Modem Testing
The AJ High Speed Modems feature sophisticated diagnostic testing
capabilities to help determine the source of a malfunction in the
communication link. These tests can determine the function of much of the
equipment involved in a data communications link. The results of these test
operations are of significant importance to the CXR Telcom Customer
Support Representative in determining the nature of the failure. The
following tests are available:
Guide To Testing
A failure in a communication link may be the result of a problem in the local
or remote modem, the local or remote DTE, or the telephone company
circuit. Should a problem arise, the following steps must be taken to isolate
the problem.
1. Verify the integrity of the modem by performing the Local Analog
Loopback (LAL) with self-test at the local and remote modems.
2. If the results of both tests are good, perform the Remote Digital
Loopback (RDL) with self-test to verify that the modem-to-modem
communication link is operating properly.
•
If the link fails the RDL test, but the modems pass the LAL
tests, it is likely that the telephone circuit is the problem.
Report the problem to the telephone company if the problem
persists.
3. To verify the modem
and
the DTE, perform the Local Analog Loopback
test.
•
If this test is unsuccessful, but good results were obtained
with the LAL with self-test, the DTE is likely the problem
source.
•
Local Analog Loopback (LAL): Tests the local modem, the
local DTE, and local DTE interface.
