From what I understand, these testers are used for monitoring and diagnosing data signals. The Network Communications Corp NP7100 Network Probe WAN protocol unit tests T1, E1 / 2MB data, ISDN, RS232, RS422, V.35 plus dual channel oscilloscope, dvm and much more all in one package!

The components offered are in good condition and appeared to be complete and functional when power tested. I have no knowledge of the operation of this unit so can’t test further. The NP7100 is still being sold by Network Solutions for over $10,000 so don’t miss this deal! As with all items I sell, these units are being sold "as-is".

The menu on this unit has the following: BERT / BLERT / AUTO CONFIG / T1 2MB / DVOM TONE / DIGTL TIMS / FILE XFER / LEAD STATS / MSDOS CONV / REM CTRL / DIGTL SCOPE / SPKR MON / SYS UTIL. I would guess that’s all this unit will test. I believe more functions can be done by upgrading the software.

Includes various cables/adapters for connecting to unit to be tested.
Includes Operational Manual.
Includes custom Softcase
See pictures above for exactly what is included and condition of components.
This unit is in good physical condition, but may have some tape/sticker residue, ID markings, and may have dust from storage. Some of the specs and features may have been taken from internet sources whose accuracy may be questionable. I don't know much about these, but if you have a question, e-mail me.
