Alarm Conditions
(Overview)
NBX NetSet utility. The Line and Payload loopback tests must be initiated
by the Central Office or by test equipment emulating Central Office
equipment. For more information on enabling loopback tests, see
Loopback Tests" on page
After you complete the configuration, and with the loopback connector
in place, verify that the Nominal status light (3C10165C E1 card or
3C10116C T1 card) on the front panel of the Digital Line Card is turned
on (appears steady and green). For the 3C10165D E1 card and
3C10116D T1 card, make sure the CO status light is green.
If the Nominal or CO status light does not turn on, the problem is
most likely in the Digital Line Card, and you should contact your 3Com
Voice-Authorized Partner to report the problem.
If the Nominal or CO light turns on, the problem is either in the CSU
(Channel Service Unit) or in the telephone company's line. Contact the
telephone company for assistance.
The 3C10165D E1 Card and the 3C10116D T1 card each have an
onboard CSU. You can view CSU statistics for the card through the NBX
NetSet utility. For more information see
