7 pulses

= WAN receive frame(s) aborted

8 pulses

= Detected WAN receive frame(s) with

 

CRC

9 pulses

= Detected LAN receive frame(s) too large

10 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) not octet aligned

11 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) with bad

CRC

10BT Link (Active Green) Solid green indicates that the

 

10BaseT Ethernet interface has detected a valid

 

SQE heartbeat, signifying a valid 10BaseT con-

 

nection.

NS

(Active Red) Solid red indicates that the Digital

 

Signal Processors (DSPs) are not linked.

ER

(Active Red) Flashing red indicates CRC Errors on

 

DSL (Framer) side if DSL Link is active or if bit

 

errors are received during loop/BER test.

 

- ER flashes once to indicate a CRC error (during

 

normal operation) or bit errors (during Remote

 

Loopback 511/511E tests).

TM

(Active Yellow) Solid Yellow indicates an Active

 

Test Mode. The unit may be placed in test mode

 

by the local user or by the remote user.

5.3 TEST MODES

The Model 1089 offers a proprietary Remote Loopback test modes, plus a built-in V.52 BER test pattern generator to evaluate the communication status between units. Activate this test mode by tog- gling the Test Mode Switch on the front panel of the unit.

5.3.1 Overview

Figure 8 below shows the major elements used in the loop-back and 511 pattern tests available in the Model 1089. Each block has sev- eral functions. Following Figure 7 are descriptions of the elements dur- ing Test Modes.

Framer

 

 

 

 

 

The framer determines the status of the line. In

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

normal operation the framer transmits and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

expects to receive framed packets from the far

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

end. If the framer receives framed packets from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the far end, the DSL Link LED will turn on. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

framed packets are not received, the DSL Link

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LED will turn off. The restart procedure uses this

information to determine if a valid connection is made (cable disconnect, poor cable quality, etc). In normal Data Mode, if the box receives 4 sec- onds of unframed packets it will restart the box and begin trying to re-establish a connection

with the the remote Model 1089. The distinction between framed packets and unframed packets becomes important when we discuss the Pattern Generator.

Pattern Gen/Det This part of the Processor generates and detects the 511/511E patterns. When transmit- ting 511 patterns, the information is unframed
