About copper testing
The SmartClass Triple Play Services's optional copper features allow quick turn-up and basic trou-
bleshooting of the copper local loop.
The copper features include two quick tests:
– CableCheck
– Snapshot test
You can also perform specific measurements for the following tests:
– AC volts
– DC volts
– Resistance
– Leakage
– Distance to short
– Opens (distance) and capacitance
– DC current
– Balance
– Load coil detect
– POTS calls
Each of these tests is described in the following sections.
Cord compensation
For greatest accuracy, JDSU recommends that you perform a cord compensation to remove the
effects of the test leads from the test measurements. There are two scenarios for compensation: all
leads open and all leads shorted (resistance).
To compensate for the cords
1
From the main menu, select Copper.
2
Select Calibration.
3
Select which cable compensation you wish to perform: Opens (capacitance) or Short (resis-
tance).
4
Follow the instructions on the screen to connect the black, red, and green leads to perform test
lead compensation.
5
Press the OK key to begin the compensation.
The compensation stops automatically when finished.
