Testing the home run for VDSL service
The VDSL Home Run Check tests the cable connecting the residential gateway to the diplexer (see
Figure 16).
To run a VDSL Home Run Check
1 Connect a SmartID to the coax cable at the residential gateway location.
2 Connect the USB cable from <product name> to the SmartID at the RG.
3 Disconnect the cable that runs between the diplexer and the residential gateway, and then
connect a SmartID to the cable (this takes the diplexer out of the test).
4 On the SmartID menu, select VDSL Home Run Check.
The SmartID connected to the <product name> is highlighted. The test fails if any impairments
are found, and an exclamation point appears on the cable segment on the screen. To view
information for the cable segment or the other SmartID, press the left or right arrow keys. The
details appear in the box.
Use the # key to reverse the view.
5 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.
