The 923LTS Test Environment
Use the Sage 923LTS hand-held unit in the field to connect to the line being tested. The
Interface can be at a customer premises or at any two-wire access point. The 923LTS
can connect to customers served by:
•
copper loop
•
hybrid fiber coax loop
•
wireless loop
Using menus on the 923LTS, the technician selects the test or test suite, and then
initiates a call to the farend responder (either the Sage 950RTS or 356Eplus). The Sage
responder contains instructions for the test sequence, and each test’s pass/fail
parameters. The selected test runs automatically. At the conclusion of the test, the
923LTS displays an immediate, overall pass/fail notification.
Using menus on the 923LTS, the technician can view the detailed results of each portion
of the test. During the test, the technician can listen to the dial tone, progress tones, and
other audible sounds. Typically, a test suite takes less than a minute to complete.
The 923LTS stores the results of the 10 most recent tests. Complete test data is stored
on the responder.
