Effective tests provide a systematic, positive acknowledgment from
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 Enterprise Server Application up and running?
OEM Service Depot Repair
When a host/terminal 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 Commander 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.
If the modem has been determined to be faulty it should be returned to
the place of purchase for inspection and repair.
