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
conguration:
• B-Band Transponder test – For Slimline-3 and Slimline-5 ODUs, veries proper
operation at low-frequencies (250 to 750 MHz).
• A-Band Transponder test – For Slimline-3 and Slimline-5 ODUs, veries proper
operation at high frequencies (1650 to 2150 MHz).
• LNB Verication test – For all Slimline ODUs, veries that the installed equipment
matches the conguration entered in the AIM.
• 22 kHz Tone Control test – For all ODUs except SWiM ODUs and Round (18”),
veries the tone control of the multiswitch and the LNB.
• 18-Volt test – For all ODUs except SWiM ODUs, veries the voltage control of the
multiswitch and the LNB.
• BBC Switched Mode test – For congurations with BBCs, veries the Ku band passes
through the BBC in switched mode.
• SL3 101 Transponders on Tone Ports test – For Slimline-3 ODUs, veries the 101
transponders using 13-Volt and 18-Volt tones.
• SWiM Channel Assignments test – For SWiM ODUs and SWiM multiswitches, veries
the Receiver IDs (RIDs) and SWiM channel assignments for each IRD.
