4. HDSL SYSTEM TESTING
The ADTRAN HDSL system provides extensive
ability to monitor the status and performance of the
DSX-1 signals, DS1 signals, and HDSL loop
signals. Detailed performance monitoring is
provided by the faceplate-mounted RS-232 Control
Port.
These features are valuable in troubleshooting and
isolating any system level problems that may occur
at installation or during operation of the HDSL
system.
HTU-C Loopbacks
The HTU-C responds to two different loopback
activation processes. First, loopback may be
commanded manually using the control port
interface. Figure 11 depicts the Loopback Options
Screen which provides for HTU-C, HTU-R and
HRE loopbacks.
Secondly, the HTU-C responds to the industry
defacto standard for HDSL loopbacks. A detailed
description of these loopback sequences is given in
Appendix A.
The loopback condition imposed in both cases is a
logic level loopback at the point within the HTU-C
where the DSX-1 signal passes into the HDSL
modulators. Figure 5 depicts all the loopback
locations possible with ADTRAN HDSL
equipment.
In addition to network-side loopbacks, the HTU-C
provides customer-side loopbacks initiated by using
the terminal control port. In this mode, an AIS
signal is supplied to the network.
