A1LB, A2LB, and A5LB Test Procedures

Using the codes listed in
enabled). A tester at the customer premises can activate CLOC or CREM loopbacks.
Following Table 21 is a step-by-step test procedure for verifying the integrity of the HDSL2 channels at every
module location as well as the DS1 channels to the customer and the local DSX-1 interface.

IOR POWER DOWN (H2TU-C)
(a) The leftmost bit arrives first in all sequences. The detection algorithm functions reliably with a random 10
on the facility. The entire arming and loopback sequence can also be initiated at the remote H2TU-R location.
(b) The H2TU-R identifies CREM (and the H2TU-C identifies NLOC) with 231 bit errors, excluding the frame bits. When framed
data is being sent in the AUTO framing mode, the number of the 231 bit errors detected by the test set varies from 229 to 231,
depending on whether or not the test set counts frame errors as bit errors, and on the number of frame bits contained in the
block of 231 error bits. The H2TU-R and H2TU-C generate this bit pattern in a series of discontinuous bursts containing 20-bit
errors each, excluding frame bits. Those test sets that do not count frame error bits as data bit errors will indicate fewer bits than
the H2TU-R and H2TU-C transmit for a CI and NI loopback.
(c) The H2TU-R is assigned the ILR-2 loopback code. It responds with 20 bit errors (excluding the frame bits).
(d) Allows the NIU Activate Command that originates at the H2TU-R to pass through uninhibited toward the network and is always
enabled. No option to disable.
(e) The IOR Power Down code must remain present for the duration of the powerdown mode. When this code is removed, the
HiGain system returns to its normal unlooped and unarmed state.
