LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the HiGain maintenance terminal screen or use the MODE
and SEL buttons. The inband codes below (except COLB, DxLB, and RULB) can also be
sent by a test set.
For more detailed information about the HiGain HDSL2 screens, provisioning, and
loopback testing, refer to the H2TU-C-388 List 1 user manual, catalog number
152-388-105-xx. It can be downloaded from the ADC Web site at www.adc.com.

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.

ACQ The multiplexers of the H2TU-C-388 List 1 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.
