Maintenance Guidelines

The following factors can cause service problems in an EtherLoop sys- tem installation:

Incomplete cable connections

Improper BitStorm 1900 equipment installation

Improper data network equipment configuration

Equipment failure

The following sections briefly describe each of these potential problem causes.

Wiring Conditions

In general, EtherLoop systems can function well on standard, twisted pair phone lines (Category 3 or better). However, in older facilities, extremely poor wiring conditions may exist that can adversely impact EtherLoop performance, Also, RJ-11 wall jack connectors can become corroded, which may not impact voice service other than generating some static on the line, but can interfere with EtherLoop data service.
