Structured Cable Field Calibration and Testing

ANALYZE TEST SEQUENCE
When an individual test is running, the following actions occur:
1.
If the test requires the RH (Remote Handset), the DH will first attempt to
communicate with the RH. If it is unable to establish communication, the DH will
display a message that it is looking for the RH and continue trying until the
Analyze test is manually canceled or the RH is found.
2.
Once communication with the RH is established, its serial number is verified to the
current field calibration data. If a field calibration has not been performed in the
last 7 days with this RH, an appropriate “Calibration Recommended” message will
display.
3.
If the serial number is valid, the DH will proceed with the specified individual test.
4.
If the test does not require the RH, the DH will run the test and display test data.
Note: Pressing the ESCAPE key will cause the display to STOP scanning for the
Remote and initiate the test in situations where the Remote is not required.
5.
Once a test is completed, the test data can be reviewed or printed.
RUNNING A SINGLE TEST
Before beginning Analyze testing, connect the Display and Remote Handsets to the
cable or link to be tested.
All Analyze tests are performed using the following procedure:

Select Analyze on the Ready screen to open the Analyze screen. The Analyze
screen lists the tests that can be performed on the currently selected cable type.
