4.10.1 Test Descriptions
4.10.1.1 Hardware Test
The Hardware test verifies the proper functioning of the iLNB by measuring the current in the receive
and transmit path between the modem and the iLNB.
Possible test results:
• A successful hardware test means that both the RX and TX current are within the expected
range. The figure below shows an example of a successful hardware test.
• A failed hardware test means that at least one of the measured currents falls outside the
expected range. This indicates a problem in the receive and/or transmit path.
If the hardware test has failed, please always verify the installation of the coaxial
cable. A defect cable, swapped TX and RX cables, or loose contacts at one or more
connectors can cause the hardware test to fail even if the iLNB itself is working
correctly.
If the problem persists, please contact your Service Provider.
• In some cases, the hardware test cannot be executed because of the actual modem state e.g.
during pointing. In this case, one is requested to try again later.
4.10.1.2 LAN Test
The LAN test is composed of two tests:
• The "Ethernet status" exists of three tasks:
» Checking the Ethernet physical layer.
» Obtaining the IP address off the computer connected to the modem.
» Checking the IP address of the computer, provided via DHCP by the modem.
• The "Number of TCP sessions" shows how many TCP sessions are currently active.
