This section explains how to start using your E1 Tester.
When you unpack the E1 Tester, do the following:
– Inspect the tester for damage.
– If undamaged, save the box and packing materials in case you need to
ship the tester in the future.
Before using the E1 Tester for the first time, do the following:
– If you are using alkaline batteries, verify that your unit is OFF, and then
install fresh batteries in the tester.
– If you are using rechargeable batteries, verify that your unit is OFF, and
then install the batteries in the tester. Before testing, make sure the
batteries have been fully charged (see “Recharging the batteries” on
page 104).
– Turn the unit ON (see “Powering ON your unit” on page 10).
– When prompted, specify the type of battery you installed.
– Verify that your unit is operating properly by navigating through a few
menus.
SmartClass E1 Tester User’s Guide 5
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Exploring the front panel
– If the Batt LED is red, replace the batteries (see “Replacing the batteries”
on page 105). If you suspect that the batteries are fine, and the batteries
are fully charged, it’s possible the charger has detected a fault condition.
See “Resolving problems” on page 108 for details.
Charging the batteries
Exploring the front panel
The SmartClass Tester uses an AC adapter or four (4) AA batteries (alkaline
or rechargeable NiMH batteries). The first time you use the SmartClass Tester,
or after prolonged storage, use the AC adapter to power the unit and charge
NiMH batteries only. For details on charging and maintaining batteries, see
Chapter 8 “Maintaining the Batteries”.
The controls and LEDs on the SmartClass front panel, shown in Figure 1, are
used to operate the unit, set up tests, and view data.

Status LEDs
These indicators report the status of the unit. The function of the LEDs change
depending on the application. Table 6 describes each of the Status LEDs.
Table 6 Status LEDs
Status LED Description
Sync For E1 testing:
Green
– Solid—A signal is present and synchronization is established
on all active receivers.
– Flashing—Auto-framing is running on at least one active
receiver.
Red
– At least one of the active receivers does not have frame syn-
chronization.
Off
– No signal has been detected on any receiver.
For Datacom testing:
Green
– Solid—A receive clock is present.
Red
– Solid—A receive clock was present at some point in the past,
but was lost.
Off
– No receive clock has been detected on any receiver.
Data/LpBK Green
– Solid—Synchronization is established with BERT pattern for all
active receivers.
– Flashing—Auto-pattern is running on at least one active
receiver.
Red
– At least one of the active receivers does not have pattern syn-
chronization.
Amber
– For E1 testing: The E1 Tester has been placed in a line loop-
back mode.
Off
– The E1 Tester is not in a line loopback mode, which means the
selected traffic pattern is live on all active receivers, or no pat-
tern synchronization has been detected on the receiver.
Err/Alm Red
– Flashing —The LED flashes for one second when an error or
alarm occurs. Or, for E1 testing, flashes when the unit is
searching for framing or a pattern during Auto Config.
Amber
– At least one error or alarm has occurred since that last reset.
Off
– All Summary results are OK. No error or alarm has been
received.

The LCD is a 320 x 240 pixel color display with contrast control and backlight.
Use the Cancel key to exit a data entry screen without changing your settings,
or to return to the previous menu.
Use OK to accept a changed setting or to proceed to the next menu.
Use the arrow keys to navigate through menu selections. For E1 testing, when
viewing the test results, use the left or right arrow key to switch between Rx1
and Rx2 result screens. For Datacom testing, in monitor mode use the left or
right arrow to switch between DCE and DTE.
Use the keypad to enter numbers, make menu selections, enter alphabetic
characters, and so on. Throughout the menus, the numbers associated with
each function provide a quick way to perform tests with simple number
sequences.
Use the *Action key to insert errors or alarms during testing.

8 SmartClass E1 Tester User’s Guide
Use the #Start key to restart your test and transmit traffic immediately after you
configure your test. After starting the test, the unit automatically displays test
results associated with your application.
Use the backlight key to adjust the brightness level on your LCD. The SmartClass E1 provides four brightness levels on the LCD. Pressing the backlight
key once increases the brightness by one level. The brightness level returns to
the original level when you press the backlight key the fourth time.
Use the power key to turn power ON (see “Powering ON your unit” on
page 10), put the unit into sleep mode, or turn power OFF (see “Powering OFF
your unit” on page 10).

Use the RJ-48 jacks (labeled RX1/TX1 and RX2/Ext Clk) to connect to E1
circuits. See Table 5 on page 4 for cables that are available for the SmartClass
E1 Tester.
The RS232 connector is only used on the SmartClass E1/Datacomm configuration. It is used to connect to network elements when using the optional
VT-100 emulation feature.
The right side panel has a universal connector, shown in Figure 3, that is used
to connect to Datacom circuits

Using the keypad
Using the keypad
Use the keypad to enter alpha-numeric values, or to navigate to different
screens by specifying the menu number corresponding to the screen. When
entering alpha-numeric values for a test setting:
– The left arrow positions the cursor one position to the left.
– The down arrow operates as a Backspace key, and typically clears the
character one position to the left of the cursor. If the cursor is on the first
character of a text entry field, the down arrow deletes the first character.
– If you are entering text, the up arrow serves as a Caps Lock key.
