Software Management

Front Panel

The front panel provides complete and easy control of all items that can be configured through menu-
guided options. The front panel LCD also displays the status of operation and performance reports for the
unit. A complete discussion of the operation of the front panel is found in Chapter 3. The menu options are
found in Chapters 4 through 7.

T-Watch Pro Management Software Program

T-Watch Pro is the ADTRAN management software program that allows the user to control the TSU LT
from a PC. It provides complete control over the configuration of the TSU LT using a graphic interface.
The T-Watch Pro program displays the same status and performance data as the front panel LCD. This
data is displayed as tables and graphs.
The T-Watch Pro program has the following capabilities:
• A modem interface permits dialing into a remote TSU LT location to configure the unit, read the unit's
status, or check its performance.
• The performance data read from the units can be exported to a file which is compatible with common
spread sheet programs.

Testing

The TSU LT offers three forms of testing:
• Self-test
• Loopback tests
• Pattern generation and check
