About the SmartIDs
The SmartIDs (Figure 16) allow a technician to connect the <product name> directly to any single
SmartID device which then communicates with any other connected SmartID devices in order to
certify an in-home network and provide distances to found impairments. See Figure 17.
The difference in the SmartIDs versus the other terminators is that the terminators only indicate their
location, whereas the SmartIDs each also are used to identify their location, but also each SmartID
does a broadband noise ingress measurement, dual-ended FDR for coax mapping and frequency
sweeping to locate impairments.
If a Diplexer is on the network, disconnect the VDSL connection.
There are three test modes
