This unit
The Digital Lightwave ASA 312 Network Information Computer is a portable analyzer engineered for verification and qualification of telecommunications networks across DS0 through OC-48c protocols. It delivers simultaneous and independent testing of T-Carrier, SONET, and ATM signals - consolidating multiple traditional test sets into a single modular platform. The instrument features a 9.5-inch color touch-screen GUI with remote control capability, built-in optical and electrical measurements, and SONET through-mode operation with overhead manipulation. Its flexible architecture supports field installation, monitoring, and maintenance workflows across evolving network environments.

Digital Lightwave ASA — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Digital Lightwave ASA. Calibration covers optical reference power levels, electrical signal amplitude calibration, protocol layer verification, and BER measurement floor validation. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Digital Lightwave ASA faults: SFP cage mechanical damage, optical port contamination, firmware corruption. Most failures involve SFP/SFP+ cage mechanical damage, optical port contamination, or firmware corruption. Port cleaning and firmware restoration resolve the majority of faults.
