LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the maintenance menus or use the MODE and SEL
pushbuttons. The in-band codes shown below can be sent by a test set.

RS-232 Craft port
The Bantam 210 jack provides bidirectional communication
between the H2TU-C and a maintenance terminal
for access to maintenance, provisioning, and
performance screens. Use jack adapter 120-1035-01
to connect a standard 9-pin terminal cable between the
serial port on a PC and the H2TU-C craft port.

Loopback In-Band Code Description
NLOC 1111000 DSX-1 signal is looped back to the network at the H2TU-C.
NREM 1110000 DSX-1 signal is looped back to the network at the H2TU-R.
SMJK 11000 DSX-1 signal is looped back to the network at the H2TU-R SmartJack
module.
CREM 1111110 DS1 signal from customer is looped back to the customer at the H2TU-C.

Loopdown 11100 Deactivates any of the above loopbacks.
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 (listed in priority order)
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.
LOSW The HDSL2 loop has lost synchronization.
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 Line Alarm Indication Signal.
RAIS Remote Alarm Indication Signal.
LRAI An RAI condition is detected at the remote and the signal from the line unit is
error-free.
RRAI An RAI alarm (yellow) from the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) with errors from
the line unit or network.
xxx-LOF DS1 input does not contain ESF or SF frame pattern setting of the FRMG option. (xxx
denotes either TUC or TUR.)
xxx-DBER A system DS1 Bit Error Rate (BER) alarm. (xxx denotes either TUC or TUR.)
PRMF H2TU-R Performance Report Messaging BER threshold exceeded at far end.
PRMN 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-388 List 2 DSX-1 output ports to the
cross-connect panel must be grounded at both ends.

Front Panel Diagnostic Messages (normal operating messages in bold)
Display Code Description (normal operating messages in bold)
A=xx(a)
(a) Normal operating range.
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.
FLDL Flash download of firmware updates. (Contact Customer Service for update procedures.)
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(a) 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 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.

other on the HDSL2 loop.
