Description:
The T-STAR 1096A is a lightweight, battery-operated test set optimized for monitoring, testing, and troubleshooting T1 span lines, channel banks, trunk circuits, digital switches and SLC*96/Series 5 systems. It includes T1 line, DS1 bit error performance; and 2-way drop/insert, signaling, supervision, dialing and transmission testing capabilities.

The test set is menu-driven and operated from a simple keyboard with push-button controls grouped  functionally in an easy-to-use arrangement. The operator simply presses a Monitor (in-service) or a Test (out-of-service or drop/insert) key and patches to the circuit under test. Related test setups, framing and line code synchronization occur automatically, with test data appearing on screen immediately.

A data memory facility in the T-STAR includes an Event Logging function to record test results and alarm events over selected time periods. Timed-test results can be reviewed on screen or transferred to a printer for a hardcopy record.
