LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the maintenance terminal screen or use the MODE and LBK
pushbuttons. The in-band codes below (except COLB, and RULB) can also be sent by a test
set.

representative.
Craft port provisioning
To access all system maintenance, provisioning,
and performance screens, connect a standard

Mode and LBK pushbutton options
Use the MODE and LBK pushbuttons to review all system
parameters, including user-configured settings, and to
activate loopbacks.
To display system parameters: Press the MODE pushbutton
for at least 3 seconds to place the front-panel display in Scroll
mode.When it has finished scrolling through all the system
parameters, the display returns to its normal mode.
To initiate a dual loopback: Press the LBK pushbutton for
more than 3 seconds to activate both the NLOC and CREM
loopbacks.If a loopback condition already exists, this will
loop down all existing loopbacks.Press the LBK pushbutton
again for more than 3 seconds to reactivate the dual loopback.
To initiate a manual loopback:
DSX-1 access jacks
Connect standard test equipment.
BRG Provides non-intrusive bridging jack
access to (XMT) and from (RCV)
the HDSL2 span at the DSX-1 interface.
Allows monitoring of the DS1 payloads.
1Press both MODE and LBK pushbuttons for at least
5 seconds.The following message appears:
2 Press LBK to activate the NLOC loopback or press
MODE to advance to the next loopback selection.

Front-Panel Diagnostic Messages
Message 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.
ARM Armed to respond to Intelligent Repeater Loop (ILR) codes.
BAD RT? The H2TU-C is not receiving a response from the H2TU-R.
FERR A framing bit error occurred at H2TU-C DSX-1 input.
HES H2TU-C HDSL2 loop cyclical redundancy check (CRC) error.
LBPV A local bipolar violation has been received at the DSX-1 input to the H2TU-C.
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.
