QDFR Loopbacks FIBER LINE UNIT MAINTENANCE MODES This appendix describes operation of the optical fiber system with regard to detection of in- band and ESF facility data link loopback codes. Upon deactivation of a loopback, the T1 channel interface will synchronize automatically. Each T1 channel is independent of the others.
Quad Fiber Remote (QDFR) Unit Installation and Maintenance Practice Loopback Control Codes A summary of control sequences is given in of 5 seconds to be detected and acted upon. In all control code sequences presented, the in-band codes are shown left-most bit transmitted first, and the ESF data link codes with right-most bit transmitted first.
