Chapter 1. Introduction

 

Test Status/Error (Yellow/Red)

 

 

 

 

DTE

ON SOLID indicates DTE interface test in progress.

 

 

FLASHING indicates Loop Interface test (CSU Loop-

 

 

back) has been initiated by telco.

 

 

 

 

Loop

ON SOLID indicates loop interface test has been initiat-

 

 

ed from local DSU.

 

 

FLASHING indicates loop interface test (CSU or DSU

 

 

Loopback) has been initiated by telco.

 

 

 

 

RDL

ON SOLID indicates remote digital loopback test has

 

 

been initiated from the local DSU.

 

 

FLASHING indicates remote digital loopback test has

 

 

been initiated from the remote DSU.

 

 

 

 

PTRN

ON SOLID indicates that integral pattern generator is

 

 

being utilized for testing.

 

 

 

 

Error

ON indicates that errors are being detected during a

 

 

test or that a test can not be properly initiated.

 

 

 

Tests defined by the above indicators are explained in greater detail in Chapter 3, Test Modes on page 3-1.

Test Switches

The front panel also contains two push-button switches for selecting and controlling the various test modes for the DSU 56/64. The descriptions of these switches are as follows:

Select

Each time this switch is activated, a valid test mode is in-

 

dicated by one or more LEDs being turned on solid.

 

Pressing the SELECT button from within an active test in-

 

jects a bit error.

 

 

Test

Once the desired test mode is displayed on the test sta-

 

tus indicators, the test is initiated by activating this

 

switch. Pressing the TEST button again will terminate

 

any test in progress.
