INDICATIONS AND PROBABLE CAUSES

Front Panel or Circuit Parameters Indicate Abnormal Operation

Connect a terminal or PC to the RS-232 (DB-9) craft interface located on the faceplate. The terminal must be VT100 or compatible and set for 1.2 to 19.2 kbps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Select “3” from the ADTRAN HDSL2 Main Menu Screen and “2” from the Span Status Screen:

Is signal quality fluctuating (this would occur when real-time mode is active)?

Is ATTEN (pulse attenuation) > 30 dB?

Are there any errors counting on the ES, SES, or UAS registers?

If the above conditions do not exist, the circuit should provide quality service; however, if any of the above conditions exist, a cable problem or excessive loss situation is probable and more detailed cable testing should be done to verify all HDSL2 Loop Specifications are met. These conditions may also reflect intermittent cable faults or excessive noise impairments. If intermittent faults or noise impairments are suspected, select “5” from the HDSL2 Main Menu and review the Performance History Screen.
