RS232 DB-9: Used to update software or firmware. Use a
standard off the shelf NULL modem cable for the proce-
dure. See “Updating Firmware/Software” for additional
information. Do not use the RS232 DB-9 port if the unit
is connected to the ADSL circuit.
Battery
The TS1000 battery compartment is located on the back of
the unit. The alkaline AA batteries can be purchased any-
where batteries are sold. The batteries will allow power for
approximately 300 tests when operated at room tempera-
ture. The quantity of tests is based on the realization that
the unit remains on for 2 minutes after the ON button is
pressed and one 15 second test is run. The LCD will dis-
play the remaining battery level as a percentage. See
“Inserting/Replacing Batteries” for additional Information.
OPERATION
Testing Procedure
The TS1000 ADSL Test Set can be connected to various
points along the local loop between the Central Office (CO)
and the Customer. The connection points include but are
not limited to the CO, the cross box, pedestal and before or
after the Network Interface Device (NID). This allows the
user to determine the performance throughout the loop.
When connecting to the line, the user must be aware and
cautious of the voltages that will be on the line. The
TS1000 will isolate the user from any harmful voltages
such as ring voltage and station battery once successful
connection to the line is complete. The internal circuitry of
the TS1000 will also be protected from damage as a result
of spikes and DC line power. See Figure 2.
Note: Safe operating procedures must be exercised
when connecting to a line.
