11. Command a link loopback on the remote TRACER 64x0 unit and run a test pattern from the
connected T1 equipment. This will verify the data path across the RF link.
Installing/Configuring T1 Hardware
1. If possible, attach any or all of the intended T1 hardware to the TRACER 64x0 units using the
same workbench setup. This step offers the perfect opportunity to configure your T1 hardware for
proper functioning with the TRACER 64x0 hardware.
2. To significantly reduce the probability of an unsuccessful field installation, resolve any remaining
T1 equipment-to-TRACER 64x0 configuration issues before field installation. See T1 Interface
Alarms on page 127 for more information on resolving T1 interface alarm conditions.
Installing/Configuring E1 Hardware
1. If possible, attach any or all of the intended E1 hardware to the TRACER 64x0 units using the
same workbench setup. This step offers the perfect opportunity to configure your E1 hardware for
proper functioning with the TRACER 64x0 hardware.
2. To significantly reduce the probability of an unsuccessful field installation, resolve any remaining
E1 equipment-to-TRACER 64x0 configuration issues before field installation. See E1 Interface
Alarms on page 128 for more information on resolving E1 interface alarm conditions.
Installing/Configuring Ethernet Hardware
1. If possible, attach any or all of the intended Ethernet hardware to the TRACER 64x0 units using
the same workbench setup. This step offers the perfect opportunity to configure your Ethernet
hardware for proper functioning with the TRACER hardware.
2. To significantly reduce the probability of an unsuccessful field installation, resolve any remaining
Ethernet equipment-to-TRACER 64x0 configuration issues before field installation.
Quad Ethernet Switch Module
Connect a computer (or Ethernet test equipment) to the TRACER 64x0 Ethernet interfaces.
Perform a “ping” from one test station across the wireless link to another test station connected to
the remote TRACER 64x0. This will verify the data path between the test equipment and the
TRACER 64x0 unit.
4xE1 Module
Initiate a line loopback on the local TRACER 64x0 unit and run a test pattern from the connected
E1 equipment. This will verify the connection between the E1 equipment and the local
TRACER 64x0 unit.
External pattern generators are required to test data path integrity. A T1/E1 BER tester is
suggested.
