Specs
• The text entry pad is similar to a standard text message device, where you must press a key
multiple times to cycle through the associated letters. For example, to enter a “b”, press the “2”
key three times quickly, then pause.
•The N1 key allows you to enter special characters, such as a period.
•The Help button on the physical keypad acts as a backspace.
4. Press the appropriate button to start the respective action, normally “Start” or “OK.”
NOTE: The unit is designed to be controlled by either the keypad or the touchscreen, or a combination
of both. You should become familiar with both methods of unit control, because you may find
that a combination of the two provides the most efficiency.
1.3.8 Stopping a test
Tests can be stopped immediately with the EXIT key. Also, the Back button in the upper left corner of the
screen normally exits the current test. Some tests may require a small amount of shutdown time before
terminating completely.
1.3.9 Saving results
Most tests allow you to save the results using the Save button on the results screen (F4 key). Results are
saved to the active record within the Record Manager. For more information, see Record Manager on
page 4-1.
1.3.10 Interpreting results
In some cases, this document provides results samples and references to industry standards for pass/fail
criteria. None of this information should be construed as a recommendation or mandate on how any
given organization should interpret results. In all cases, you should consult local and corporate protocol
for the standards by which you interpret results. This document does not intend in any way to serve as an
authorized or approved standard for the operation and maintenance of any telecommunications network.
1.4 Maintenance
The only maintenance task that should be performed by users is battery replacement. For all other
maintenance requirements, return the unit to Spirent. Do not remove the cover of the unit during battery
replacement or at any other time. For more information on battery replacement, see Battery replacement
on page 1-16.
