3.3 Loop-back

Test

A loop-back test can be used to verify a good signal between the server and client radios. A
jumper will be connected from transmit to receive on the client radio only.


Follow these steps to run the test:

1. Remove the cover from the client radio.
2. Label the location of the green and white wires going into the radio interface board.
3. Disconnect the green and white wires going into pin-5 (RX) and pin-6 (TX) on TB1 of

the radio.

Note: The other wires to the radio must remain connected to provide power to the radio
board.

4. Put a jumper wire into pins 5 and 6 of the interface board, as shown in Figure 28.
