Connect a SmartID at the point of entry and use the USB cable to connect the
OneExpert DSL to the SmartID.
In order to map the network accurately, make sure that you connect to the primary SmartID
(connected to the OneExpert DSL with a USB cable) on the main side of the residential
gateway or splitter and not on a branch leg.
3
Place other SmartIDs at any location in the home wherever network qualification or trouble-
shooting is desired, such as TVs, set top boxes or cable modems.
There are three possible test configurations:
a
NID without diplexer: The primary SmartID (connected to the SCH with a USB cable)
should be connected at the RG (in place of the RG), and the remaining SmartID probes
should be connected at the STBs (in place of the STBs).
b
NID with diplexer: The primary SmartID (connected to the SCH with a USB cable) should
be connected at the RG (in place of the RG), and the remaining SmartID probes should
be connected at the STBs.
When a Diplexer is on the network, the VDSL connection must be disconnected.
c
INID: The primary SmartID (connected to the SCH with a USB cable) should be
connected at the INID coax connection feeding into the home (disconnected from the
INID), and the remaining SmartID probes should be connected at the STBs.
When connecting a SmartID to a wall plate, it is recommended to use a coax jumper
cable of at least 3 feet in length.
Ensure that all devices except SmartIDs are disconnected from the network.
4
Select the
Mode
system key and specify a
Whole Home Check.

On the Select SmartID Test Plan screen, select whether to test through a diplexer (RG -
Through Diplexer) or not (RG - No Diplexer).
–
For the NID without diplexer configuration (configuration
, above), select
RG - No
Diplexer
.
–
For the NID with diplexer configuration (configuration
, above), select
RG - Through
Diplexer
.
–
For the INID configuration (configuration
, above), select
RG - No Diplexer
.
6
Begin the test.
During the test, a pop-up message appears if any of the following is detected:
–
Near-end connection issue (i.e. open, short, loose connection, poor fitting, poor barrel on
SmartID)
–
Far-end connection issue (i.e. poor connection, fitting barrel, etc; partial short)
–
SmartID(s) detected but not mapped issue
–
SmartID mapping placement questionable (due to processed FDR data producing ambig-
uous length/location data for the particular SmartID probe)
–
Excessive noise ingress measured
–
Network Map obscured message warning for diplexer, filter, amplifier, etc.
–
Test FAILs if there is filter(s) or amplifier(s) present in the network
Note, that the “RG – Through Diplexer” test allows Diplexer in the network
After the test completes, the result test summary appears.
