Theory of Operation Transmit Line Build Out (LBO). The Line Build Out (LBO) feature allows the transmitter output to be degraded to approximate the defined signal at the cross-connect point (STSX-n). When LBO is not enabled, the transmitter output is unfiltered (STS-n), but will meet the Bellcore 253 specifications at the downstream cross-connect point.

Theory of Operation Test Set. Basically the Test Set generates a framed or unframed E4 pattern and supplies the required errors and alarms. This signal can go to either the Tx Line Interface or the Mapper. The Test Set also receives an E4 source from either the Rx Line Interface or the demapped signal and checks for a framed or unframed pattern (as set by software) and any errors or alarms.

Theory of Operation DDS1/VCO/PLL. The DDS1/VCO block is an oscillator that sets the nominal clock frequency for the JAWG.

Troubleshooting Shared Routines There are several routines that are shared by the diagnostic tests. Although you cannot invoke these shared routines individually, you might encounter error messages that originate with the shared routines. The following entries describe the shared routines. RAM Data Line Routine This general routine is used by various tests.

Troubleshooting The individual test routines do not necessarily know whether or not a bus error occurred. The tests simply run to completion. The diagnostic control program checks if a bus error occurred at the completion of each test. Then, if a bus error did occur the Error Message described below is produced.
