BenchTest

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. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended to perform a bench test with all the modules prior to installation in order to check the equipment compatibilityand to validate the configuration.

See Unpacking Instructions in Appendix C.

1–TS700/155, TS800/155,andTS800/155-F

Compatibility

Peripheral equipment

Check the operation of the peripheral equipment connected with 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.

Test equipment

Chose an appropriate Bit Error Rate (BER) tester for checking the physical link quality. A portable one is preferable since it is more convenient for use in the field.

For example: the OC3 port plus SONET and ATM analyser manufactured by Fluke.

A ping test or a file transfer between two workstations - connected to the networking equipment - is useful and easy to do for testing the performance of the whole configuration.

Setup

Data Rate DIP Switch Toggle

According to the application in use, set the switch toggles as indicated in the following table: (In TS800/155 and TS800/155-F set the DS1 toggles)
