TR DDS-DP Trouble Code
The TR DDS‐DP system provides a quick diagnosis in the case of a circuit condition where
continuity is broken. The trouble code type received by a tester determines whether the open
condition is occurring on the local loop or at the customer premises. In the event of a 2‐wire
DSL loss of signal, loss of sync, or an open condition caused by an open conductor or discon‐
nected 2‐wire loop, the TR DDS‐DP transmits an alternating MOS (9Ah)/ASC (9Eh) trouble
code into the network as shown in Figure 3. During a similar Out‐of‐Service condition at the
customer premises, the Total Reach OCU‐R transmits an ASC (9Eh) upstream into the
network
TR DDS-DP Bidirectional Loopback Support
The TR DDS‐DP will execute a bidirectional loopback when performing a DS0 loopback at the
TR DDS‐DP as shown in Figure 4. During a bidirectional loopback the DDS‐R enables test
data to pass through the 4‐wire interface to the customer site. This allows a standard portable
test set at the customer site to verify the integrity of both the 4‐wire and 2‐wire loops by trans‐
mitting a test pattern to the TR DDS‐DP and examining the returning data for synchronization
and errors.
A bidirectional loopback and pass‐through is shown in Figure 5. During a bidirectional
loopback initiated at the TR DDS‐DP the DDS‐R CUST LBK LED will flash.
