OPTIONS
Aside from power source and ground terminations, there are no option selections associated with the
NIU3 standalone housing.
TURN-UP
When power is applied, the NIU3 STATUS LED turns ON red while the unit performs a self test during
which the other LEDs go through an ON/OFF sequence. If the test passes, the STATUS LED turns ON
green indicating the NIU3 is online. If the test fails, the STATUS LED remains red and the host circuit
board bypass relays (patent pending) maintain data flow around the NIU3.
OPERATION
The NIU3 standalone host circuit board exchanges data to and from the network loop and customer
loop via the BNC connectors. During operation the NIU3 is transparent to data flow. If the NIU3 fails
or is removed from the circuit, relays on the standalone host circuit board provide passthrough
transmission so data flow can resume.
In the event of circuit trouble, test equipment at the central office can monitor the loop. When a
loopback is initiated, the transmit/receive paths can be tested to the customer interface. NIU3
troubleshooting tests are intrusive to data transmission.
LED Indication
There are no LEDs on the standalone housing. However, NIU3 LEDs provide indication for NIU3 and
standalone housing configuration and status.
MAINTENANCE
The NIU3 standalone housing does not require maintenance for normal operation.
