Performance Verification (PV) Test
After the FELCOM is installed, the installer usually confirms that it is functioning prop-
erly, by logging in and conducting the PV test. This test consists of receiving a test
message from an LES, transmitting a message to the LES and a distress alert test.
The results of the test appear on the PV test result display.
The PV test cannot be conducted from an auxiliary terminal unit. Note that the test can
also be initiated by an NCS.
8.3.1
PV test sequence
1. Select [PV Test] from the [Test] menu.
2. The MES requests an NCS to conduct the PV test.
3. The NCS acknowledges request for testing.
4. The MES, upon receiving acknowledgment from NCS, goes into pending state.
5. The NCS selects an LES to perform the test.
6. The LES transmits a test message to the MES.
7. The LES receives the test message.
8. The MES automatically transmits the distress alert test within two minutes after
completion of step 7.
9. When the distress alert test is finished, the LES sends the results of the PV test
to the MES.

tom of the screen.
