Radio. Record the results.Example readout is below with expected results/ specifications:
Receiver Number = 1 2 3
SGC Attenuation (dB) = 4 4 4
Sync Location (1/10 symb)= 50 42 27
Sync.
Total Bits/Msgs = 4320 4320 4320
Bits/Msgs in Error = 4 1965 1904
BER/MER (%) = 1.593 45.486 44.074
RSSI (dBm) = -117 -121 -131
BER value is below 4% and RSSI is within the acceptable range.
Type ppr –orxch1 –a1 –r200 to check for small peaks of interference. Record the results.

• BR Application:
Type get alarms
This command displays all alarms for this Base Radio together with its current states
(active/inactive).
• BR Test Application:
Type alarms -ofault_hndlr
This command displays all the all active alarms on the Base Radio.
When using Test Application, the fault management engine can be disabled.
In such case no alarms will be visible.
• To display current FM state:
dev> fme -ofault_hndlr
• To enable FM:
dev> fme -ofault_hndlr -son
• To disable FM:
dev> fme -ofault_hndlr -soff
