Inactive Pair Autotest (without FED)
The Inactive Pair screen displays the type of test
(basic or full), the type of service (POTS), the wire
gauge, FED select status, and the cable type.
Press the [Setup] key to change the Inactive pair
parameters.
Autotest
Use this function to perform an automatic sequence
of tests on an Inactive, Active or Wideband pair. The
Wideband Autotest requires the use of a Far-end
Device (FED) such as a 3M FED, FED II, or CTC
Smart Strap
. The Inactive Pair Autotest can be
run with or without a FED. The Active Pair Autotest
is performed on a working pair (without a FED)
using a test line number. Certain Autotest results
are compared against pass/fail limits to provide a
quick-look at the pair condition. The pass/fail status
is indicated in the results box by with an “OK” for
pass, a “Yield” sign for marginal, and a “Stop” sign
for fail. Test values are also available for inspection
in the test value screen. In this screen, values that are
marginal or have failed are indicated by a highlight
around the result box. Refer to the tables on pages
130–131 for the tests that are performed and the tests
that have pass/fail limits.
Autotests without a FED
If a FED has not been previously selected, only
the Inactive Pair and Active Pair selection will be
visible. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select one
or the other. If a FED has been previously selected,
press the [Tab] key to select “None” under FED
Setup.
