REMOTE BERT
The TRACER includes a Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) to verify that the installed system is operating
correctly. When the “Remote Test” button is pushed on the local BBP, the remote end will send a BERT
pattern for approximately ten seconds. The “Remote TST” indicator will turn yellow and remain on for
the duration of the test. If no bit errors are detected, the “Remote TST” indicator will turn off. If any bit
errors are detected, the “Remote Fail” indicator will turn red. This test should be run after the radio link
has been aligned. If the test fails, refer to Section 4, “Troubleshooting,” for guidance.
ALARM CONTACTS
Two classes of alarm, MAJOR and MINOR, are provided. A MAJOR alarm is signaled when the
microwave path is not operational. A MINOR alarm is activated when any of the following conditions
are detected at one of the E1 interfaces:
Loss of Signal
Code Violation
CRC error
Framing Error
Remote Error
UA1
Both normally-open and normally-closed contacts are provided for each alarm class. Access is provided
by a six-position terminal strip on the baseband processor.
