Step Operation Explanation
1 Power on
Press the button once. The LCD
display will start to run initialization and
then display the model of tester if
self-test passed. The tester will beep
once when it is ready to use.

5 Setup
There are only a few parameters that need to be configured on
the ParaScope ADSL2+ez tester.
In this Chapter:
• Entering Setup Mode
• Loading Modem Default
• Setup Test Parameters
• Adjusting LCD contrast
• Changing Date and Time
5.1 Entering Setup Mode
From the main menu, move the cursor to “3. Setup” and press the OK key to enter the Setup mode.
5.2 Beep Setup
Press the ∨ key to choose “On” or “Off” then press the OK
key to select the setting.
1. Beep:► on *off 2. CPU firmware ver 3. IP Ping Params 4. ADSL Mode
5. Modem version 6. Load default 7. Pass/Fail Params
5-2
5.3 View CPU firmware version
Press the ∨ key to choose “2.CPU firmware ver” then
press the OK key to view CPU firmware version.
5.4 IP Ping Params Setup
There are two parameters in IP Ping Parameters Setup mode:
No. of sent means the number of ping packets sent. Packet size means the size of each ping packet.
Press the < or > key to change the value.
Press the ∨ key to switch between the two parameters.
Press the F1 key to save the setup.
5.5 ADSL Mode Setup
There are two Modes in ADSL Mode Setup mode:
You can select ADSL1 or ADSL1/2/2+. If ADSL1 option is selected, the tester will be in ADSL1 multimode (T1.413 issue 2, G.dmt and G.lite). If the ADSL1/2/2+ option is selected, the tester will be in ADSL1/2/2+ multimode. It will first make an ADSL2+ mode request to the DSLAM. If the DSLAM doesn't support this, the tester will make another request to the DSLAM, based on the information returned from the DSLAM during the first poll.
ADSL1 ►ADSL1/2/2+
5-3
5.6 Viewing Modem firmware Version
Press the ∨ key to select “5.Modem version” then press
the OK key to view modem firmware version.
5.7 Loading Default
Press the ∨ key to select “6.Load default” then press the
OK key to Load default configuration of the inside modem.
5.8 Pass/Fail function
Pass/Fail function is implemented by comparing real line values with their thresholds (also called reference values in this manual), which can be defined by user. The detailed steps are described below.
Press the ∨ key to select “7.Pass/Fail Params”, then press
the OK key. The following window will be displayed:
Loading Modem default Please restart the tester after DSL LED blink again!
Modem ver: 1104586
5-4
Select option 1, 2 or 3 via ∧ or ∨ key for different Pass/Fail
mode. 1. No Pass/Fail: This option means the unit doesn’t do any
pass/fail. 2. Pass/Fail 1: This option is letting user set reference values
for DSLAM port. When you select this option, the real test values from the line will be measured with the reference values to check if they are passes or failed.
3. Pass/Fail 2: This option is for setting for outside line reference values. When you select this option, the real test values from the line will be measured with the reference values to check if they are passed or failed.
Once you made the selection, the selection will be saved in
the system. Setting up the Pass/Fail reference values 1 is similar to setup
Pass/Fail reference values 2. An example is as below: Press the ∨ key to select “2. Pass/Fail 1”, then press the
OK key. The following window will be displayed. From this screen, press the ∧ key to delete current
►1. No Pass/Fail 2. Pass/Fail 1 3. Pass/Fail 2
Bitrate>: 2048 512
SNR marg>: 15 6
Attenuat<: 55 40
Capacity<: 80% 80%
5-5
parameter, using the ∨ key to move to next parameter. The
number key 0-9 will be used to input the number, while F1 key is used to save the setting.
The Pass/Fail indication will be shown like below if all parameters are passed:
Otherwise it will be shown as: The pass/fail results will be displayed on the result window as
the real test values are on the left side and reference values are on the right side. If a test value is passed, a “Pass” will be displayed for that parameter.
There are 2 pages of the test results. One is for downstream parameters and another is for upstream parameters.
Pass/Fail 1 result: Pass!
Pass/Fail 1 result: Fail!
DownRate: Pass 2048
SNR marg: 13.5 15
Attenuat: Pass 55
Capacity: 85% 80%
5-6
From above first result page, it is easy to find the fail is caused by downstream noise margin and capacity because the reference value for noise margin is 15 and the test value is 13.5 (less than the threshold) and the capacity is 85% and the reference value is 80%.
Press the ESC key to go to the ADSL physical layer test
window.
Select “6.Load default”, this will make all user defined reference values be replaced by manufactory default values. The manufactory default reference values for Pass/Fail 1 and Pass/Fail 2 are:
Pass/Fail 1:
Pass/Fail 2:
Bitrate>: 2048 512
SNR marg>: 15 6
Attenuat<: 55 40
Capacity<: 80% 80%
Bitrate>: 2048 512
SNR marg>: 30 20
Attenuat<: 5 5
Capacity<: 30% 60%
UpRate: Pass 512
SNR marg: Pass 6
Attenuat: Pass 40
Capacity: Pass 80%

6 ADSL Test
The ParaScope ADSL2+ez tester can perform ADSL physical
layer and ADSL upper layer tests including a LAN Ping test.
Each test will be explained in detail in this chapter.
Testing with the ParaScope ADSL2+ez tester is very easy. After
connecting it to the ADSL line, power up the PS ADSL2+ez unit.
It will automatically begin connecting with the ATU-C. After the
ParaScope ADSL2+ez has successfully connected with the
ATU-C, the line parameters can be checked in detail by
pressing the OK key. Some of the available parameters are:
upstream and downstream rate, noise margin, and frame error
counting.
In this Chapter:
• Connecting to an ADSL line
• ADSL physical layer test
• Viewing test results
• Saving test results
• Alarm indicators and messages
• ADSL upper layer test

6.1 Connecting to an ADSL Line
The ParaScope ADSL2+ez operates in terminal testing mode and connects anywhere between the DSLAM and the ATU-R device. This is illustrated in the following figure:
6.2 ADSL physical layer Test
After Power On, the ParaScope ADSL2+ez immediately
attempts to connect with the Central Office (ATU-C). Press the
OK key to start the ADSL physical layer test. The LCD status
displays the connection status of the ParaScope ADSL2+ez
and the ATU-C, such as “Waiting for connection…” or “Open
success!!” as shown in the display below:
6-3
The “DSL” LED indicates the status of the ADSL line. If the
LED blinks slowly, this indicates that the unit is “waiting for
initialization.” If the LED blinks rapidly, this signifies
“initializing.” If the LED stays on, this signifies “Showtime.”
When the connection is successful, the tester will beep
several times, the status will display “Open success!!,” and the
LCD display will show the current link mode and the line
parameters.
If the ParaScope ADSL2+ez fails to connect to the ATU-C, the “Alarm” indicator on the front panel will illuminate and the Status will display “connection fail!!”

6.2.2 Saving Test Results
Once the ParaScope ADSL2+ez has successfully connected
with the ATU-C, press the F1 function key to save the current
test results. A message displays “Save to No. xxx, Yes/No?”. If
you want to save the testing results, press the OK key;
otherwise press the ESC key to cancel the save operation.
6.2.3 Alarm Indicators and Messages
If the ParaScope ADSL2+ez becomes disconnected from the ATU-C due to external reasons, such as the ADSL line is cut, loss of power, etc., it will generate an audible warning and turn on the “ALARM” indicator on the front panel, and display ”Loss of signal!” in the LCD display. Detailed alarm messages are available on pages five to eight, the test results for both current and historical occurrences are displayed.
