Overview
The NSC200-PLATINUM-1G is a standard ordering package of the VIAVI Network & Service Companion (NSC-200). The NSC-200 is a compact hand-held, screenless test device that combines PON, Ethernet and WiFi test interfaces with VIAVI OneCheck applications for network validation and service activation testing by frontline technicians and installers.
The Platinum 1G package includes XGSPON, Ethernet and WiFi testing, SpeedCheck 1G, Ookla Speedtest 1G, TrueSpeed 1G, Loopback 1G and TWAMP. With it, technicians can confirm PON service delivery before troubleshooting the premises, run throughput tests, and segment issues between the access network and in-premises distribution.
For business and enterprise services, the unit can validate services as a standalone unit or act as a remote loopback device with the T-BERD/MTS-5800 for Y.1564 and RFC2544 tests. It also supports a TWAMP reflector and 24/7 monitoring sessions for long-term root cause analysis and SLA monitoring. VIAVI Fusion can use NSCs as remote-controlled test agents.
Workflow and connectivity
The device is operated over Bluetooth from the VIAVI Mobile Tech app on a smartphone or tablet. Job Manager organizes jobs, test results and reports. Reports are generated on the device and submitted through StrataSync or sent directly by email.
