Let’s learn more about AEM’s NSA tool from a high-level and why its Certi-Lite feature puts the “+” in Qualification+.
The Network Service Assistant (NSA) is a hybrid test solution that bridges the divide between qualification and certification. It features Certi-Lite technology, which follows the ANSI/TIA 1152-A single-ended testing for many of the same parameters used in bi-directional certification. This technology offers a deeper level of cable testing beyond just a simple wire map.
It has won many awards for innovation, making it the perfect solution for those who want to take their cable testing to the next level. Upgrade your testing capabilities with the Network Service Assistant (NSA) and its revolutionary Certi-Lite technology.
AEM now offers an ODTR function, by using the AD-OTDR-MM and AD-OTDR-SM adapters, designed to seamlessly connect to the NSA’s platform, providing users with enhanced troubleshooting functionality and Tier-2 certification capability. With these test adapters, technicians in the field can quickly locate broken fibres or identify loss events that lead to optical loss test failures and fix optical network issues using the ODTR feature.
Single-ended ANSI/TIA 1152-A complaint RF testing involving the measurement of complex cable parameters such as Return Loss, NEXT, Insertion Loss, ACRF, length, delay, shield discontinuity, and graphical TDR analysis of faults.
Singlemode and Multimode loopback testing ensures cable quality, and includes report of all supported network speeds based on cable performance. Integrated VFL identifies cable breaks. Fibre scope identifies debris or scratches that could affect cable quality. Measures DC Resistance in Hybrid powered fibre.
All PoE standards, which include 802.3 af/at/bt and UPOE are supported for reporting of PSE configuration and full load testing with reporting of Current/Wattage/Voltage. In addition, it also allows for sustained loading of the PoE source over longer periods to identify hard to find intermittent power drops, through external loads.
NSA is capable of validating a link to ensure Ethernet can be supported at 1/2/5/5/10GBASE-T. It can perform SNR measurements while under traffic and PoE load, ensuring confidence that a cabling link will support the desired network rate.
NSA can connect to a live Ethernet network through the 10/100/1000 network interface connector, or via WiFi (Edimax EW-7822ULC Wi-Fi USB adapter required). Once connected, NSA will auto-discover connected devices on the network. You can Ping any other device to verify connectivity with traceroute and measure latency.
NSA can auto-discover all 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi SSIDs and their associated RSSI values (received power level). This is helpful in discovering Wi-Fi “dead zones” and checking Wi-Fi connectivity with optional Edimax EW-7822ULC Wi-Fi USB Adapter.
All NSA’s come with a full 2-year warranty from date of purchase – proof of our confidence in the quality and reliability of our instruments.
