from the line unit or network.
xxx-DBER (c) A system DS1 Bit Error Rate (BER) alarm. (xxx denotes either TUC or TUR.)
PRMF (c) H2TU-R Performance Report Messaging BER threshold exceeded at far end.
PRMN (c) H2TU-R Performance Report Messaging BER threshold exceeded at near end.
xxx-HBER A system HDSL2 Block Error Rate (BER) alarm. (xxx denotes either TUC or TUR.)
xxx-MAL The margin on the HDSL2 loop has dropped below the threshold setting. (xxx denotes
either TUC or TUR.)
xxx-LA The attenuation on the HDSL2 loop has exceeded the maximum threshold value. (xxx
denotes either TUC or TUR.)
To comply with the intrabuilding wiring requirements of
GR-1089 CORE, Section 4.5.9, the shields of the ABAM-type
cables that connect the H2TU-C-319 List 1E DSX-1 output ports
to the cross-connect panel must be grounded at both ends.

Front-Panel Diagnostic Messages
Display Code Description (normal operating messages in bold)
A=xx The loop attenuation of the longest (maximum loss) span, measured in dB.
ACQ The multiplexers of the H2TU-C and H2TU-R are trying to establish synchronization.
AnL The multiplexers of the two devices on Span n are trying to establish synchronization with
each other, where nis the number of the span.
ARM Armed to respond to Intelligent Repeater Loop (ILR) codes.
BAD RT? The H2TU-C-319 is not receiving a response from the H2TU-R.
FERR A framing bit error occurred at H2TU-C-319 DSX-1 input.
FLDL Flash download of firmware updates. (Contact Customer Service for update procedures.)
HES H2TU-C-319 HDSL2 loop cyclical redundancy check (CRC) error.
LBPV A local bipolar violation has been received at the DSX-1 input to the H2TU-C-319.
M=xx Indicates the power of the received HDSL2 signal relative to noise (S/N with respect to
21.5 dB). Any value of 6 dB or greater is adequate for reliable system operation.
MNGD The H2TU-C-319 is under control of the HMU-319 network management unit.
PWR FEED OFF HDSL2 span power is turned off.
PWR FEED ON Indicates that the HDSL2 loop is not grounded or shorted.
SIG The transceivers of the H2TU-C and H2TU-R are trying to establish contact with each
other on Span 1 of the HDSL2 loop.
SnL The transceivers of the two devices on Span nare trying to establish contact with each
other, where nis the number of the span.
Front-Panel Configuration Options Using MODE and SEL
Display Code Description (default values in bold)
EQL Sets the DSX-1 Equalizer to: 0(0 to 132 ft.), 133 (133 to 265 ft.), 266 (266 to 398 ft.),
399 (399 to 532 ft.), or 533 (533 to 655 ft.).

LPBK Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) SmartJack loopback commands.
FT1 Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) system response to DDS latching loopback commands for
fractional T1 applications.
ADS1 Selects either the DSX-1 (MUX) port as the active source for the DS1 Signal to transmit to the
HSDL Line Port #1, the auxiliary (AUX) DSX-1 Port #2 as the active source for DS1 signal to
transmit to the HDSL Line Port, or activates the Cut-through (CHR) mode. which electrically
connects the MUX port to the AUX port and the H2TU-C operates as a cut-through card.
SPLB xxxx Configures system for generic (GNLB) or special inband loopback commands (A2LB, A3LB, or
A4LB).
PWRF OFF = disables HDSL2 powering; ON = HDSL2 line voltage is -185 Vdc maximum.

PRM OFF = no enhanced Performance Report Messaging; SPRM = Supplemental PRM;
NPRM = Network PRM; S + N = SPRM + NPRM.
NAIS If ALMP is set to AIS, this option specifies which pattern is sent to the network when a remote LOS
or AIS occurs. CI = AIS-CI sent to the network; AIS = AIS sent to the network.
ROVR Enables (ENA) or disables (DIS) conversion of an ESF DS1 payload from the network with an
embedded RAI pattern to an SF-RAI pattern towards the CI at the H2TU-R. CONV option must be
set to FCON or ACON.
