LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the HiGain maintenance menus. The inband codes shown
below can be sent by a test set.

CONFIGURATION SWITCH DESCRIPTION
The H2TU-C-202 has a dip switch bank containing eight switches (located on the board).
The switches are shown in the figure below and are described in detail in the Switch
Descriptions table below.
For more detailed information about the HiGain HDSL2 screens, provisioning, and
loopback testing, refer to the H2TU-C-202 List 1E user manual, catalog number
152-202-115-xx. It can be downloaded from the ADC Web site at www.adc.com.

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.
BRG Provides non-intrusive bridging jack
access to (IN) and from (OUT) the
HDSL2 span at the DSX-1 interface.
Allows monitoring of the T1 payloads.
