Options displayed on the second screen include all of the above, plus:

D/I (L)

The data is looped back after the Drop mux, through the Doppler buffer, back into

 

the Insert mux providing a local loop only. The Tx data continues to be transmitted

 

and the Rx data from the satellite is ignored. If Drop/Insert baseband processing

 

is not active, this loops the data at the output of the baseband block (ie it works

 

even if Drop/Insert is not active). ESC & Aux channel data is NOT looped.

FRM (L)

The data is looped after the Framer back into the Deframer providing a local loop

 

only. The Tx data continues to be transmitted and the Rx data from the satellite

 

is ignored. ESC & Aux channel data (which is present in the data stream at the

 

Framer output) is also looped

RS (L)

The data is looped after the Reed-Solomon Encoder / interleaver back into the

 

RS Deinterleaver / decoder providing a local loop only. The Tx data continues to

 

be transmitted and the Rx data from the satellite is ignored. ESC & Aux channel

 

data (which is present in the data stream at the RS codec) is also looped

From the terrestrial port towards the IF ports the loopbacks in the following order test more and more circuitry: Interface, Drop/Insert, Framer, Reed-Solomon, FEC, IF.

REMOTE (R)

This provides a loop of the Rx data after the deframer back into the framer. Tx

 

input data is ignored, Rx traffic continues as normal. Incoming ESC & Aux channel

 

data is not looped back to the remote site.
