5 Performing EIV
Extended Installation Verification (EIV) can be performed at any point in the
installation to quickly confirm that the installation is satisfactory for all supported
orbital slots. EIV is an easy way to pinpoint any potential problems with the
installation. The AIM guides you through the steps for the testing.
To perform the Extended Installation Verification (EIV):
1 Start the job for the installation (“Starting a Job” on page31).
2 From the HOME screen, press EIV to go to the SELECT CONFIGURATION
screen.
3 Use
c or d to highlight the equipment configuration for the installation and
press SELECT to go to the MEASUREMENT LOCATION screen.
4 Use c or d to highlight the location where you are testing.
5 Connect the AIM ODU F connector at the point in the distribution network
where you want to test. Then press SELECT to go to the EIV screen.
Example: To test between the ODU and the
multiswitch, disconnect the cable connecting
the ODU to the multiswitch and connect it
to the AIM’s ODU F connector.
