LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the HiGain Solitaire Monitor screen or use the MODE and SEL
buttons. The inband codes below can also be sent by a test set.
For more information about the HiGain Solitaire HDSL2 maintenance screens, refer
to the H2TU-C-388 List 1E technical practice, section number 152-388-115-xx. This
practice can be downloaded from the Customer Site portion of the ADC Web page at
www.pairgain.com. A password is required for access to the Customer Site Web pages.
If you do not have a password, contact your ADC sales representative.

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.
