LOOPBACK TESTING
Initiate loopback testing from the 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 HDSL2 maintenance screens, refer to the
H2TU-C-231 List 1E technical practice, document number 152-231-115-xx. Copies of this
