alarm messages. See tables below
for a list of message descriptions.
Use MODE and SEL to manually modify user options,
initiate loopbacks, and display DSX-1 line parameters.
Connect standard test equipment.
Craft port provisioning
To access all system maintenance, provisioning
and performance screens, connect a standard
9-pin terminal cable between the serial port on a PC
and the H2TU-C craft port.

the displayed parameter.
Press MODE to update the parameter and advance
to the next parameter.
After scrolling through all the parameters, press SEL
to confirm changes when prompted with a CONF NO
message, or press MODE to cancel all changes.

(a) System alarm messages are listed in order of priority. ALRM displays prior to any alarm message. Pressing
the SEL button initiates an Alarm CutOff (ACO) message.
LOSW The HDSL2 loop has lost sync.
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 (b)
(b) Does not activate the alarm relay access pin H.
Local AIS Input Signal detected.
RAIS (b) Remote AIS Input Signal detected.
LRAI (b) An RAI condition is detected at the remote and the signal from the line unit is error-free.
RRAI (b) An RAI (yellow) alarm from the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) with a failure from
the network.
DBER (b) A system DS1 Bit Error Rate (BER) alarm.
PRMF (b) H2TU-R Performance Report Messaging BER threshold exceeded at far end.
PRMN (b) H2TU-R Performance Report Messaging BER threshold exceeded at near end.
HBER A system HDSL2 Block Error Rate (BER) alarm.
MAL The margin on the HDSL2 loop has dropped below the threshold setting.
LA The attenuation on the HDSL2 loop has exceeded the maximum threshold value.
LINE-POWER ALARM MESSAGES (c)
(c) Line-power alarm messages display repeatedly as long as the alarm condition exists and are not included
in the priority order of the system alarm messages.
PWR FEED
SHRT A short between the Tip and Ring of the HDSL2 pair.
PWR FEED
GND The HDSL2 loop is grounded.

AnL The multiplexersof the two devices on Span n are trying to establish synchronization with
each other, where nis the number of the span.
