Bercut-C

Bercut-C is a multipurpose compact analyzer for signaling systems and PCM network, based on iPAQ 39xx/54xx/55xx handheld PC by HP.

Unfortunately, the device is removed from production.

Key features

  • Compact design: 85x140x28mm.
  • User-friendly graphical interface.
  • 4xE1 receiving ports.
  • 2xE1 transmitting ports.
  • Passive monitoring mode.
  • Modern stack of communications protocols.
  • A big set of test patterns (PRBS or defined by user).
  • Displaying results as chronogram.
  • Open platform (OS Linux), the source code of all applications is accessible.
  • PCM test as per ITU-T recommendations G.821, G.826, M.2100.
  • Remote access via TCP/IP (SSH, HTTP) protocols, USB port or COM port.
  • Remote access by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (in models based on iPAQ 54xx/55xx).
  • Receive, save and decipher data of signaling protocols (SS7, EDSS1/DSS1, V5.1, V5.2, R1.5 and others), arriving from E1-path. Decoded packets can be on-line viewed on the analyzer's screen or on PC.

Applications

Applications of Bercut-C, based on Open Palmtop Integrated Environment (OPIE) are rather compact and user-friendly. More then 15 applications are supported:

  • Signaling protocol analysis.
  • HDLC errors monitoring.
  • PCM paths state.
  • PCM ports settings.
  • PCM monitoring.
  • Filtering setup.
  • Simultaneous measuring of PCM paths parameters (up to 4 paths).
  • Binary data (frames) view.
  • Voice channels listening.
  • Histograms of PCM events.
  • Test patterns setup.
  • Test patterns receivers state.
  • Events database.
  • Data stream filters.
  • Text decoder of messages.
  • Applications for data getting and analysis.

All releases for a handheld analyzer have analogies, performing under MS Windows and X Window System control.

And, naturally, all range of UNIX commands is accessible for flexible device control by means of remote access or internal terminal applications.
