AIM 2 Operation Manual
If an EIV Plus test fails and the failure could be due to
inclement weather, you can use the Rain Mode feature
to continue troubleshooting with EIV Plus. Rain Mode
allows for a slight degradation in the RF signal in order
to account for environmental conditions, allowing
you to continue troubleshooting beyond the ODU. If
an EIV Plus test was run using Rain Mode, the Rain
Mode icon appears on the Results screen. While Rain
Mode accounts for environmental factors, it does not
increase the chance of passing Installation Verification
(IV) at the IRD.
For easy troubleshooting, you can use Guided Mode
to let the AIM’s built-in intelligence guide you through a
series of EIV Plus tests at recommended locations to
identify an issue. Or, you can perform EIV Plus at any
location in the distribution network for an installation,
following the steps below.
1. Start the job for the installation.
2. From the
HOME
screen, press
TEST
to go to
the TEST screen.
3. Highlight
EIV Plus
and press
SELECT
to go to the
EIV PLUS CONFIGURATION
screen.
4. Highlight the equipment configuration for the installation and press
SELECT
to go to the
EIV PLUS LOCATION screen.
