The SmartClass IW-1000 handheld service meter enables verification of internal
wiring at the customer premises for proper operation of voice, video, and data
services. The IW-1000 is used to test the coax and twisted pair wiring inside the
home, in multiple dwelling units (MDUs), and in small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs), providing an easy-to-use, accurate, and economical measurement tool for service technicians installing or troubleshooting triple-play services
over existing or new networks.
The IW-1000 includes a unique set of features to completely qualify the physical
media used to deliver triple-play services throughout the site. The Coax Map
feature and the Noise Immunity Test can be used to assess quality and
troubleshooting issues in a coax network. The Active ID can delineate multiple
runs of coax in the building even through coaxial splitters. The integrated wiring
tools can also be used to qualify twisted pair, including Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e, and
Cat6 cables. The IW-1000 saves time and effort in verifying and troubleshooting
inside wiring problems before the subscriber notices them.
The IW-1000 also includes a unique feature set for testing Ethernet data networks in residential and SMB locations. An optional 802.11b/g wireless feature
can be added to ensure correct WiFi functionality in and around the subscriber
locations.
Additional features include a fully functional built-in butt-set, which can be used
to test POTS voice delivery along with wiring identification and toning to locate
and identify cables.
Combined with an easy-to-use menu structure, the features of the IW-1000
represent the best all-in-one service and wiring tester available.

Coaxial Cable Testing
Coax is gaining popularity as the medium of choice for transferring
communications in and around customer premises. Whether the technology is
broadcast or IP video, data over coax technologies, or whole-home digital video
recorder (DVR) services, the IW-1000 can ensure that the inside coaxial plant
is properly connected. The IW-1000 also helps technicians detect and eliminate
unwanted coaxial elements such as hidden splitters, bad barrels, and damaged
cables.
Coax Map
The Coax Map test lets technicians locate and
troubleshoot problematic segment of coaxial cable
The Coax Map feature of the IW-1000 is a single-ended coax physical layer test
based on frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), a powerful technique used in
analyzing RF transmission lines. The Coax Map test measures signal quality as it
passes through the transmission line by identifying impairments that cause
standing waves.
Coax Active Identification
The IW-1000 helps technicians quickly identify which cable goes to which room
in a house. Using the Cable ID mode, technicians can determine coax wire
endings for each room with a coax run. A common problem occurs when an
unexpected splitter exists in the middle of the coax run. However, the Active IDs
of the IW-1000 work through splitters to display multiple IDs, which helps to
locate the wall outlet or outlets that are connected via a splitter network.
Cable ID mode with Active IDs lets technicians
identify connections for each segment of coaxial
cable
The NIT helps users locate isolation issues in coax
cable to identify which legs contain faults that could
allow ingress into the coax network
Noise Immunity Test
The Noise Immunity Test (NIT) provides good indications of coaxial cable
shielding issues. Problems arise when the inside coax has staples, sheared
jacketing, an exposed stinger, or an unterminated end present. The NIT gives
technicians a better chance of catching impairments before subscribers
experience service degradation. The NIT measures the signal strength of local FM
carriers and compares them to the same measurement on the cable to determine
the isolation of the coax to off-air ingress.

Twisted Pair Testing
The IW-1000 provides a suite of twisted pair measurements to ensure the correct
connections and wiring of POTS and Ethernet cables.
Twisted Pair Wire Mapping
The Twisted Pair Wire Map provides details about the cable length, distance to
opens and shorts, skew, and the connection mapping of each wire when used with
the SmartRemote. This information lets technicians quickly locate improper wire
connections and the presence of physical layer issues. The IW-1000 can map
twisted pairs on Ethernet, Cat5/6, or phone wiring, straight, or Cat3.
Twisted Pair Wire Map helps technicians find impairments and incorrect wiring in phone and Ethernet
cables
Loop Length
The Loop Length test is an open capacitance test that calculates the length of the
twisted pair cable. Intended more for lengthy twisted pair runs the Loop Length
test lets technicians easily verify cable run lengths.
Loop Length test measures the length of unterminated twisted pair cables
The built-in butt-set allows techs to verify and
troubleshoot POTS voice issues
Butt-Set
The IW-1000 has a built-in butt-set with speaker phone that helps technicians
quickly verify voice communications and troubleshoot POTS issues. The results
indicate voltage and current on the line as well as the number dialed and the
status of the POTS line. Technicians can store a list of frequently called numbers
for easy dialing. The butt-set provides call waiting and displays the caller ID for
incoming calls. The speaker phone lets technicians listen for dial tone or voice and
talk during calls without a separate headset.

Ethernet
The SmartClass IW-1000 includes a suite of Ethernet connectivity tests.
Port Discovery
The Port discovery test displays the established link rate on the Ethernet
connection between the IW-1000 and a router. It also displays the available rates
and the signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of each active twisted pair. This information
helps technicians pinpoint connection issues between the customer premises
equipment (CPE) devices and the premises router.
Ping mode lets technicians verify connectivity around
and outside the customer premises
Ping
Ping tests let technicians verify network connectivity to a particular IP or URL
address. They can also verify that a particular location is capable of reaching either
the Internet or a specific server on the network, which lets technicians avoid using
customer equipment or a laptop to perform simple connectivity tests.
Hub Flash
The Hub Flash test is an additional Ethernet test available on the IW-1000
intended for locations with multiple Ethernet connections running to a central
device. The Hub Flash will cause the port light to flash on the hub/switch/router
indicating that the SmartClass is connected. This simple identification method
lets technicians quickly determine which port is connected to a particular run.

Wireless 802.11b/g
The IW-1000 provides optional WiFi wireless 802.11b/g testing capabilities to
show the secure set identification (SSID), configured channel, 802.11 modulation,
mode, and signal strength at the test location of each wireless 802.11b/g network
in the area. It also indicates whether the network is secure or vulnerable to
security threats. This capability lets technicians properly set up the subscriber’s
network and troubleshoot wireless connectivity or issues with web-surfing speed.
Wireless 802.11b/g test lets users verify that the
subscriber’s wireless network will work at a particular
location or troubleshoot wireless 802.11b/g
connectivity issues
Volt/Ohm Measurement
The IW-1000 will indicate the presence of voltages on a line prior to connecting
sensitive CPE devices. Measurements can be performed on either coax or twisted
pair and indicates the presence of AC or DC voltages. The IW-1000 also has a
quick ohm measurement test that can be used to verify opens, shorts, or
resistances between 100 W and 400 kW, which eliminates the need for technicians
to carry separate tools to perform quick voltage or resistance checks.
File Manager
Users can save the results for almost all tests for archival and future review. The
unit saves the results in the common .csv format which can be opened using
various spreadsheet and other applications. The files are exported via a common
universal storage bus (USB) flash storage device. The IW-1000 can hold
thousands of result files that can be removed, renamed, and exported from the
unit easily using the built-in File Manager application.
Indicates AC and DC voltages via the Volt/Ohm mode
The Volt/Ohm mode identifies the presence of an
open, short, or resistance on a line
File Manager is used to rename, delete, or export
result files from the SmartClass unit
