HP J2904B ISDN BRI S/T Simulation/BERT Module

The HPJ2904B adds ISDN S/T testing to the HP Internet Advisor for fully integrated monitoring simulation, call placement, and BERT solutions. Basic rate ISDN S/T problems can be quickly isolated.

HP Internet Advisor supports 14 different ISDN switch and country variants; extensive decodes on the user data channel allow LAN interconnect problems to be solved quickly.

With the Internet Advisor comes extensive triggering, filtering and searching which allow you to view only the information that is important to the problem at hand. Problems are solved quickly using Internet Advisor's many pre-written tests and its intuitive user-interface. Verify the integrity of the link to carry data with complete BERT testing. Check network connectivity with pre-written simulation tests. Unattended remote control allows network experts to remain at a central site rather than travel to a remote location to solve tough network problems, saving time and money.
