>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > T1X LINE BUILD OUT

Configures the T1 for the appropriate line buildout, based on the distance to the T1 equipment. By default, the line buildout for the TRACER 4106/4206 is 0 dB/133 FT.

>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > ALARM REPORTING

Determines whether the TRACER 4106/4206 unit will report active alarms. If set to DISABLED, no alarms will be displayed on this menu page. The ALARM REPORTING parameter is independently configured for the local and remote TRACER 4106/4206 units. When set to DISABLED, the front panel LED alarms are also disabled (OFF). By default, alarm reporting is set to ENABLED.

>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > SIGNALING

Configures the framing format for the T1 link for both the local and remote TRACER 4106/4206 units. The TRACER 4106/4206 transports T1 data across the link (as long as the T1 signal is properly timed). Configure the framing format (using the SIGNALING menu) to enable the TRACER 4106/4206 to monitor incoming framing error events and indicate problems with the attached metallic service. The TRACER 4106/4206 supports both extended superframe (ESF) and superframe (D4) framing formats. By default, the signaling method is set to ESF.

>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > LINE CODE

Sets the line coding for the T1 link. The TRACER 4106/4206 supports bipolar eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) and alternate mark inversion (AMI) line coding. By default, the line code is set to B8ZS.

>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > LOOP/NORMAL STATE

Controls the loop status of the T1 link. Activates/deactivates loopback conditions for testing purposes.

>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > LOOP/NORMAL STATE > NORMAL

Defines the T1 link as normal data transport mode - there are no active loopbacks.

>T1X STATUS/CONFIGURATION/LOOPBACK > LOOP/NORMAL STATE > LINK [LOCAL]

Activates a loopback at the local TRACER 4106/4206 T1 framer towards the remote end of the wireless link (see Figure 9). Use the local LINK loopback to loop the data transmitted from the remote end of the link back across the radio link to the remote end of the link. This loopback tests the integrity of the radio link and all the associated digital and RF hardware.
