LOOPBACK OPERATION
HiGain HDSL2 has a family of loopback options for analyzing circuit functionality. The loopback signal is
transmitted and returned to the sending device for comparison. This allows you to verify the integrity of the
HDSL2 channels to the H2TU-C, the H2TU-C DSX-1 interface and the DS1 channels to the customer. Loopback
options include:
Generic Loopback (GNLB) commands, including the SmartJack (SMJK) option (see Table22 on page 56)
Special Loopback (SPLB) commands (see Special Loopback Commands on page56) and the following
command tables:
Addressable Repeater Loopback commands: A2LB (see Table21 on pa g e52)
Addressable Repeater Loopback commands: A3LB, A4LB (see Table24 on page 64)
Loopback commands can be initiated by:
Selecting the loopback type using the MODE and LBK pushbuttons on the H2TU-C front panel or the manual
loopback (LBK) pushbutton on the H2TU- R.
Selecting the loopback type from the Monitor menu when connected to the craft port of the H2TU-C or
H2TU-R
Entering the loopback code into the test equipment connected to the H2TU-C or H2TU-R.
Figure 31. Loopback Summary
HiGain supports multiple loopbacks, but a single loopback is the preferred method.
