While observing the RSL levels on the CS6716 Modem front Panel display, adjust 
RCVR1-RCVR4 potentiometers on the OAC-170D for the lowest common RSL to 
/- 0.25 dB.

 

 Refer to fig 1.2 and fig 1.3.

 

 

NOTE:  The lowest RSL is the highest numerical value i.e. -74 is lower than -72.  
Therefore RCVR-2 and RCVR-3 need to be adjusted from -72 down to -74 in fig 1.2.  
When adjusting the potentiometers; Clockwise (CW) increases the level and Counter 
Clockwise (CCW) decreases the Level.

On each Down Converter, turn the Noise Test Switch to OFF and tune the receiver 
amplifier-converter and frequency synthesizer receive frequency back to the normal 
receive frequency.
