This course is designed to train network technicians and engineers how to test and maintain optical and electrical networks using any of the following test sets: The SunSet OCx, SunSet T1, SunSet T3, and SunSet 10G. The course covers the underlying technology, test set operation, and hand-on laboratories. The three days of course offering can be taken sequentially for complete training of T-carrier, SONET, and ATM network testing. The three days can also be broken into one or two day courses to meet an individuals network responsibilities.
