ITO/xDSL Theory of Operation

The ITO Throughput test refers to these two units as the local and remote units and the xDSL Throughput test refers to these two units as the subscriber-end unit (ATU-

R)and the central office unit (ATU-C), respectively. Both options are double-ended tests of bandwidth which require two Fluke OneTouch Series II units to execute the test. Figure 7-1 shows the relationship between the local unit (ATU-R unit, for xDSL) and the remote unit (ATU-C unit, for xDSL).

For the ITO Throughput test both units must have software version 4.50, or later. Only the local unit must have the ITO option enabled.

For the xDSL Throughput test, the central office unit (ATU-C) must have software version 4.50 or later but the

Note

For the best operation, it is recommended that you update all of your Network Assistants’ xDSL software version 4.50, or later.

For the ITO Throughput test, a second, unattended Network Assistant (the remote unit) is used as a remote traffic source. For the xDSL Throughput test, a second, unattended Network Assistant (the ATU-C unit) is used as

aremote traffic source. The subscriber-end unit (ATU-R for xDSL) is used to configure the test, execute the test, and display the test results.
