1 Introduction

When fully equipped, the ARGUS supports a comprehensive range of test functions for not
only BRI accesses and POTS, but also for U-interface, E1/PRI, ADSL, VDSL, SHDSL and
Ethernet accesses. This manual covers the optional E1/PRI interface.

In addition to TE/NT simulation on a PRI interface, the ARGUS also supports D-channel
monitoring on PRI accesses. 

Furthermore, it supports tests of digital leased lines including bit error rate tests (BERT) in
the D-channel. The MegaBERT expands the bandwidth to 2 Mbit/s - to either 2048 kbit/s
(framed) or 1984 kbit/s in time slots 1-31 (2 Mbit unframed). Last but not least, the ARGUS
can run a BERT to a remote loopbox or perform an end-to-end measurement to another
ARGUS. 
