Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: transmitting, by a computing device and to a user terminal, a first set of equalization coefficients and a parameter indicating that the user terminal is to replace a second set of equalization coefficients with the first set of equalization coefficients; receiving, by the computing device and from the user terminal, a communication having distortion compensation based, at least in part, on the first set of equalization coefficients; determining, by the computing device, a third set of equalization coefficients associated with the communication; determining, by the computing device, a location of an error source relative to a location of the user terminal based, at least in part, on the third set of equalization coefficients; and in response to determining that the first set of equalization coefficients does not match the third set of equalization coefficients within a threshold amount, determining that the error occurred at one or more of the computing device or the user terminal.
