Connecting to the line
The method used to connect to the line varies depending on the test mode and line configuration.
Connecting to a single twisted pair
To connect to a single twisted pair
1 Using the RJ-45 to telco clips cable, connect the RJ-45 to bed of nails test lead to the DSL
connector on the right panel of the SmartClass.
2 Connect the RJ-45 to bed of nails test leads to the desired pair, black to tip(A) and red to
ring(B).
The line is connected.
Connecting to bonded twisted pairs
To connect to bonded twisted pairs
1 Using the RJ-45 to telco clips cable, connect the RJ-45 to telco clips test lead to the DSL
connector on the right panel of the SmartClass.
2 Connect the RJ-45 to telco clips test leads to the pairs: black to tip(A) and red lead to ring(B)
for pair one; blue to T1 and yellow to R1.
The line is connected. The modems begin to train on the lines automatically.
If one of the pairs is not capable of bonding, or the pairs do not bond, a red error message box
appears.
Test IP Mode Select the Test IP Mode.
Disabled means the SmartClass Triple Play Ser-
vices will act only as a basic router and not do any
data tests. (See Figure 9 on page 50.)
Automatic means that the test set will automatically
determine an IP address on the same netmask.
Manual means a specific IP has been assigned for
testing.
Test IP Mode If Test IP Mode is set to manual, enter the Test IP.
Setting Description
NOTE:
You may see both lines sync, drop, and then re-sync again. This is typical
for bonded lines. The modems include a test probe that syncs both pairs,
drops, and then re-syncs in bonded mode.
