AIM 2 Operation Manual
Performing EIV Plus
You can use EIV Plus to perform a series of tests to help you quickly identify potential
problems with an installation. EIV Plus performs the same tests as in Guided Mode, but
requires you to interpret the results and determine the next steps for troubleshooting (instead
of providing a recommendation).
EIV Plus and Guided Mode include one or more of the following tests, depending on the
conguration:
• B-Band Transponder test – For Slimline-3 and Slimline-5 ODUs, veries proper
operation at low-frequencies (250 to 750 MHz).
• A-Band Transponder test – For Slimline-3 and Slimline-5 ODUs, veries proper
operation at high frequencies (1650 to 2150 MHz).
• LNB Verication test – For all Slimline ODUs, veries that the installed equipment
matches the conguration entered in the AIM.
• 22 kHz Tone Control test – For all ODUs except SWiM ODUs and Round (18”),
veries the tone control of the multiswitch and the LNB.
• 18-Volt test – For all ODUs except SWiM ODUs, veries the voltage control of the
multiswitch and the LNB.
• BBC Switched Mode test – For congurations with BBCs, veries the Ku band passes
through the BBC in switched mode.
• SL3 101 Transponders on Tone Ports test – For Slimline-3 ODUs, veries the 101
transponders using 13-Volt and 18-Volt tones.
• SWiM Channel Assignments test – For SWiM ODUs and SWiM multiswitches, veries
the Receiver IDs (RIDs) and SWiM channel assignments for each IRD.
