Performing an In-Line Test

You can use the AIM's In-line test feature to help determine the cause of a problem
in an installation. Connecting the AIM in series with the equipment, you can
progressively test each segment of the connection between the ODU and the IRD to
locate a problem. The AIM can measure the voltage, current, and 22 kHz signals to
verify that the correct control signals are being transmitted through the coaxial
cable.
To perform an In-line test:
1 Start the job for the installation ("Starting a Job" on page 31).
2 From the HOME screen, press TEST to go to the TEST screen.
3 Use or to highlight In-Line Test and press SELECT to go to the
IN-LINE TEST screen.
4 Use or to highlight the equipment configuration for the installation and
press SELECT to continue.
