Installation and Maintenance Guide
For analog device to CO measurement
Use this procedure to measure the insertion loss from the analog device to the CO:
1 Establish a connection to a silent termination on the CO service line with an analog telephone
attached to the ATA 2.
2 Make sure the analog port terminates correctly in 600 ohms by:
replacing the analog telephone with the test set
using
TRANSMIT/600 OHM/HOLD mode on the test set
3 Make sure the test set connects in parallel to the service line before removing the analog
telephone or the line drops.
4 Remove the analog telephone.
5 Introduce a 1 kHz tone into the analog line at - 10 dBm, and measure the level at the CO
exchange.
Configuring the ATA 2
Configure the ATA 2 using the Business Communications Manager Unified Manager. For detailed
configuration information refer to the Analog Devices Configuration Guide.
Note: The difference in levels is the transmit loss and must be less than 10 dB
(for example, 9 dB is acceptable).
