Item Name

Type

Function

A

DIG

Pushbutton

The Digital Loopback switch causes the local ASM-20 to loop

received data and clock back to its transmitter. Data Set Ready
will turn off (see

Figure 4-5

).

B

ANA

Pushbutton

The Analog Loopback (V.54 Loop 3) switch causes the local
ASM-20 to loop its transmitter output back to its receiver (see

Figure 4-3

). This loopback may also be activated from the DTE

when DTE COMMAND ALB strap is set to EN.

C

REM

Pushbutton

The Remote Digital Loopback (V.54 Loop 2) switch causes the

remote ASM-20 to loop received data and clock to its
transmitter (see

Figure 4-4

). Data Set Ready will turn off. This

loopback may be also activated from the terminal when DTE
COMMAND RLB strap is set to RLB EN.

D

PATT

Pushbutton

The PATT switch causes the ASM-20 to send and receive a 511
test pattern. If errors are encountered,, the ERROR LED is ON

or blinks. Receive Data and Clear to Send will turn off.
Note

: The CARRIER jumper should be set to ON; if set to

CNTRL, the RTS signal must be high.

E

RPF RESET Pushbutton

Resets ERR/RPF LED (only available in ASM-20/R).

LED Indicator

ERR: Yellow LED goes ON momentarily when PATT switch is
activated and then goes out. If there are errors in the test

pattern, the LED blinks or remains ON.

RPF: Indicates power failure in remote standalone units
