Section 150-611-103 Revision 01 9.03 GNLB is the HiGain-2 Generic loopback DS1 interface. All looped states are terminated code. The GNLB allows 4 in 7 or 6 in 7 in- (looped-down) with the 3 in 5 loop-down code. All band codes to loop-up the HLU (NLOC or CREM commands must be present for 5 seconds before HiGain-2 responds.
