Introduction

The introduction chapter contains brief description of how this guide is structured and explains the symbols and conventions used.

1.1

Basic Instrument

The CMA 3000 is a battery-powered multipurpose telecommunications test instrument for field use. The CMA 3000 is a tool for a wide range of applications from fast first aid troubleshooting to comprehensive, depth analysis of transmission problems. With the optional modules in-stalled the CMA 3000 will turn from a full-featured transmission line qual-ity tester into an advanced signaling analyzer.

The basic CMA 3000, with its two 2 Mbps receivers and transmitters, supports framed and unframed testing and monitoring of 2 Mbps sys-tems. The instrument is thus ideal for both in-service and out-of-service transmission-quality measurement. For fast troubleshooting, the CMA 3000 displays alarms and transmission link status on LED indica-tors. The instrument's two inputs permit immediate monitoring of the two sides of a line and allow comparison of simultaneously recorded results. With options added the CMA 3000 tests a large variety of interfaces and systems, like SDH interfaces, frame relay lines and the A-bis interface of GSM/GPRS networks. Yet other options turn the CMA 3000 into a very powerful signaling analyzer for GSM/GPRS/EDGE, SS7 and ISDN pro-tocols.

Results are easily read from the large color LCD display, where the colors and graphical symbols facilitate interpretation. Together with the touch screen operation, this makes the CMA 3000 very user-friendly in opera-tion. The CMA 3000 can automatically configure to the received signal, eliminating time-consuming instrument set-up. Set-ups supporting partic-ular applications may be stored in the instrument. The instrument has the following interface for data transfer and external communication: LAN in-terface and two USB ports.

Fault location is greatly facilitated by the high degree of portability of the robust CMA 3000, allowing measurements to be taken at any suitable measuring point. The instrument is powered by rechargeable and re-placeable intelligent high-capacity LiIon batteries. The CMA 3000 can also be powered via an external mains adapter for long-term measure-ments.
