Locating SmartIDs
The purpose of this test is to identify up to 16 SmartIDs on the network. The SmartIDs will work
through splitters, and multiple SmartIDs can be detected simultaneously.
To locate SmartIDs
1 Connect SmartIDs to the network at any location in the home where network qualification or
troubleshooting is desired, such as set top boxes or residential gateways (see Figure 15 for
examples).
2 Connect the USB cable from <product name> to one of the SmartIDs.
3 On the SmartID screen, select Locate SmartIDs.
If a warning message appears saying that no SmartIDs are registered, register the SmartIDs
as described in “Registering SmartIDs” on page 79.
4 If the test doesn’t automatically start, press the # key to restart.
The test runs and then displays the IDs found.
5 To enter Fast-Scan mode, press the * key.
The Locate SmartIDs test performs a single locate function. Fast-Scan mode continuously
scans for connected SmartIDs to allow you to quickly identify multiple coax runs in succession.
Since continuously scanning for SmartIDs can drain battery life, the default timeout can be
adjusted in the “Configuring SmartID settings” on page 79.
6 To save a test report, press the utility (i) key and then select Save Report or Save To Job, and
then specify the report settings such as report name, report format, technician ID, location,
and other settings as needed.
