NRI—Fault finding
NGT Transceiver System Technical Service Manual 277
Test procedures
It is recommended that the NRI be tested in the following order:
• the switchmode power supply where applicable
• the NRI as a stand-alone unit
• the NRI Microcontroller PCB
• the NRI Vocoder PCB
• the NRI User Connect PCB
Testing the switchmode power supply
To test the switchmode power supply:
1 Connect the switchmode power supply to a mains supply and switch it on.
1 Follow the steps in Figure 8 to assist in fault finding.

CAUTION
To avoid port failure, field service technicians using the Test connector of
the NRI during NRI testing or debugging should run laptops from the
internal battery instead of using the mains supply.
