The RDL causes the remot unit to loop the data received from the DSL line back tow the DSL line.

4.3.2 Patterns

The LB510A-R2 can generate and detect 511 patterns. These can be initiated either by the middle DIP switch or by the console command dsl set pattern <off511511e>. When the pattern is started, the DSL framer uses its internal 511 pattern generator for its DSL TX data instead of the data received from the serial interface. Also, the framer’s internal BER Meter tries to detect a 511 pattern in the DSL RX data.

Because the BER Meter always runs when the pattern generator runs, the meter will detect errors if either the pattern is not either looped back or the remote unit is not transmitting a 511 pattern.

5. REMOTE CONSOLE OPERATION

The PC user (near-end) may configure and verify status of the remote LB510A-R2 (far- end) via a Remote Console session. The PC user must log onto the LB510A-R2 (near- end) unit to establish a remote console session. Once done, the remote LB510A-R2 (far-end) appears as a unit which is locally connected through the console port. All commands are transmitted over the G.SHDSL link in the EOC channel.
