COMMUNICATIONS TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
CAS-2000 Comprehensive Application System
Compact High Density Remote Test Unit
Key Features
• Up to 16 simultaneous DS1 tests from a DS3 interface on a
Digital Crossconnect System (DSC) or Test Access Unit (TAU)
• Supports 2 DS3 FAD or Dual FAD interfaces to access up to
two DCS connections
• Simultaneous test capacity scalable in increments of 2 or 8
tests
• IP communication link for central office wide area networks
or X.25 communication link for legacy data communication
systems
• Remote software download capabilities, eliminating the need
for on-site visits
• Onboard FLASH Hard Disk memory (optional) and network
backup (no floppy or tape drives) for increased system
reliability
• Scalable serving as an administration shelf for up to 8
additional T3AS shelves in any combination: supports up to
48 DS3s, 1120 DS1s or 448 DS1 test from multiple DCSs/TAUs
• Operates under a variety of OSSs and supports a wide range of
DCS and test access devices
Keeping in step as telecommunication networks evolve, yet operating under strict
capital expense limits is a challenge to today’s service providers. Maintaining
quality services at the lowest cost adds to this challenge. Service providers must
attract new clients, sustain existing, and roll out new services by minimizing
service provisioning times and mean time to repair (MTTR). Key to this is
offering rapid and efficient service provisioning and troubleshooting. To succeed,
providers must balance all these factors to ensure the highest customer
satisfaction. JDSU’s CAS-2000 provides a solution to help providers meet these
challenges.
JDSU has extended the capabilities of its T3AS Test and Performance Monitoring
System to bring service providers a compact, low cost, high density entry level
solution for managing digital services through the next generation of edge
elements. CAS-2000 allows for a compact yet high density entry level DS1 test
configuration at the lowest possible price while still enabling full expansion into
any DS3/1/0 application. This combined with the capacity of expansion shelves,
the CAS-2000 offers the best of both worlds – minimal upfront investment for an
entry level configuration while enabling the user to expand without having to
reinvest in additional common equipment. The low cost and high density also
makes it the ideal solution for the emerging edge based DS1 remote test market as
well providing remote test coverage at multi-service provisioning platforms
("MSPP") and small DCS/ADMs for test access. CAS-2000 is the Comprehensive
Application System meeting today’s service provider challenges.

CAS-2000
Performance
Monitoring System is a comprehensive
platform for remotely testing and
monitoring existing and nextgeneration networks. It has been
designed to support a multitude of
applications at both digital crossconnect (DCS) and non-DCS
locations. The CAS-2000 can act as a
stand-alone system or as the
administration shelf, providing the
central processing and communications interfaces to the test access
element and test operations system for
up to eight other shelves.
Depending on the application, you can
employ multiple shelves and
subsystems in a variety of configurations.
When used with T1
administration
links
deployed
between the base T3AS and the remote
shelves, the cost of one centralized
administration shelf can be amortized
over multiple shelves. T1 administration links can, however, be
difficult to implement and expensive
to maintain.
The CAS-2000 alleviates this issue. Its
much smaller size and lower cost make
it economically feasible to deploy as a
stand-alone or with stand-alone
shelves, eliminating the need to
implement complicated and costly T1
administration links for remote testing
and monitoring. Therefore, you can
use these available T1 circuits to
support customer services for added
revenue.

DS3 Test Access Capabilities
IP connectivity
The CAS-2000 supports DS1 testing
from a 3/1 Wideband DCS. The system
supports two single Facilities Access
Digroup (FAD) or Dual FAD
interfaces providing full support for
monitor and split access for up to two
DS3s per stand–alone configuration.
Additional access capability can be
provided using additional subassemblies.
The CAS-2000 provides IP connectivity
while preserving X.25 communications, which allows service providers
to migrate easily to a central office
WAN configuration that meets their
budget and schedule.
Remote software downloads
With the CAS-2000 remote software
download functionality, technicians
no longer need to visit local sites to
upgrade each system. This capability
greatly reduces field support costs and
allows rapid deployment of T3AS
features and enhancements.
DS 1 Testing Capabilities
Optimal DS1 testing capability is
provided in a compact solution. The
CAS-2000 supports up to 16 single
FAD or 14 Dual FAD DS1 tests. The
HiCAT module provides single or dual
FAD testing of up to eight (8) signals.
The DS1 Access/Test (AT) module
provides two (2) single or dual DS1
tests per module. Up to two modules
may be added to provide continuous
non-intrusive performance monitoring.
Additional test capability can be
provided using additional subassemblies.

Once installed the CAS-2000 based
DS1 entry level solution can be fully
expanded to support up to 8 additional
T3AS shelves in any combination for
DS3/1/0 DCS/TAU based testing or
DS3/1 in-line test. The CAS-2000 has a
common OSS and EMS interface for
up to 8 additional T3AS shelves in any
combination.
Reduced space requirement
The CAS-2000 is a compact 2U high
shelf. The shelf is self-contained
including a power supply, processor
and utility module and 3 slots for
adding test and interface modules.
