H4TU-C-319 List 1
To perform the GNLB loopback test procedure:
1
Have the CO tester send the NREM (3-in-7) inband loopup code for 5 seconds. You should observe the
NREM message on the front-panel display. (The Status LED on the front panel should be green, and the
loopback mode should also be identified on the Monitor screen.)
2
Have the CO tester transmit a DS1 test signal towards the H4TU-C and verify that the returned (looped) signal
to the test set is error-free.
3
If step 2 fails, have the CO tester transmit the (3-in-5) inband loopdown code.
4
Have the CO tester send the NLOC (4-in-7) inband loopup for 5 seconds. You should observe the NLOC
message on the front-panel display. (The Status LED on the front panel should be yellow, and the loopback
mode should also be identified on the Monitor screen.)
5
Repeat Step 2. If the test passes, the problem is in the downstream direction. If it fails, the problem is in the
upstream direction.
A3LB Test Procedure
The H4TU-C-319 can be looped back by sending the Addressable Office Repeater (AOR) LPBK activation code
1111-1111-0001-1110 (FF1E) for at least 5 seconds. This causes the H4TU-C to enter the NLOC state. The
Loopback Time-Out setting (see
“Setting the Loopback Time-Out Option (LBTO)” on page 48
) determines the
duration of this loopback unless it is overridden by the reception of a second identical 16-bit loopup command
before the timer expires. When this time-out override state exists, the only way to loop the H4TU-C down is to
issue one of the three loopdown commands listed in
. The automatic time-out mode is restored during
subsequent loopback sessions.
summarizes the codes required to execute an A3LB Addressable Repeater Loopback command. All code
sequences must be present for at least 5 seconds.
