Appendix A

FT1 Loopbacks

GENERAL

This Appendix is an overall reference to the loopback capabilities of the ADTRAN Fractional T1 system. Included in this Appendix is a description of the FT1 loopbacks and the methods for activating the FT1 loopbacks.

FT1 LOOPBACKS

Figure A-1shows the application from the central office (CO) to customer premises. The FT1 Repeaters are shown for convenience and are not necessary parts of the FT1 network. The loopbacks shown are as follows:

A.FT1 DP network loopback

B.FT1 DP CPE loopback

C.FT1 Repeater # 1 network loopback

D.FT1 Repeater # 2 network loopback

E.FNID network loopback

F.FNID CPE loopback

There are two loopbacks available to the FT1 DP. The FT1 DP network loopback loops the FT1 signal

back to the network. The FT1 DP CPE loopback loops the FT1 signal back to the customer.

The FT1 DP network loopback is a digital loopback toward the CO (see Figure A-2). This loopback is initiated by the OCU latching loopback command (N1010101), or by the craft interface, when available. The OCU latching loopback code is detected in the primary DS0 of the FT1 circuit (the channel where the FT1 DP is physically installed) to control the FT1 circuit looping. When the FT1 circuit is looped, all DS0s in use will be looped back toward the network. The DS0s will be transmitted on to the customer.

The FT1 DP CPE loopback is a digital loopback toward customer premises as shown in Figure A-3. This loopback is initiated by the REM LBK button on the FNID, or by the craft interface when available. When the FT1 circuit is looped, all DS0s in use will be looped back toward the customer. All DS0s in use will be filled with all 1s and sent toward the network.
