LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the maintenance menus or use the MODE and SEL
pushbuttons. The inband codes shown below can be sent by a test set.
MODE and SEL pushbuttons (for manual
setting of system parameters)
DSX-1 test access jacks
Card handle
Status LED
Four-character display
Displays status, provisioning, and
alarm messages. See tables below
for a list of message descriptions.
Reports the following conditions:
Use MODE and SEL to manually modify user options,
initiate loopbacks, and display DSX-1 line parameters.
Connect standard test equipment.
Craft port provisioning
To access all system maintenance, provisioning and
performance screens, connect a standard 9-pin terminal cable
between the serial port on a PC and the H2TU-C craft port.
1Press the MODE pushbutton for 1 second and release.
The front panel alternately displays the first system
parameter and its current setting.
2Press SEL to step through all possible settings for
the displayed parameter.
3Press MODE to update the parameter and advance
to the next parameter.
4After scrolling through all the parameters, press SEL
to confirm changes when prompted with a CONF NO
message, or press MODE to cancel all changes.
LINE Provides splitting jack access to (IN)
and from (OUT) the HDSL2 span at
the DSX-1 interface.

Front-Panel Alarm Messages(a)
(a) Front-panel alarm messages are listed in order of priority. ALRM displays prior to any alarm message.
Pressing the SEL pushbutton initiates an Alarm Cutoff (ACO) message.
Message Description
PWR FEED SHRT (b)
(b) Message displays repeatedly as long as the alarm condition exists, and is not included in the priority order.
A short between the Tip and Ring of the HDSL2 pair.
PWR FEED GND (b) The HDSL2 loop is grounded.
PWR FEED OPEN (b) A line power open condition.
SPNn-LOSW The HDSL2 loop has lost sync. The span closest to the network has highest priority.
LLOS No signal is detected at the DSX-1 input to the H2TU-C.
RLOS No signal is detected at the DS1 input to the H2TU-R.
LAIS (c)
(c) Does not activate the system alarm on pin H.
Line Alarm Indication Signal.
RAIS (c) Remote Alarm Indication Signal.
LRAI (c) An RAI alarm (yellow LED) from the CPE with an error-free signal from the line unit
or network.
RRAI(c) Indicates an RAI alarm (yellow LED) from the CPE with errors from the line unit or
network.
xxx-LOF The DS1 input does not containthe ESF or SF frame pattern setting of the FRMG option.
(xxx denotes either TUC or TUR.)
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.
