HTransmission signal quality testing

HFault tolerance testing

HPerformance monitoring

Setting Up the CTS 710

This section presents setup instructions for the CTS 710 in tables.

Perform the steps reading from left to right in the table (see example

below). The word none in a cell indicates that no action is required.
