outage. For this reason, you should design the application to allow for

each of the network components. For example:
Test 1 Is the OEM module able to pass its own self test?
Test 2 Is the OEM module able to communicate with peripherals?
Test 3 Is the OEM module able to communicate with the integrated
modem?
Test 4 Is the modem able to hear the network?
Test 5 Is the modem registered and allowed to operate on the
network?
Test 6 Is the gateway (if present) up and running?
Test 7 Is the host up and running?
OEM Service Depot Repair
When a unit is returned for service, the first requirement is to
determine whether the modem must be sent on to Wavenet for
inspection and/or repair. To set up for this test, you need to have an
evaluation board, a known-good Boomer II OEM modem (for
comparison), a power supply, Wavenet RSUSER software or Wavenet
Modem Test software and an end-to-end test setup. The end-to-end test
can employ either a live network or an over-the-air test involving a
communications monitor that can transmit and receive at the
appropriate frequencies. The objective is to test the suspect modem in a
known-good environment, in which all other components are known to
be operational.
