1 Introduction
The ARGUS 41 PLUS provides the installer or service technician with confirmation that the
desired ADSL service (ADSL , ADSL2 or ADSL2+ ) is properly supplied to the subscriber.
By determining the ADSL connection rates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the ATU-C, the
ARGUS 41 PLUS evaluates the quality of the respective service at the customer's site
within a matter of seconds.
By connecting the battery operated ARGUS 41 PLUS to various points in the network (i.e.
to the endpoint or before or after the splitter), the technician can determine whether the
cabling is adequate for the DSL service or whether it should be further improved.

2 Safety Instructions
ARGUS ISDN-Testers may only be used with the included accessories. Usage of other
accessories may lead to erroneous measurements and could even damage the ARGUS
and the connected installation. The ARGUS is only to be used in accordance with the
instructions in this documentation. Any other usage may result in bodily injury and
destruction of the ARGUS.
Return and environmentally acceptable disposal
The RoHS (EU Directive on the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances”) guidelines, which
restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment,
apply in eight of the ten categories of the WEEE (EU Directive on “Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment”) guidelines.
The ARGUS products fall into category 9 and are thus not subject to the RoHS guidelines.
Nonetheless, we have decided to voluntarily ensure that ARGUS products built since 1
January 2007 satisfy all of the RoHS guidelines.
Since October 2005 in compliance with WEEE (EU Directive on Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) 2002/96/EU and the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Act (ElektroG - Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz), we have begun marking our testers
with the following symbol
( ) (DIN EN 50419) .
In other words, the ARGUS may not be disposed of in the household waste.
Regarding the return of old equipment, please contact our Service department.
- To prevent electrical shocks or damage to the ARGUS, do not connect it to lines
with voltages in excess of 100 V!
- Never attempt a measurement with the case open!
- The ARGUS is not watertight. Protect the ARGUS from exposure to water!
- Before replacing the battery (see page 11 Replacing the accumulators), disconnect
all the test leads and switch the ARGUS off.
- Make certain that the polarity is correct when connecting the accumulators!
- Unplug the power supply from the mains, as soon as the ARGUS is no longer in
use and switched off.

Replacing the accumulators
The battery compartment for the three accumulators (rechargeable batteries) is located on
the back of the case. Unscrew the screws to remove the cover of the case and insert the
accumulators in accordance with the polarity marking. Use only the accumulators included
in the package. The current state of the charge will (if the ARGUS is not connected to the
power supply) be displayed graphically. In the LCD display, a battery symbol will begin to
blink, when there is still approximately (depending on the mode of operation) 15 minutes
reserve. During this period, it is possible that there may be audible interference and in rare
cases even malfunctions.
Power Down
In accu/battery operation, if the ARGUS is idle for 5 minutes, it will automatically
switch to the power-down mode (power-down ). The ARGUS will remain in power-
down mode until the Power-Key is pressed again.
As an alternative, it is possible to operate the ARGUS using the included power supply. If
the ARGUS is connected to the plug-in power supply, it will automatically disconnect the
accumulators and will not enter power-down mode.
Unplug the power supply from the mains, once the ARGUS is switched off and will
no longer be used.
You should always operate the ARGUS with accumulators installed. This will ensure the
uninterrupted operation of the real-time clock.

5 Accu charge
Automatic recharging of the accumulators when switched on (trickle charge)
The ARGUS automatically recharges the
accumulators (also shortened to “accus”), if
the ARGUS is connected to the plug-in
power supply and switched on and the
accumulator voltage is too low (only use the
supplied accumulators).
The ARGUS will display the level of charge
and the voltage while charging the
accumulators.
Automatic recharging of the accumulators when the ARGUS is switched on
The ARGUS automatically recharges the accumulators (also
shortened to “accus”), if the ARGUS is connected to the
plug-in power supply and switched off and the accumulator
voltage is too low (only use the supplied accumulators).
While charging, the ARGUS displays the message Charge
accu”. Otherwise, the ARGUS will switch itself off
automatically as soon as the accumulators are recharged. If
you press and hold the power switch, the ARGUS will switch
off before the accumulators are recharged.
<DISC.> The accumulators will first be
discharged (this can take up to
7 hours) and will then, after a
cool down period of about 30
minutes, be automatically
recharged.
<NO> ARGUS will open the "Voltage"
display (see Page 13) without
recharging the accumulators.
< ABORT> The download is stopped.
<CONTI.> ARGUS will open the "Voltage" display (see
Page 13) without recharging the
accumulators.

6 Voltage measurement after being switched on
Using the ADSL 2-wire connection cable, the ARGUS is connected directly to the ADSL
access (either before or after the splitter). In this case, the ARGUS replaces both the
modem and the PC.
Use only the cables included in the package.
Press the Power key to switch the ARGUS on. The ARGUS
will display the DC voltage on the access interface.
Evaluating the voltage measurement when the ARGUS is
connected ahead of the splitter:
It is not possible to evaluate a voltage measurement made
with the ARGUS connected behind the splitter:
0 Volts: No definite assessment possible.

7 ARGUS Configuration
7.1 Connection of the ARGUS to a PC
The ARGUS is configured from a PC with the aid of a web interface. This same setup is
also used to display the test results.
PC settings:
First start Windows on your PC. The
following steps describe the
procedure when the PC is running
Windows XP Professional.
In the taskbar, click on the "Start"
button (generally at the lower left-
hand corner of the screeen) and then
click on "Control Panel" to open it.
In the "Control Panel" window,
double-click on "Network
Connections" to open it and then, in
the list, select "LAN Connections".
Next right click on "LAN Connections"
and then select "Properties" from the
now open list. The window at the side
will now open.
Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
Click on the "Properties" button.
In the now open window, select
"Obtain an IP address automatically"
and "Obtain DNS server address
automatically".
Click on the "OK" button.
7 ARGUS Configuration
16
ARGUS 41
PLUS
As it comes from the factory, the ARGUS is set to "DHCP server mode" and uses
the IP address 192.168.10.1 on the LAN side.
When the ARGUS is first used, it should not be connected to a network via a router
or switch, since in "DHCP Server mode", the ARGUS will assign IP addresses to
any network devices which are in "DHCP Client mode". Furthermore, it can cause
conflicts with any other device in the network which is also in "DHCP Server mode".
Using a PC and the web interface, the ARGUS LAN settings can be changed as
needed to suit your network infrastructure (see Page 25).

7.2 Configurig the ARGUS
To connect the ARGUS to the PC, plug one end of the included patch cable (twisted pair)
into the "LAN" jack on the ARGUS and the other end into the PC's Ethernet jack. Switch the
ARGUS on and the "LAN" LED will light.
Start any common Internet browser and enter the following address http://192.168.10.1.
The web interface will open.
7.2.1 Setting the profile parameters
The ARGUS saves all of the parameters required for setting up a PPP connection and
running the Ping test in profiles. Using the web interface, you can configure up to 10 user-
defined profiles and send them to the ARGUS. Before a PPP connection can be set up, you
must first select a profile on the ARGUS 41 PLUS (see Page 36).
First click on "Settings"
and then on "Profiles".

Click on a profile to open it to view or
edit its parameters.
First click on "Line" and then
select, e.g. "ATM" to view the ATM
parameters.
Click on the radio button in front of
the profile that you wish make the
"Active Profile" (default profile).
The "Active Profile" will be
automatically set as "available".
The ARGUS will then suggest the
"Active Profile" as the default
profile for any connection or test.
