8.6 Close-Out Test Script
The Close-Out Test Script is a tool for running a series of Channel Sweep tests at various locations
within a subscriber premises, recording the results in a single file that can be transferred from the unit
following the testing. The intent is to produce a composite collection of results representing the service at
a single subscriber location.
The specific channels to test during the sweep are specified in the System menu. For more information,
see RF Script settings on page 8-26.
8.6.1 General procedure for running the Close-Out Script
The transfer of a results file requires configuration of the Admin Port on the base unit. Because it is
normally not feasible to maintain this configuration while moving between rooms to test the RF network,
the following general sequence of events should be followed:
• Launch the script and perform measurements in all desired locations (see Launching the Close-Out
Script on page 8-10).
• Exit the script. If presented with results handling options, select the option to keep or preserve results.
• Connect the Admin Port to a network that is able reach the computer to which the results should be
transferred. (System > Admin Port, see Admin Port on page 5-5 for more information).
• Launch the script again, selecting the option to FTP results, rather than to run the script again. When
untransferred results are remaining on the unit from a previous script run, the unit will produce a
prompt with the FTP option the next time the script is launched.
For more information on results handling and FTP, see RF Script settings on page 8-26 and Close-Out
Script results management and transfer on page 8-12.
8.6.2 Launching the Close-Out Script
NOTE: Before running the script, you should be sure that the primary script settings are configured
correctly (see RF Script settings on page 8-26).
When the script is launched, the unit may present a screen with options for handling results from a
previous script run, if it detects results from a previous run that have not been transferred yet. Until
successfully transferred from the unit or otherwise purged, the results from a previous script remain on
the unit and cause this prompt to appear, providing the following options:
