Port 2 Connection Error - Overview
Prior to beginning a OneCheck test at the Tap or Ground Block, the ONX attempts to determine whether
it is properly connected on Port 2 to a valid coaxial network, such as home wiring, which will then
measure ingress coming from the subscriber premises
✓
The ONX validates the connection by utilizing its built-in TDR, sending a TDR pulse out of port 2 of the
ONX, and looking at the measured TDR reflections
✓
If the detectable reflections are greater than 6ft in length then the ONX proceeds with OneCheck
testing, however, if the TDR reflections are less than 6ft, or no reflection is detected, the Port 2
Connection Error (pictured right) is shown
✓
This displayed message serves two purposes:
✓
Warn the user in case a connection was not made properly so a valid test can be performed
✓
Ensure users always connect to the subscriber's coax network, for proper ingress testing of the
prem, and discourages performing ingress testing on a clean short coax jumper
✓
After checking the connection press "Retry" to attempt the test again or press "Configure" to go back to
the main OneCheck display
