Bench Test
It is always easier and more convenient to locate a failure and
solve a problem in a lab on a bench than on a roof under bad
conditions. It is then strongly recommended, as the
circumstances allow it, to perform a bench test with all the
modules prior to the installation in order to check the equipment
compatibility and to validate the configuration.
See Unpacking Instructions in Appendix C.
1 - TS5000/G & TS5000/G-F
Compatibility
Peripheral equipment
Check the operating of the peripheral equipment connecting them through cables
(see Configuration 1 below).
Interfaces
Check the specifications compatibility (type, wavelength, receiver range, output
power, data rate) between the TereScope and the peripheral equipment interfaces.
Testing equipment
Chose an appropriate BER (Bit Error Rate) tester for checking the physical link
quality. A portable one is preferred for convenient use in the field.
For example: A smartbit Giga Ethernet tester.
A ping test or a file transfer between two workstations - connected to the
networking equipment - is useful and easy to implement for testing the
performance of the whole configuration.
Setup
Dip-switch
Set all the DIP switch toggles to the OFF position for normal operation.
