Communications
This section explains general troubleshooting procedures for the 400 series of Information Codes. These
errors are primarily caused by poor telephone line quality (loss, noise, echo, etc.). This unit is furnished with
Test Mode 1 to assist in troubleshooting line quality problems.
It is suggested that both the transmitting unit and receiving unit be adjusted. This section gives relevant
parameters in Test Mode 1 for the both the transmitting and receiving sides. If no improvement is realized
after the parameters are adjusted, it is recommended that the parameters be returned to the default settings.
