The Channel Explorer lists results for
channels on which the ANT-5 conducts
tests. You can scroll down the entire
list of channels, or type channel
numbers in the VPI and VCI text boxes.
If you type the number of a channel
that is not available, the Explorer lists
the next lowest channel. The time
stamp indicates the most recent time a
VPI/VCI channel was detected.

The Defect Panel view lists the ATM
defects, namely LCD, VC-AIS,
VC-RDI, VP-AIS and VP-RDI defects.
The defect panel continually updates,
displaying active events in red. The
defect panel LED’s turn yellow during
a test to show historic alarms, that is,
defects that have been raised during
a test but are not currently active. To
reset the LEDS press Alt and Menu
and select System >LEDs >Reset

screen will light up.
