5.3.3 USING THE V.52 BER TEST INDEPENDENTLY
The Model 1140ARC's V.52 BER test can be used independent of
the V.54 loopback tests. This requires two operators: one to initiate and
monitor the test at both the local and the remote Model 1140ARC. To
use the V.52 BER test by itself, both operators should simultaneously
follow these steps:
1.
Locate the lower of the two toggle switches on the front panel
of the Model 1140ARC and move it to the right. This will
activate the V.52 BER test mode and transmit a “511” test
pattern to the other unit. If any errors are present, the
receiving modem’s red “Error” LED will blink sporadically.
Note: For this independent test to function, the “511” switch on
both
Model 1140ARCs must be turned on.
2.
If the test indicates no errors are present, move the V.52
toggle switch to the left, thus activating the “511/E” test with
periodic errors present. If the test is working properly, the
receiving modem’s red “Error” LED will blink
regularly
. A
successful “511/E” test will confirm that the link is in place, and
that the Model 1140ARC’s built-in “511” generator and detector
are working properly.
