5.5.1 Link Bit Error Rate Performance Test
To start : when the link is setup correctly, the RF Link LEDs on both IUs on both sides
of the RF link should be GREEN.
When the link has been setup and is running error-free:
1. Clear the Indoor Unit Log using Reset Button Position ‘2’
2. Clear the Indoor Unit Errors using Reset Button Position ‘1’
Perform a link bit error rate performance test as follows:
• Connect a bit error rate tester to the payload interface of the link.
• Run data over the link for a period of 24 hours.
• Record the BER.
• Record the LED statuses.
Check the Indoor Unit Packet Error Results via the NMS or via SNMP access to the
Indoor Unit MIB – for the NMS, right-click on the antennas in the NMS for either side
of the link and select the “Diagnostic/Error Monitor” option. Record the results by
saving the data to a file. For SNMP access, use a MIB Browser and check the
mdrmteRFLinkPerf and mdrmteG826 Performance groups.
