Chapter 5 Testing the TimeProvider

Testing the TimeProvider

Testing the TimeProvider

Perform the tests described in this chapter after you install (see Chapter 3, Installing the TimeProvider) and provision (see Chapter 4, Provisioning the TimeProvider) the TimeProvider. Record the results in the Test Record in Test Record, on page 153.

These tests verify the operation of the TimeProvider and are not mandatory for operating the unit.

Test Overview

This chapter describes four tests that verify the operation of the TimeProvider:

Verify normal operation

Test alarm conditions

Test communication ports

Perform output checks

Test Equipment

To perform the tests in this chapter, you need the following equipment:

Volt-ohmmeter

Oscilloscope

Communications analyzer

Verifying Normal Operation

The LEDs on the IMC and the IOC(s) indicate the status of the TimeProvider. Table 5-1shows the condition of the LED indicators on the front panel of the IOC under normal operating conditions.

Table 5-1. LED Conditions for the IOC

LED Name	Condition	Description

Power	Green	Power is On

Fail	Off	No failure

Alarm	Off	No alarm

Active	Green	Card is active
	Off	Card is in standby mode
