Page 20: Adsl Test
6 ADSL Test The DA280 tester can perform ADSL physical layer and ADSL upper layer tests including a LAN Ping test. Each test will be explained in detail in this chapter. Testing with the DA280 tester is very easy. After connecting it to the ADSL line, power up the DA280 unit. -
Page 21: Connecting To An Adsl Line
6.1 Connecting to an ADSL Line The DA280 operates in terminal testing mode and connects anywhere between the DSLAM and the ATU-R device. This is illustrated in the following figure: 6.2 ADSL physical layer Test After Power On, the DA280 immediately attempts to connect with the Central Office (ATU-C). - Page 22 Waiting for Connection... The “DSL” LED indicates the status of the ADSL line. If the LED blinks slowly, this indicates that the unit is “waiting for initialization.” blinks rapidly, this signifies “initializing.” If the LED stays on, this signifies “Showtime.” When the connection is successful, the tester will beep several times, the status will display “Open success!!,”...
