simultaneously and are still configurable without the loss of synchronization. Autodetection of the DSL service
and automated measurements on the copper pair allow fast and efficient work.
Fast multi-tasking operating
After a successful synchronization line values or graphs are shown on the large 3.5 " sunlight readable color
display. Waiting periods or complicated and time-consuming switching between menu items and views belong
to the past. The selection keys provide an easy exchange between the DSL line parameters, their impact on the
application layers, results of Up/Download tests, Ping and Trace Route plus VoIP and IPTV parameters. The
Multitester are likely to be used as a PC, with real multitasking functionality the user can scroll between the
windows. Without the loss of the current synchronization, other parameters or tests can be added and thus
enables fast, easy and comprehensive diagnosis.

Information LEDs
The KE 3500 has five LEDs that display a range of important but easy-to-use information about the current
status of the device. From left to right the LEDs mean:
DSL CRC – orange
This LED lights when a CRC (checksum error) near end or far end is recognized. These errors (fewer than 10)
can arise after a connection has been established. In any case, check if the counter is still counting to
determine if other causes (faults) exist. You can access the error counter menu in the respective test menu.
DSL LOSS – orange
After a connection is established in non-resync mode, a DSL loss event is displayed here and also signaled
with an intermittent tone for 10 seconds. The tone can be stopped by pressing SEL once.
DSL L1 – green
When the KE3500 is activated in xDSL Mode, this LED begins to flash at 2 Hz to signal Ready Status. It is
waiting for a carrier. As soon as this is detected LED flashes at 4 Hz until the connection is established, and then
it is lit steadily as long as the connection exists.
BATT CHRG – green and red
This display is active even when the KE3500 is turned off. The green LED indicates that the power supply or
charger is inserted and is supplying power. The red LED signals that the battery is in charging mode. This
produces a green/red or orange display during charging. Once controlled charging is complete, the red LED
turns off and only the green LED lights to signal that the power supply or automatic charger is still active and
that charging is complete. However, this does not necessarily mean that the battery is fully charged!
The power supply enables the KE3500 to be charged and operated SIMULTANEOUSLY. The car charger only
charges the battery.
Switching On
The KE3500 works with an operating system that has to be
booted. The boot menu with various device parameters
such as the hardware and software versions appears at the
end of the booting process. After this you can bring up the
main menu immediately by pressing any button.

Saving Measurements
You can save the data during the measurement by pressing
the SEL button. A window opens where you can enter the
memory as a name or number. After confirmation with SEL,
the measurement is stored in the internal memory.
After entering and confirming by selecting the character, this
measurement is saved with the name or number you entered.
Very useful is a specification, for example with Customers
name or telephone number. The limitation is given only by the
internal memory (2 GB). However, you should ensure that the
stored data is regularly downloaded and deleted. The deletion
is easily possible with the supplied KE-Manager.
QR code generation
When you press the "7" key a QR code is calculated from a
portion of the displayed data. This is then displayed on the
screen and can be read with appropriate readers.
Profiles
All parameters can also be created in the profiles menu from
the KE-Manager. The profiles are then called to load and save
profiles using the menu item. The loaded data can always be
revised as described previously or changed. The change is
only until they leave the test is valid if it is not saved before.

Router Mode
Connection of the KE3500 to the xDSL port and to the PC.
Replaces the modem and the router. See the Menu
Structure for possible settings.
In Ping mode, the KE3500, after the Ping test was
successfully performed used as a router. This means that
via the Ethernet interface, Internet access can be
performed.
Modem Mode (Bridge Modus)
Connection of the KE3500 to the xDSL port and to the PC.
Replaces the modem. See the Menu Structure for
possible settings. This mode is intended as a replacement
modem mode. The Ethernet interface is connected by
smooth here (bridge or through mode), and is now the
DSL port on the terminal. Now the KE3500 can be
employed as a full modem, both ADSL and VDSL in mode
can be employed. This makes it possible to draw
conclusion errors. Save the measurement with SEL, exit
with ESC. The Ethernet interface is transparently
switched to have the modem functions.
Terminal Mode <Ethernet>
Connection to the Ethernet interface of a modem / router
or a hub / switch. See the Menu Structure for possible
settings for Ping, Trace route, HTTP download, FTP
download and FTP upload

KE-Manager
The KE-Manager is a flexible tool to manage the
KE3500 and download the data of the
measurements. The KE-Manager is like the
KE3500 very clearly designed and largely intuitive
and comes with the included CD-ROM (or Kurth
Electronic Homepage).
Setup of the PC
When installing the KE-Manager, the user must
have administrative rights and possibly turn off the
virus protection and the Windows Firewall.
Connection to the PC
The KE3600 can be connected directly via the
device management port to the Ethernet port of the
PC. Optimally, however, is the use of an available
Ethernet interface on the same network, so the PC
can remain in the network. It will automatically
determine an IP address (UPnP address) and the
KE3500 appears with the IP address and serial
number in the select list of the KE-Manager.
Opening the KE-Manager
Click on the KE-Manager icon on your PC desktop.
The KE-Manager starts and displays by various
colors on the connection status to the PC. If there
are problems getting a connection to the device
you can use the option Reset Management IF in
the Setup menu.
The green coloured background indicates the
established connection.You are now ready to
control KE3600 through the KE-Manager.

Changing the LiPo Battery
The decreasing battery charge is clearly identifiable on the display provided that the initial adjustment was
done during first start-up.
The battery can be charged, the charge control display red LED goes off, but the battery display still will not
show full. As long as the displayed capacity does not go under 50%, the KE3500 can be safely used; it only
has to be charged more frequently. If the display goes below 50%, you need to change the battery. You can
either send in the device and the battery will be changed for a fee, or you can order a replacement battery.
Changing the battery
First remove the two lower compartment screws. Pull the bottom downward. The battery is in a plastic holder
in the bottom part and it is plugged into the board with a plug protected against polarity reversal. After the
housing is opened, this must be pulled out. Insert the new battery and securely fasten the holder. Plug the
connection cable into the board and screw on the housing. Make sure to only hand-tighten the housing
screws.
