SNMP Traps A trap is an unsolicited message that is sent from the E1 NTU to an SNMP manager when the device detects certain, pre-specified conditions. These traps enable the SNMP manager to monitor the state of the network. The SNMP Trap configuration option must be enabled for trap messages to be sent over the communications link.
ACCULINK 3360, 3364, and 3365 E1 NTU Troubleshooting The E1 NTU is designed to provide you with many years of trouble-free service. However, Table 4-7 gives you some direction if a problem occurs. Symptom Possible Cause No power 1. The power module is not securely attached.
Page 77
Symptom Possible Cause Message DTE is sending an AIS. AIS at DTE appears Message EER at Facility problem. Net appears BPV LED is ON 1. Incompatible line coding format between the DTE and the E1 NTU. 2. G.703 DTE cable problem. A failure message Internal E1 NTU problem.
ACCULINK 3360, 3364, and 3365 E1 NTU Test Jacks Six test jacks are located on the front panel (Figure 4-1). These test jacks allow for four break-in tests and two monitor access points to the E1 NTU. Test jack functions are shown in Figure 4-2 and described in Table 4-8.
Test Commands The test commands enable you to run loopbacks and test patterns on the E1 NTU, and to test the front panel LEDs. These tests can help you isolate areas of trouble if you are having problems with your E1 NTU. To access all Test commands from the Test branch, press F2 to select Test from the top-level menu screen.
ACCULINK 3360, 3364, and 3365 E1 NTU Local Loopback Tests The Local Loopback tests enable you to conduct circuit testing and fault isolation for the digital line. The supported local loopback tests are: Line Loopback (LLB) Payload Loopback (PLB) DTE Loopback (DLB)
Starting a Line Loopback The Line Loopback command (LLB) loops the received signal on the network interface back to the network without change. All ones are transmitted on the G.703 DTE port for the DS0 channels allocated to the network interface. All ones are also transmitted to each synchronous data port allocated to the network interface.
ACCULINK 3360, 3364, and 3365 E1 NTU Starting a DTE Loopback The DTE Loopback command (DLB) loops the received signal on the G.703 DTE port back to the DTE without change. All ones are inserted into the DS0 channels allocated to the G.703 DTE port.
3. From the Loopback screen, press the the RLB selection appears on the screen. Loopback: Abort 4. Select RLB. Loopback: Test Started appears on Line 2. If a Repeater loopback is already in progress, the Already Active message appears. If an invalid combination of loopbacks is in progress, the error message Invld Test Combo appears (see loopback test combinations).
ACCULINK 3360, 3364, and 3365 E1 NTU Starting a Data Terminal Loopback The Data Terminal Loopback command (DTLB) loops the data received from the selected port, for all DS0 channels allocated to the port, back out of the port. This loopback occurs after the data passes through the port circuitry but before it reaches the E1 framer.
4. From the Loopback Abort screen, press the desired Function key to abort All or one specific loopback test. Use the scroll keys, if necessary. Loopback: Abort If you select ALL, LLB, PLB, DLB, or RLB, skip Step 5. 5. From the Abort screen, press the Function key that corresponds to the port for which you want to abort the test.
