a powerful portable spectrum analyzer on a USB dongle that displays all RF activity in the WiFi bands. With dual 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands support, the analyzer covers all a/b/g/n networks and is the ideal tool for enterprise environments with a mix of wireless technologies. With multiple graphical format displays it helps to visualize and locate RF signals in the spectrums as well as locate and eliminate interference sources (cordless phones, microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices,etc.), discover and remedy competing access points. Supports a/b/g/n Frequency Range: to GHz and to GHz Amplitude Range: -100 to -6.5 dbm Antenna: RP-SMA Planar, topographic, spectral view *Requires Wi-Fi Spectrum Analyzer USB dongle Bluetooth Option* Supports compatible USB Bluetooth dongle for file transfers to PC and mobile devices and to provide IP connectivity * Requires compatible Bluetooth USB dongle *Not included 3

4 SHDSL Module SPECIFICATIONS Results are presented upon achieving synchronization (Data Mode) with the far end SHDSL equipment. SHDSL is ideal for business class services, enterprise networks, and industrial communications that must rely on legacy copper based networks where fiber remains cost prohibitive. Utilizing SHDSL s multiple pair bonding application enables robust data transmission over long copper lines. MTTplus SHDSL Test Module provides CPE installation, CO emulation pre-qualification, and IP/ATM services testing capabilities for service installation and verification. The module is based on the industry leading Lantiq SOCRATES chipset, offering best-in-class SHDSL performance and interoperability. Key Features CPE Emulation for standard SHDSL and SHDSL.bis Standards SHDSL.bis line rates: Symmetrical 5.7 Mbps per pair Extended line rates up by utilizing higher TC PAM line coding Key DSL metrics including Data Rate, SNR Margin, and line errors EFM and ATM support SHDSL/EFM mode for Ethernet based services, offering higher data rates and superior reach for Enterprise and Industrial applications Legacy 4-Wire SHDSL/ATM Standard and Enhanced Modes EFM Bonding and ATM Bonding up to Four Pairs CO Emulation for line prequalification using real SHDSL signals Based on the industry leading Lantiq SOCRATES 4e SHDSL Chipset ATM Functions As long as ATM remains the main transport technology for DSL networks, technicians will be required to test this layer. OAM loopback cells can be used to verify end-to-end connectivity while a segmented OAM ping test can quickly isolate problem locations. Events Events mode not only logs and displays a time stamped sequence of the DSL modem to DSLAM connection process, but also records modem retrains due to link failures, micro-interruptions and other aberrations. At a mere glance, the technician can quickly identify whether the modem is training successfully and whether or not showtime was achieved in a timely manner. Comprehensive SHDSL support A wide range of SHDSL based applications, from single pair ATM SHDSL to 4-Pair EFM bonding, are supported. Test Setup is streamlined and simplified within one Setup screen. 4
