3M™ Dynatel™ Advanced Modular System 965AMS Measurement Functions
POTS
Tests available with the POTS key include Loss, Noise,
Longitudinal Balance, Load Coil Counter, Caller ID, Ringers,
and Level Trace.
POTS>Loss
Use Loss to measure the loss from the far-end of a circuit to the
near-end using a precision tone between 200 Hz and 20kHz.
Note: You must use a device at the far end to generate the tone.
This could be the milliwatt number in the central office or an
965AMS set to the tone mode.

standard telephone.
If you have a
combination milliwatt
and quiet line, enter
the number 3 as the
telephone number. This
will provide the proper
termination for the
