1.4.1 FEAC Send Code

Figure 1-1 Accessing FEAC Functions on the DS3 ports of WBE-28/WBE-84 Cards

The "far end" in FEAC refers to the equipment connected to the WBE card and not to the far end of a circuit. In Figure 1-2, if a WBE-28/WBE-84 DS3 (near-end) port is configured to send a line loop code, the code will be sent to the connected test set, not the WBE-28/WBE-84 DS3 (far-end) port. FEAC functions will be available only when the DS3 port is configured in CBIT Framing.

1.4.1 FEAC Send Code

The Send Code column on the WBE-28/WBE-84 cards Maintenance tab only applies to OOS-MA,MT ports configured for CBIT framing. The column lets a user select No Code (the default) or line loop code. Selecting line loop code inserts a line loop activate FEAC in the CBIT overhead transmitting to the connected facility. This code initiates a loopback from the facility to the ONS 15310-MA. Selecting No Code sends a line-loop-deactivate FEAC code to the connected equipment, which will remove the loopback.
