The Exfo AXS-200/800 Series is a multilayer access test set for installation and maintenance of legacy TDM/ISDN and Ethernet networks. Operating as a single handheld unit, it delivers comprehensive testing across physical, data link, and network layers without module swaps. The series validates service-level agreements, supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 deployments, and combines field durability with an intuitive interface designed to minimize interpretation errors.
Technical Specifications
The AXS-200/805 and AXS-200/855 models provide dual Tx/Rx DS1 and E1 interfaces with DS3 and ISDN PRI capabilities. The AXS-200/850 delivers Ethernet functionality without dual Tx/Rx DS1 support. All models include comprehensive Ethernet testing and RFC 2544 benchmarking conformance.
– Key Features
• Multilayer testing across DS1, E1, DS3, and ISDN PRI (select models)
• Simultaneous bidirectional RFC 2544 benchmarking: throughput, latency, back-to-back, and frame loss measurement
• Multistream traffic generation with intelligent autodiscovery for end-to-end validation
• QoS monitoring: packet jitter, latency, throughput, sequencing, and frame loss with pass/fail indicators
• IPv4 and IPv6 traffic generation and analysis (AXS-200/855)
• Physical-layer testing including fiber access link validation
• Wiremap testing: continuity, MDI/MDIX compatibility, distance to fault, propagation delay, and skew per IEEE 802.3
• Transflective graphical color display with fast pass/fail results
• Simultaneous three-test execution capability (AXS-200/855)
• Weather-resistant, compact design for harsh field deployment
– Typical Applications
• Legacy TDM/ISDN circuit validation and troubleshooting
• Ethernet service provisioning and SLA verification
• Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 network deployments
• Access network installation and commissioning
• Service provider maintenance operations
– Compatibility & Integration
Unified software package supports migration between legacy and technologies without hardware reconfiguration.
