A new test set from 3M helps service providers ensure that they can deliver enhanced telecommunications services such as fast Internet, data access and videoconferencing. The portable, low-cost 3M Dynatel qualification test set 950ADSL provides a simple, low-cost solution for POTS testing and verification of ADSL modem connectivity at customer locations.

Using the set, technicians can conduct POTS autotest (including loss, noise, power-influence, longitudinal balance, voltage, loop-current and ground-resistance tests) which can be stored and uploaded to a computer. The Dynatel test set also provides ADSL modem linkup and essential performance measurements, such as connect rates, error statistics and bin-graphs, as well as the ability to ping to an ISP. ADSL test results can be saved and viewed in the unit or uploaded to a computer.

The portable, handheld test set weighs less than 2.5 pounds and is housed in a durable case for rugged field conditions.
