1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

The present document defines the test procedures to apply during the final factory
inspection by the customer or its representative.

The aim of the following tests is to check that the required features are implemented on the
network; this is mainly demonstrated through functional testing.

These acceptance tests mainly consist to verify previous tests carried out by our technicians
during equipment and system control and tuning.

1.2 Reference document

- e-terragridcom DXC Technical Manual

- e-terragridcom DXC Design File

1.3 Sampling
Once the configuration has been checked during integration steps, the customer is invited
for the Factory Acceptance Test, during which the enclosed tests are performed and
repeated on a sampling basis.
The proposed sampling is 10% for each category of tests or circuits with a minimum of one.

2. TEST PROCEDURE AND RESULT SHEET

The test document to be used in factory is organized on several sheets. Each sheet
corresponds to all information related to one test and includes:

 required test equipment

 test set -up
 test results

The final filled document can include several test sheets of the same type in order to comply
with the sampling rate.

Note: In the following test sheets:

 PDH indicates the e-terragridcom DXC equipment.

 2.1 Tests Definitions

1. The tests are performed as close as possible to the user terminal access
(i.e. Cubicle SDF)

2. The technical details about Functionality, Input/Output design, or extended

product information are recorded in the relevant Product Technical Manuals.
These details are therefore not reproduced in the present document.

3. The validity of tests is linked to the acceptance criteria respect as tolerance.

4. All tests are carried out at nominal power supply level (-48VDC), unless
specified specifically in the procedure.

5. Results are recorded in the associated System test report.

2.2 Test Equipments

The main tests instruments are listed hereafter:

 BER Test
 Physical Loop
 Telephone test
 Selective Level Meter
 AF Generator
 Multimeter
 Laptop
 Ethernet Tester EXFO, ETS-1000
 Ethernet Loop Back EXFO, ETS-1000L

3. Preliminary Configuration File

The configuration parameters of the equipment under test are recorded and checked.

The relevant parameters include e-terragridcom DXC:

 Serial numbers,
 Board Layout & Configuration,
 Console or Slip setting,
 Telnet with IP configuration setting.

4. Preliminary Control

The operator checks the conformity of cubicle layout and the accessories based on the
concerned integration drawing, the equipment version, reads the serial numbers, and
performs visual control of the equipment.

 5.3 2 wires AF circuit (FXO-FXS)

5.3.1 Test procedure:

 Set E1 port with framing CAS ON/CRC ON (PDH A & PDH B)
 Route a voice TS from FXO port to E1 port on PDH A
 Route a voice TS from FXS port to E1 port on PDH B
 Connect the generator to the FXO box, then use a wires RJ11 cable
(middle pin 2 & 3) to plug the FXO card on PDH A
 Send 1020 Hz / 0 dBm signal on the FXO card using signal generator.
 Measure the outgoing signal from the FXS card it should be around -7
dBm (+/- 1 dBm).
