Step 2. Command the test set to connect the test port to the Reflection Port. Consult Table 3-2 on page 3-9for a list of commands.

Step 3. Recall the limit test file for insertion loss. It is listed in Table 5-3 on page 5-7.

Step 4. Read the results of the insertion loss test on the screen of the network analyzer. Record the results in Table 5-8.

Step 5. Recall the limit test file for return loss (port active). It is listed in Table 5-3 on page 5-7.

Step 6. Read the results of the return loss (port active) test on the screen of the network analyzer. Record the results in Table 5-8.
