Using the CopperPro Tester as a Terminator
In the absence of a Terminator, you can use another CopperPro tester as a
substitute by placing it in the “Terminator Emulator” mode. To do this,
perform the following:
1. From the Terminator VF Auto-Test Selection screen (Figure 4-33), press
C(
Terminator Emulator).
The Terminator Emulator screen is displayed. In this mode, the CopperPro
tester is monitoring Pair 1 for DTMF commands from the testing
CopperPro tester at the far end, in order to run a terminated Auto-Test.
Terminator Emulator activity states are as follows:
•
Idle – If the Emulator is neither receiving commands from a
CopperPro tester nor applying a requested termination, it displays an
Idle message on its screen.
•
Test in Progress – If the Emulator is either receiving commands
from a CopperPro tester or is applying a requested termination, it
displays a
Test in Progress message.
Note
In the Terminator Emulator mode, the CopperPro tester places a
certain impedance on the test pair due to its DTMF receiver
circuit. This impedance is approximately 100 Ohms of resistance
from Tip to Ring, and can be used to verify that the Emulator is
connected prior to running a terminated Auto-Test. During the
Auto-Test, this impedance is automatically removed to keep test
results from being adversely affected.
2. To exit the Terminator Emulator mode, press K or M.
