- 1. Display the E1(x) Status screen and check the E1(x) Interface Alarm field to identify the active alarm.
- 1. Verify that the E1 cable is connected to the E1 interface on the TRACER 64x0.
- 2. Verify the connections at the opposite end of the E1 cable.
- 3. Verify that the framing mode (framed, multiframed, or unframed) is the same for both the TRACER 64x0 and the E1 equipment.
- 2. Verify the cable connections for the E1 interface are solid.

Use the tables in Section 2, Microwave Path Engineering Basics, on page 15, of this manual to
select the proper free-space attenuation value (in dB) based on the estimated length of the
microwave path. Remember to subtract both antenna gains (local and remote) from the attenuator
setting.
10. Test the installed modules by performing the following steps:
11. Command a link loopback on the remote TRACER 64x0 unit and run a test pattern from the
connected T1 equipment. This will verify the data path across the RF link.
Installing/Configuring T1 Hardware
1. If possible, attach any or all of the intended T1 hardware to the TRACER 64x0 units using the
same workbench setup. This step offers the perfect opportunity to configure your T1 hardware for
proper functioning with the TRACER 64x0 hardware.
2. To significantly reduce the probability of an unsuccessful field installation, resolve any remaining
T1 equipment-to-TRACER 64x0 configuration issues before field installation. See T1 Interface
Alarms on page 125 for more information on resolving T1 interface alarm conditions.
Installing/Configuring E1 Hardware
1. If possible, attach any or all of the intended E1 hardware to the TRACER 64x0 units using the
same workbench setup. This step offers the perfect opportunity to configure your E1 hardware for
proper functioning with the TRACER 64x0 hardware.
2. To significantly reduce the probability of an unsuccessful field installation, resolve any remaining
E1 equipment-to-TRACER 64x0 configuration issues before field installation. See E1 Interface
Alarms on page 126 for more information on resolving E1 interface alarm conditions.
4xT1 Module
Initiate a line loopback on the local TRACER 64x0 unit and run a test pattern from the connected
T1 equipment. This will verify the connection between the T1 equipment and the local
TRACER 64x0 unit.
Quad Ethernet Switch Module
Connect a computer (or Ethernet test equipment) to the TRACER 64x0 Ethernet interfaces.
Perform a “ping” from one test station across the wireless link to another test station connected to
the remote TRACER 64x0. This will verify the data path between the test equipment and the
TRACER 64x0 unit.
4xE1 Module
Initiate a line loopback on the local TRACER 64x0 unit and run a test pattern from the connected
E1 equipment. This will verify the connection between the E1 equipment and the local
TRACER 64x0 unit.
External pattern generators are required to test data path integrity. A T1/E1 BER tester is
suggested.
