  • Page 9: Background

    DACS II Operation and Maintenance Manual Background Introduction This chapter describes the DACS II features incorporated into Release 8.2.6. The two features included in this release are: Remote Loopback - the looping of individual DS1/E1 tributaries embedded in an HDS3 signal for path maintenance and troubleshooting.

  • Page 10: Remote Loopback Feature

    DS1/E1 signal to a remote loopback request from a remote multiplexer. Remote Loopback The activation of a loopback signal at the local multiplexer (the DACS II KCR8 HMXR circuit pack) will cause a DS1/EI facility to loopback at the remote Operation multiplexer (far end equipment).

  • Page 11: Remote Loopback Process

    365-353-255 Release 8.2.6 Features DACS II Operation and Maintenance Manual Remote Loopback Feature (Continued) Remote Loopback The following process, illustrated in Figure 1-1, is used to set up the Remote Loopback test: Process The local multiplexer activates the Remote Loopback signal.

    365-353-255 Release 8.2.6 Features DACS II Operation and Maintenance Manual GT 1.1: Activating a Remote Loopback Test When to use Use this task to activate a remote loopback test for DS1/E1 tributaries within a Hybrid DS3 signal. A test signal is sent from the local multiplexer to the remote multiplexer, and looped back to the local multiplexer to check the multiplexers at both ends and the facility between them.

  • Page 13: Gt 1.2: Deactivating A Remote Loopback Test

    365-353-255 Release 8.2.6 Features DACS II Operation and Maintenance Manual GT 1.2: Deactivating a Remote Loopback Test When to use Use this task to deactivate a remote loopback test. Before you begin You must have an existing remote loopback test in progress.

  • Page 14: Rai Alarm Suppression Feature

    365-353-255 Release 8.2.6 Features DACS II Operation and Maintenance Manual RAI Alarm Suppression Feature Overview The Remote Alarm Indicator (RAI) Alarm Suppression feature provides a way of suppressing the individual DS1/E1 tributary alarms when a DS3 “Yellow Alarm” is detected by the DS3 HMXR card. These individual alarm messages add no new information and quite frequently overload the system with redundant messages.

  • Page 15: Gt 1.3: Changing The Delay For Ds3 Alarm Messages

    365-353-255 Release 8.2.6 Features DACS II Operation and Maintenance Manual GT 1.3: Changing the Delay for DS3 Alarm Messages When to use Use this task to change the delay (alarm activate integration) time for issuing DS3 alarms. This delay is the duration between the onset of the DS3 failure and the time when the alarm is displayed.
