Sending a V.54/ANSI FT1
Activation/Deactivation

"

Procedure

To send a V.54 or ANSI FT1 Activation or

Deactivation loopback sequence to the far-end DSU/CSU:

1. From the top-level menu screen, select Test.

2. From the Test screen, select Rlpbk.

3. From the Rem Loopback screen, press the

function key that corresponds to the specific
loopback test you want to perform. Use the scroll
keys, if necessary.

F1

Rem Loopback:
LLBUP LLBDN 54UP

F2

F3

The 54UP, 54DN, FT1UP, and FT1DN commands
send the requested sequence out the network
interface on the DS0 channels allocated to Port 1.

The sequence is sent to the far-end DSU/CSU.
During this time, Sending appears on Line 2 of
the LCD, followed by Command Complete when
the sequence is complete.

During the Sending message, you can press the

and

keys without affecting transmission

of the loopback sequence.

Local Loopback Tests

The Local Loopback tests enable you to conduct circuit

testing and fault isolation for the digital line. The
supported local loopback tests are:

Line Loopback

(LLB)

Payload Loopback

(PLB)

Repeater Loopback

(RLB)

Data Channel Loopback

(DCLB)

Data Terminal Loopback

(DTLB)

The Line Loopback command can be activated and

deactivated in response to commands received over the
network interface. The Network Interface configuration
option NET LLB controls whether the DSU/CSU
responds to the commands transmitted on the network
interface to initiate LLBs (see Appendix C,

Configuration

Options

).

The data port configuration option NET DCLB

controls whether the DSU/CSU responds to inband V.54
commands to initiate DCLB for that port (see
Appendix C,

Configuration Options

).

Local loopback tests can be aborted (Abort Command)

at any time.

No more than two local loopbacks can be active at any

one time. An additional restriction prohibits certain
loopbacks from running at the same time. Valid loopback
combinations listed in Table 4-5 are identified by YES.
