LTPH-UM-1109-01, Issue 1

Testing

 

 

The Armed mode has an automatic time-out of 120 minutes, but this timer is reset to 120 for any of the following events:

Loopback terminates (manually or time-out)

Query

Alternate query

Far End activate

Another ARM command

This timer is inhibited while any of the valid command codes are being sent. Once the codes are removed, the timer restarts at 120.

A3LB and A4LB Test Procedures

The H2TU-C-231 can be looped back by sending the Addressable Office Repeater (AOR) LPBK activation code 1111-1111-0001-1110 (FF1E) for at least 5 seconds. This causes the H2TU-C-231 to enter the NLOC state. The Loopback Time-Out setting (see “Setting the Loopback Time-Out Option” on page 46) determines the duration of this loopback unless it is overridden by the reception of a second identical 16-bit loopup command before the timer expires. When this time-out override state exists, the only way to loop the H2TU-C-231 down is to issue one of the three loopdown commands listed in Table 18. The automatic time-out mode is restored during subsequent loopback sessions.

Table 18 summarizes the codes required to execute Addressable 3 (A3LB) and Addressable 4 (A4LB) repeater loopback commands. All code sequences must be present for at least 5 seconds.

(a)The leftmost bit arrives first in all sequences. The detection algorithm functions reliably with a random 10-3BER on the facility. The entire arming and loopback sequence can also be initiated at the remote H2TU-R location.

(b)Not supported by A4LB.
