Test Commands

The test commands enable you to run loopbacks and

LEDs. These tests can help you isolate areas of trouble if
you are having problems with your E1 NTU.

To access all Test commands from the Test branch,

press F2 to select Test from the top-level menu screen.

Remote Loopback Tests

The Remote Loopback tests enable you to troubleshoot

your circuit by sending the following to a far-end device:

Data channel loopback up (DCLBUP) activation
sequence to initiate a V.54 Loop 2

Data channel loopback down (DCLBDN)
deactivation sequence to terminate a V.54 Loop 2

You cannot perform remote loopbacks if any of the

local loopbacks are active. If you attempt to do so, the
error message Invld Test Combo (Invalid Test
Combination) appears.

To send a Data Channel Activation or Deactivation

loopback sequence to the far-end device,

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

2. From the Test screen, select Rlpbk.

The DCLBUP and DCLBDN commands send the

the DS0 channels allocated to the port you select
here.

Function key to select the specific port. Use the
scroll keys, if necessary.

After you select a port, the sequence is sent to the
far-end device. 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.
